FORTY-EIGHT and FORTY-NINE.
Another most eventful year
Has ended its disturbed career.
Time's clock has struck —the act is o'er,
And Forty-eight is now no more.
Scarce had the dawn of Forty-eight
Been signalled by the dial-plate,
When round all Europe, like a cloud,
Dread elements were seen to crowd,
Not only did our own blest isle
Lose, for a time, its peaceful smile ;
Not only did the Briton hear,
The fearful note of " danger sear ;"
But every throne was seen to rock
Beneath the social earthquake's shock.
The mighty nation of the Gaul
(A scene more terrible than all),
Beheld a king forsake his throne,
And seek a country not his own.
Ahl hapless France ! thy land hath been
A terrible—a fearful scene !
Adown thy streets where armed Men rode,
Thy people's blood hath freely flowed;
While nearly all the civil world
In dread confusion has been hurled.
Few years have seen events so great,
So marvellous as Forty-eight ;
But happily we still retain
Victoria's unmolested reign.
Though civil broils awhile were heard,
Our realm is now no longer stirred.
Peace is restored—Britannia smiles,
And order reigns throughout the isles.
Commerce and trade once more revive,
And promise speedily to thrive.
MOSES and SON rejoice to say
That stilt their Mart retains its sway ;
While palaces and thrones decayed,
They Still were monarchs of the trade.
MOSES and SON, amid the stir,
Are (inner than they ever were;
And like Victoria, they can say,
They grow in confldenee each day.
Nor have they ever had to fear
The changes of the bygone year.
MOSES and SON, in Forty-eight,
Have met with favours more than great ;
And multitudes have lent their aid
In every branch of MOSES' trade.
They feel their gratitude is due
For trading favours ever new.
- And action—better far than word—
Shall liquidate the debt incurred.
MOSES and SON, the coming year,
In brighter colours will appear ;
While all their energies combine
In signalising For ty •nine.
Their efforts to exceed the past,
Throughout the ensuing year shall last.
They could a trading ;ale disclose
Surpassing far what you suppose.
The capital at their command
Shall place them on a higher stand;
A thousand benefits shall show
Thanks for the favours you bestow.
MOSES and SON will prove to you
What trading enterprise can do.
While quality and price combine
To claim your aid for Forty-nine.
In all the garments you may wear,
• Improvements shall be brought to bear.
MOSES and SON would thus defray
The debt which they have now to pay ;
And doubtless in the ensuing year
All efforts will be mutual here.
While MOSES thus would study you,
Your daily favours you'll renew.
MOSES and SON request your aid,
And trust you'll patronise their trade.
;Consult yourselves," they say, " and come
For garments at a moderate sum.
Think what You've gaited in years gone by,
And grant a favouring reply.
You never found them once contemn
The trust which you reposed in them ;
And when the present Reason ends,
Still, still will MOSES' prove your friends.
And coming to a climax hero,
They wish their patrons, far and near,
A happy and a prosperous year..
