THE AULD MAN in ALDGATE.

I met a Ivan, a venerable man,
" Whose days had dwindled to the shortest span."
Near Aidgate Church the aged stranger stood,
And leau'd upon a stiff of knotted wood ;
While, ever and anon, he rals'd his eyes
With looks of min). led pleasure and surprise.
Seeing him there, I stay'd my onward walk,
In hopes, at length, of getting hint to talk ;
Then stepping up—" hood morning, Sir," said I—
" Good morning," was the grey hair'd man's reply.
" I can't help looking," said the " Man ct Yore,"
" It that great house which 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 love thought it twenty years ago ?
But will you," ask'd the venerable man,
"Explain the l;ousos en so great a plan ?"
" With all my heart," said I, " I'm always glad,
To give instruction where it may be had.
This is the Mart of MOSES, so renown'!,
In ell the land and all the world around ;
Part of the warehouse (venerable sire)
Is set apart for
GENTLEMEN'S ATTIRE,
Attire which no one had the luck to know
Ere MOSES opeied—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 fauna to bear.
MOSES and SON were first in all the trade
By whom reductions in the price were made.
A HAT MART,"
I continned, "yogi will see,
On turning round your eyes to eighty-three.
Such Hats and Caps are parchas'it there," said
" As you have never witness'," years gone by.
A BOOT MART
Also helps to swell the pile;
Put on your glasses Sir—'tis worth your while.
MOSES and SON, in Boot, and Shoes, have shown
That none can match the value of their own.
FURS, SHAWLS, AND HOSIEITY
Likewise from a part,
And help to magnify that giant Mart
MOSES and SON, in goods like tlfese, as well,
Successfully endeavour to excel.
THEIR MART POlt OUTFITS
Clearly shows alike
What advantageous bargains we may strike,
And thus have I endeavour'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.
