TO the CLERK of the WEATHER.,

Clerk of the weather, radon my audacity,
In writing to a personage like thee ;
Ind kindly condescend, in thy capacity,
To listen to a word or two from me.
I wish from one, who understands the weather,
To ascertain the length of Winter's tethtr.
How long will Winter, with an aspect surly,
Retain possession, now his lease is out?
The Spring glad ckanges—thou know'st is far from early—
And seems to hesitate in doubt.
Oh I lir. Clerk, I would that my barometer
Would indicate a rise in the chronometer.

The world of fashion, when this weather closes,
A beautiful appearance will assume ;
Yes, well I know, front what is done by MOSES,
That thousands will be clothed in prime costume.
MOSES and SON this Spring-time will endeavour
To furnish better articles than ever.
NOSES and SON'S Establishment is teeming
With Coats, and Tests, and Trows.ers choicely made;
And many an eye with satisfaction beaming,
Has made selections from this stock in trade.
Such clothes as these were never put together,
And crowds are longing for a change of weather.
Hats, Boots, and Shoes, and Hosiery, toe, are ready
At MOSES' Mort, in waiting for the Spring ;
I really wish the weather would be steady,
That we might don the dress of which I sing.
Thus may it be—and ere these lines are printed,
May Winter do what I've politely hinted.
