MY FATHER'S OLD FILE.

One day I was searching the library closet,
Where many old documents formed a deposit ;
And having examined the contents awhile,
I happened to "feet with my father's old file.
'Twas loaded with papers refer ing to trade,
And I'm happy to say that the bills were all paid.
For my father did things in a straightforward style,
Al proved by the swarms of receipts on his file.
You'll not be surprised that among the amounts
I should meet with a number of tailors' accounts.
The bill of a tailor I found in the pack,
Which my father had settled just twenty years back ;
So, thinks I to myself, I will give it a quiz,
And see what the price on the document is.
COAT, WAISTCOAT, AND TROWSERS
Were named in the bill,
And the price was enough to make any one ill.
I cannot remember the sum to a fraction,
Out really it wasn't an honest transaction ;
And I couldn't help thinking how much had been done
By those great modern tailors—E. MOSES and SON,
Who would make one a suit in the very first style
For half the amount on my father's old file.

RANCE SOCIETY.
26, Cornhill, London.
Capital A 500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages
with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annutles.

sion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary

feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid.

sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent. on the Premiums paid
on each Policy effected on the profit scale.
