VALENTINE'S VISIT;

R, A FOR THLAIES.
I've a lauOghable tale for the ladies -What is it ?
leL
And well known as St. Valentine's visit.
I've venot
. a ntship to
31ThaedeS
al ng 'tls one that the fair will discuss,
ventured
call t•• whose
it. The story runs thus:—
And every one season is now near at ham',
other day at St. Martin's-le-Grand ;
Onst. account of tknheetewinwkhnonmditthwe asleerbyof-thhies-beyyee.•
Valentine's dress was remarkably smart,
And the buttons that decked it were stamped with a heart.
On reaching the principal Post-office pile,
St. Valentine entered its doers with a smile,
And thus he inquired as a servant drew near,
" If you please is the Marquis of Clanricarde here ?"
" Yes he is," said the page, as he stared very hard,
"If so," said St. Valentine, take him my card."
The card and the Clanricarde very soon met,
And the Marquis's stare I shall never forget.
" You'll conduct him this way," said his Lordship to John,
And back came the man with the livery on.
I need not describe how the gentlemen met,
You're aware that they both understand etiquette.
" I've called, my Lord Marquis, and pardon me, pray,
Concerning yourself and St. Valentine's day.
Bach thousands of love-letters then will be written,
By ladies and gentlemen all ever Britain,
That a hundred new hands I am sure will be needed,
In order that business may not be impeded.
Your Lordship must know (said the match-making one),
That the increase is owing to MOSES and SON.
I need not inform you that love's tender passion
Is often awakened by matters of fashion ;
Many thousands of ladies feel love's warming Are
Through fist of all noticing
STYLISH ATTIRE.
Yes, many a lady I've proved has been won
By the torm.decking raiment of MOSES and SON.
For instance, I knew a Miss Dorothy Dote,
Who first learned to love on account of a coat ;
The fit was so true, and the style was so smart,
That the fair lest her heart through MOSES' famed Mart.
I knew a ease even stranger than that,
Where Patty the pretty was won by
A HAT.
'Twas MOSES and SON'S, and the Hat was so natty,
So stylish and good, that it overcame Patty ;
Insomuch as the pretty one oftentimes said
That the owner, she knew, had a sensible head.
THE BOOTS MADE BY MOSES,
Which fit so exact,
Like loadstones, are oftentimes known to attract.
And many strange things I have known come to pass,
With a tend-looking boot and a good-looking lass.
With regard to the opposite sex 'tis the same,
Ladles' dress very often enkindles the flame.
MOSES' FURS,
Se attractive in style to beholders,
Werra gentlemen's bosoms as well as fair shoulders.
Many thousands on both sides are constantly smitten,
And galores of epistles are now being written."
" I'm aware," said his Lordship, " that much has been done
In matters of love by E. MOSES and SON.
And, Sir, I will carry out all that you say,
With regard to more hands on St. Valentine's Day."
Here Saint Valentine bowed, as he bid his adieu,
And so did the Postmaster-General, too.

'Ailed list of prices for each department, with full directions for self-
measurement, may be had en application, or forwarded post-free.
