RA, What Lights are these? Vi-ions of by-gone times, but now
realities—The Diamond Lamp is perfect—lts equal is unknown.
The Diamond Light for India is tranquil amid the draught of the
Punkah—The Vertical Lamp is shadowless and simple to perfection
The pearl Candle Lamp is worth a hundred other Candle Lamps

THE WAR in the PUNJAUB.
A. WORD TO LORD GOUGH.
My Lord, you pardon a pun on the Punjaub,
When I say 'tis a bad job as well as a done job.
Napier, it appears, is to start as your peer,
Commanded to take the commandership here.
Gough must go of, so the rulers declare,
And another must settle the Sutlej affair.
This decision, my Lord, may be painful to you,
But I view it as proper—l certainly do.
Only think of the victims who fell by the Jhelum,
I fain would restore them, and raise them, and heal'em,
And view the brave captains who now are no more,
Who fought their last fight on the Jhelum's red shore.
Tint, my rd, I forbear, and at once I would waive
A topic so touching—a subject so grave.
I was thinking, my Lord, that the subject is one
Which may give an idea to E. MOSES and SON.
Though you as Commander-in-Chief must come back
With something which greatly resembles the sack.
Still. still Messrs. MOSES and SON are display ed
As the gallant Commanders-in-Chief of the trade.
Encamped on a spot for which multitudes search,
Commanding a view ot.St. Botolph's tall church.
E. MOSES and SON in a mercantile war
Have faced competition, and male him withdraw.
THE GARMENTS OF MOSES
Command admiration,
As samples of fashion, whatever our station.
And a'l who such articles wisely procure
A very commanding appearance ensure.
THE HATS AND HBOOTS
Bought at M' ,SES depot
Command approbation wherever they go ;
And MOSES' command the respect of the buyer
Precisely the same as they do in attire.
While armies of ladies (excuse such a phrase),
Honour MOSES and SON with unlimited praise :
FURS, HOSIERY, SHAWLS,
And in fact all the rest,
Command vast support as the cheipest and best.
And thus Messrs. MOSES and SON are displayed
As Commanders-in-Chief in the battle of trade.

-A R R I A G E.
MOne half the world are desolately single, and the other
!supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense et right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
hitterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
eomprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should mat he the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand thp.t health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect woand more sorely than poyerty er misfortune. Reader, if
