No alphabetic characters we see,
More requisite in trade than-L. S. D. ;
Which letters of the alphabet, I deem,
Will furnish Moses with a tidy theme.
Pounds, Shillings, Pence, in all their worth we see
Embodied in the cyp'iers, L. S. D.
In all transactions, all affairs of trade,
These characters are legibly. displayed ;
And well 'twould be if no one would abuse
The arithmetic signs which thus they use.
The ancient adage daily goes its rounds,
That p ace amount to shillings—shillings, pounds.
_ Dow necessary, then, that all should see
The importance of improving L. S. D.
These characters may be improved by all
Who favour Moses' warehouse with a call.
By here obtaining Moses' famous dresses,
You'll very shortly change your D.'s to S.'s.
Nay, more than that : experience daily tells
That S.'s here are changed to golden L.'s.
I here allude to moderate prices paid
For all the articles In Moses' trade.
The reader can't do better than to try
Moses and Son's superior supply.
Sound quality and elegance appear
In all the various clothing purchased here ;
And as to price, you cannot fail to see
What honest use is made of L. S. D.

How THE ELECTRIC EEL IS CAucinr.--All other
fishes fly the vicinity of these formidable eels. Even the
fisherman, angling from the high bank, fears lest the
damp line should convey the shock to him from a dis-
tance. Thus, in these regions, electric fire breaks forth
from the bosom of the waters. The capture of the
gymnoti affords a picturesque spectacle. Mules and
horses are driven into a marsh, which is closely sur-
rounded by Indians, until the unwonted noise and dis-
turbance induce the pugnacious fish to begin an attack.
One sees them swimming about like serpents, and trying
cunningly to glide under the bellies of the horses. Many
these are stunned by the force of the invisible blows;
others, with manes standing on end, foaming with wild
terror sparkling in their eyes, try to fly from the raging
tempest. But the Indians, armed with long poles of
bamboo, drive them back into the middle of the pool.
Gradually the fury of the unequal strife begins to
slacken. Like cloud
which have discharged their elec-
tricity, the wearied fish begin to disperse; long repose
and abundant food are required to replace the galvanic
oftetr
force which they have expended. Their shocks become
graduallyweaker and weaker. Terrified by the noise
horses, they timidly approach the bank,
where they piing
are wounded by harpoons, and cautiously
drawn on shore by non-conducting pieces of dry woOd.—
