TO the CLERK of the WEATHER.

Clerk of the weather, rardon my audacity,
In writing to a personage like thee ;
And kindly condescend, in thy capacity,
To listen to a word or two from me.
I wish from one, who understands the weather,
To ascertain the length of Winter's tether.

How long will Winter, with An aspect surly,
Retain possession, now his lease is out ?
The Spring glad c'aanges—thou know'st is far from early—
And seems to hesitate in doubt.
Oh ! Mr. Clerk, I would that my barometer
Would indicate a rise in the chronometer.

The world of fashion, when this weather closes,
beautife appearance will assume ;
Tes, well I know, from what is done by MOSES,
That thousands will be clothed in prime costume.
MOSES and SON this Spring-time will endeavour
To furnis't better articles than ever.

MOSES and SON'S Establishment is teeming
With Coats, and Vests, and Trotssers choicely mada ;
And many an eye with satisfaction beaming,
Has made selections from this stock in trade.
Such clothes as these were never put together,
And crowds are longing for a change of weather.
Hats, Boots, and Shoes, and Hosiery, too, are ready
At MOSES' Mart, in waiting for the Spring ;
I really wish the weather would be steady,
That we might don the dress of which I sing.
Thai may it be—and ere these lines are printed,
May Winter do what I've politely hinted.
