THE DAY OF THE DERBY.
A DITTY FOR THE DOWNS.
Blame not my admiration, when I say,
I love the pleasures of a Derby Day ;
For pleasing is the scene which yearly crowns
The verdant slopes of EpFom's far-f:med Downs.
The claw ning of the day is t shercd In
With animating stir and welcome din ;
And atany a face with smiling gladness shows
That many a treast wi.h sporting ardour glows.
This season is a holiday in which
The young and old partake—the poor and rich.
The road-side inns throughout the exciting day,
A scene of glad activity display ;
While loaded 'vehicle, from neighbouring towns
Convey their then ands to the busy Downs.
Blame not my admiration when I say
I love the pleasures of a Derby Day.
Is there not mu, h to notice and admire
In multitudes adorned with choice attire.
On this glad day the crowded race-course showli
The choicest specimens of summer clothes.
Moses and Son are seen in every track,
And I had nearly said on every back ;
And such attractions would alone repay
A trip to Epsom on the Derby Day.
If, reader, you have never chanced to view
What Moses' Dress Establishment can do.
A visit to the Epsom Downs will show
What vast improvements to this Mart we owe.
Thee you mill see the new Spring Wrappers worn,
With every beauty that can well adorn ;
And dress-coats, sporting-costs, and frock-coats too,
End vests and trousers elegant to view ;
While well-shod feet as well as well-decked crowns,
Contribute to the scend on Epsom Dawns,
And render Moses with their choice,display,
Successful winners on the Derby Day.

LEA. One half the world are desolately single, and the other
upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
~ense on right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-

-itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
ri caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
•oaiprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
,nd social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
,lement. Honour and justicedernand that health shouldform an item
n the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
;hese surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
