JACK PROS TS•LECTURE
OR, A SKETCH FOR THE SKATERS.
In Snowball-road, not far from Winter-square,
Stan's Skater's Halt— a very fine affair.
And here, for years, while many a form has shivered,
Jack Frost his annual lecture has delivered.
So being fend of skates, as well as rhymes
(For poets condescend to skate at times),
I purposed that when Jack should lecture next,
I'd go and listen how he used his text.
The time arrived, and posters on the wall
Announced Jack Frost's address at Skaters' Hall.
So in I went, with half-a• guinea ticket,
- And got a sitting, just in time to pick it.
. The Hall was shortly filled to suffocation,
And every one appeared in expectation.
But though we thus were jatnmed, as in a vice,
Each auditor appeared as cold as ice.
At length the learned lecturer arose,
While greeting hundreds, stamped with tingling toes ;
And wishing all to know what there I heard,
I copied down the lecture, word for word.
" Ladies and Gentlemen," said Master Jack,
" I chiefly dwelt on skates a twelvemonth back ;
But now I really think I can't do less
Than let you know my thoughts on
SKATING DRESS.
Dress Is a most essential thing in skating,
To say 'tis not, would be but useless prating.
MOSES and SON, who charge a moderate price,
Have most superior clothing for the ice.
Clothing in which all skaters should equip,
Who wish to thaw the evils of a dip.
No fear of water giving cold," said Jack,
" With MOSES'. Waterproofs upon your back.
I'm glad thfi amphitheatre discloses
Such qualities of skating•coats from MOSES.
I see," said Mr. Frost from where he stood,
"You're like the Lord Mayor's Fool—you know what's good ;
And none of you, I find, have been such flats,
As not to purchase MOSES'
SKATING HATS.
Yes, Skatitig.Hats —you'll understand the term,
Fitting, elastic, waterproof, and firm ;
The qualities on which I'm now dilating,
Are strongly tested in the sport of skating.
Added to these, you need, in such pursuits,
Those valued needfuls—MOSES'
SKATING BOOTS.
With Boots like these, in every sense first-raters,
You cannot fail in being splendid skaters ;
Besides, the leather and the make are such
As any gentleman would value much.
No penetrating snow, no. drenching damp
Can find access to give the feet the cramp.
I've also thought of Many things worth stating,
Concerning MOSES'
HOSIERY FOR SKATING.
Of course you know, that for a moderate price,
You'll get those-choice etceteras for the ice ;
MOSES and SON supply the very hest
Of Neckerchiefs and Gloves, and all the rest;
And, furtherinore, I would assure you, Sirs,
That MOSES' sell the choicest
SKATING FURS.
I'm sure," said Jack, " that all the ladies present,
On whom Lcan't help looking rather pleasant,
Will patronise that Raft, whose Fur goods warm,
Protect the fair ones from each wintry storm."
With this the lecturer politely bowed.
Amid Inc cneeritig of the assembled crowd.
E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
heir low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
755., lower if required. The list can be had on application, or sent

JAMES' CELEBRATED ASTILIAN TINC
TURE FOR TIIE TIC DOLOREUX,
will prove an invaluable medicine to those suffering from this most
excruciating and hitherto-considered incurable complaint. A know-
ledge of its surprising efficacy has induced the proprietors to bring it
more extensively before the Public than has.hitherto been done, and
thus confer a blessing upon thousands now labour* Ander that
distressing malady; the first application not only easing the patient
of all pain, but effecting in almost every case, a lasting cure.
As a remedy for Toothache, the proprietors can confidently recom-
mend it as one that cannot be surpassed.
This medicine is also a certain specific for Spasms, however violent,
especially in the stomach or bowels, and from its perfect freedom
from anything of a deleterious character, may be administered under
any circumstances with entire safety.

_ a One half the world are desolately single, and the other
sapposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sanse of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
s:tier the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
csPriprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. ?hysical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CIJLVERWELL'S little
