QI T. VALENTINE'S VISIT;
OR, A LAUGH ,FOR THE LADIES.
I've a laughable tale for the ladies—What is it ? .
A story well known as St. Valentine's visit.
And knowing 'tis one that the fair will discuss,
I've ventured to give it. The story runs thus:—
The Salntship, whose season is now near at hand,
Made a. call t'other day at St. Martin's-le,Grand ;
And every one knew whom it was, by-the-bye,
On account of the wink and the leer of his eye.
St. Valentine's dress was remarkably smart,
And the buttons that decked it were stamped with a heart.
On reaching the principal Post-office pile,
St. Valentine entered its doers with a smile,,
And thus he inquired as a servant drew near,
• "If you please is the Marquis of Clanricarde here 7"
"Yes he is," said the page, as he stared very hard,
" If so," said St. Valentine, " take him my.card."
`The Card and the Clanricarde very soon met,
And the Marquis's stare I shall never forget.
" You'll conduct him this way," said hit Lordship to John,
And back came the man with the livery on.
I need not describe how the gentlemen met,
You're aware that they both understand etiquette.
f. I've called; my Lord Marquis, and pardon me, pray,
Concerning yourself and St. Valentine's day.
Such thousands of love-letters then will be written,
By ladies and gentlemen all over Britain,
That a hundred new hands I am sure will be needed,
In order that business may flat be impeded.°
your. Lordship must know (said the match-mating one),
• That'the increase is owing to MOSES and SON.
I need not interm you that love's tender passion
Ts often awakened•by matters of fashion ;
Many thousands of ladies feel love's warming lire
Through ft: et of all noticing
STYLISH ATTIRE.
Yes, many a lady I've proved has been won
By the form-decking raiment of MOSES and SON.
For instance, I knew a Miss Dorothy Dote,
Who first learned to love on account of a coat ;
The lit was so true, and the style was FO smart,
That the fair lost her heart through MOSES' famed Mart.
I knew a ease even stranger than that,
Where Patty tha pretty was won by
A HAT.
'Twas MOSES and SON'S, and the Hat was so natty,
So stylish and good, that it overcame Patty ;
Insomuch as the pretty one oftentimes said
That the owner, she knew, had a sensible head.
THE BOOTS MADE BY MOSES,
Which fit so exact,
Like loadstones, are oftentimes known to attract.
And many strange things I have known come to pass,
With a good-looking boot and a good-looking lass.
With regard-to the opposite sex 'tie the Sallie,
• Ladies' dress very often enkindles the flame.
MOSES' FURS,
So attractive in style to beholders,
• Warns gentlemen's bosoms as well as fair shoulders.
. Many thousands on both sides are constantly smitten,
And galores of epistles are now being written."
' " I'm aware," said his Lordship, " that much has been done
In matters of love by E. MOSES and SON.
And, Sir, I will carry out all that you say,
With regard to more hands on St. Valentine's I)ay."
Here Saint Valentine bowed, as he bid his adieu,
And so did the Postmaster-General, too.
A. new work, entitled " The Treasury of Taste:" containing a de-
tailed list of prices for each department, with full directions for self-
measurement, nay be had on application, or forwarded post-free.
