To AN- OLD NEWSPAPER.

Time-honoured print, with interest I peruse
Thy paragraphs of long-forgotten news.
While reading thy intelligence, I know
What busy man was doing years ago.
I read of men and manners as they were,
And muse on topics which have ceased to stir.
And much I find to please, while I peruse
Thy paragraphs of long-forgotten news.
While glancing at thy advertising sheet,
With trail ng, and commercial names I meet ;
And IN Idle 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, methiiik., would smile to see
The high-priced clothing advertised in thee.
For since thy old advertisements were printed,
The tailors' profits have been greatly stinted.
Look et tlie prices charged by Moses now,
And yet theirdress is good, as all allow.
Their clothing, hosiery, hats, and bolts, 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Are out of date, and laid upon the shelf,
And other goods, for other prices made,
Prove Messrs' Moses first in all the trade.
