What busy man was doing year
paragraphs of long-forgotten news.

I read of men and manners as they were
And much I find to please, while I
Thy paragraph., of long-forgotten news
While klanciug at thy advertising sheet.,
With trading and commercial names I meet;
And while I look thy business columns o'er,
I read of houses which are now no more.
Some change, old print, has taken place, I guess,
Since thou was't issued from the public press.
I search thy-columns, but my searching closes,
Without my coming to the names of Moses:
A trading name, which now-a-days is seen
In many a paper—many a magazine.
Moses and Son, methinks, would smile to see
The high-priced clothing advertised in thee.
For since thy old advertisei,ents were printed,
The tailors' profits have been greatly stinted.
Look 4 the prices charged by Moses now,
And yet their dress is good, as all allow.
Their clothing, hosiery, hats, and bents, and shoes,
Are what the most particular would choose.
A striking evidence in thee appears,
That Moses was required in by-gone years.
The goods thou advertisest, like thy. elf,
Are out of dale, and laid upon the shelf,
And other goods, for other prices made,
Prove Messrs. Moses first in all the trade.
