CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.
The gaiety that reigns supreme at the social re-unions of this
period of the year induces the fair and youthful to be more than usu-
ally desirous of shining in personal attraction, while the rick luxuri-
ant tress, the clear and transparent complexion, and the pearly set
of teeth form admirable trophi.:, of the inestimable virtues of
ROWLAN DS' M ACASSAR OIL,
ROWL ANDS' KALYDOR,
And ROWLANDS' ovoyro, or PEARL DENTIFRICE.
The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, and their general use
by the aristocracy and the elite of fashion, together with the confir-
mation by experience of the infallible efficacy of these creative and
renovating specifics, have characterised them with perfection, and
given them a celebrity unparalleled.
As presents for both sexes none can be mere recommendatory, or
More now in general use.
BEWARE OF SPURIOUS IMITATIONS.
Some are offered under the itnplied sanction of royalty, and the
Government Departments, and similar attempts at deception. The
only Genuine of each bears the name of " ROWLANDS' " preceding
that of the Articles on the Wrapper or Label, with their Signature
at the foot, in Red Ink, thus
A. ROWLAND/ AND SONS.
Sold by them at n, Hatton-garden, London, and by respectable
Chemists and Perfumers.

THE BELLS OF ST.
A NEW YEAR'S NOTION
'Twas New Year's Eve—the last of last December—
Between eleven and twelve, if I remember,
When merily the bells of Aldgate Church,
Told us the year had left us in the lurch •
In other words, they rung with pleasing din,
The old year out, and then the new year in ;
And being rather sleepy at the time,
I closed my eyes and dreamt about the chime.
I fancied I was taken, unawares,
Slap through the gates, and up the steeple stairs;
And having reached the bell-loft in the steeple,
lifethought the bells could talk like " other people."
The treble bell, while up and down it„swung,,
First in the octave wagged its iron tongue :
" Brethren," said he, " excuse your little brother
In rising first—we understand each other.
I beg to drop a hint which you'll discuss,
Touching that mart which faces us;
The Warehouse opposite, we know full well,
Like Aldgate steeple, long has borne the bell ;'
And certainly this year before it closes,
Should hear a first-rate peal in praise of MOSES."
" That's right," said Number Two, " we can't do less,
On looking at their quality in
DRESS.
A very wise suggestion, Brother Treble,
And one which we'll adopt without a quibble.
MOSES and SON a merry peal shall hear,
For what they've done in trade the by-gone year.
Ring 1 Brothers, ring ! do justice with your clappers,
To Dress-coats, Trowsers, Vests, and Wrappers.'
" Well done," said Number Three, " you're coming out ;
I quite agree with what you've talked about,
Much might be said in praise of this and that Mart,
But I'm inclined t,ci,:ltioir
IhuupronMAßT.
MOSES its Hats and Caps are truly ` cappers,'
And hence we'll advertise them with our clappers."
" 'decidedly we will,' said Number Four,
" 11l lend a hand to publish such a store ;
Nor do I think that any will refuse
To ring the changes on
THE BOOTS AND SHOES.
From what we view, on looking from our steeple,
MOSES' prime Shoes are valued by the people."
This was responded to by Number Five,
Who felt assured that MOSES still would thrive.
And in addition hoped they'd nor demur,
In giving sue round peal for
MOSES' FUR.
" You need not be afraid," said Number Six,
Our peals of praise shall shake these stones and bricks;
And, doubtless, we shall all of us agree
In praising MOSES'
-- FIRST CLASS HOSIERY.
They've so7d such famous goods throuehout the year,
That really we are bound to applaud them here.
"MOSES' PRI Nil: OURFITS,"
Said the last but one,
An equal credit to the Mart have done."
" Well," said the Tenor, " I am pleased to know,
That all my brothers value MOSES so.
I quite agree wills all of you, and, therefore,
We'll set to work without a why or wherefore."
Then off they went, quite glorying in their theme,
And I awoke and found it was a dream.

their low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
