THE AULD MAN in ALDGATE.
I met a titian, a venerable man,
" Whose days had dwindled to the shortest span."
Near Al/41gate Church the aged stranger stood,
And leau'd upon a ste ff of knotted wood ;
While, ever and anon, he rais'd his eyes
With looks of miru led pleasure and surprise.
Seeing him there, I stay'd my onward walk,
In hopes, at length, of getting him to talk ;
Then stepping up —" Good morning, Sir," said I—
" Good morning," was the grey hair'd man's reply.
" I can't help looking," said the " Man of Yore,"
"At that great house whiCt now we stand before.
'Tis twenty years ago since I was here,
And what a mighty change 1 0 dear, 0 dear
There's an extensive warehouse! There's a show!
Who would have thought it twenty years ago ?
But will you," ask'd the venerable man,
" Explain the housos en so great a plan ?"
" With all my heart," said I, " I'm always glad,
To give instruction where it may ho had.
This is the Mart of MOSES, so renown'd,
In all the land and all the world around ;
Fart of the warehouse (venerable sire) 1
Is set apart for
GENTLEMEN'S ATTIRE,
Attire which no one had the luck to know
Ere MOSES open'd—twenty years ago.
The splendid house, which yonder you behold,
Is but a sample of the garments sold,
And understand," said I, " that cheapness there
An equal prominence is found to bear.
MOSES and SON were first in all the trade
By whom reductions in the price were made.
A HAT MART,"
I continned, "you will see,
On turning round your eyes to eighty-three.
Such Hats and Caps are purchased there," said I,
" As you hare never witness'd years gone by.
A BOOT MART
Also helps to swell the pile;
Fut on your glasses Sir—'tis worth your while.
MOSES and SON, in Boots and Shoes, have shown
That none can match the value of their own.
FURS, SHAWLS, AND HOSIERY
Likewise from a part,
And help to magnify that giant Mart;
MOSES and SON, in goods like these, as well,
Successfully endeavour to excel.
THEIR MART I'OR OUTFITS
Clearly shows alike
What advantageous bat gains we may strike,
And thus have I endcavour'd to convey,
A faint Idea of that superb display."
With this I cut the friendly chat asunder,
And left the " Auld Man" gazing still in wonder.
