INCORPORATED PURSUANT TO ACT OF PARLIAMENT.
At the present day, when Railway travelling has become almost
universal, protection against the pecuniary loss to which the families
of Buff, rers from the accidents incidental to it are exposed, is one of
the requirements of the age. To mcet this general feeling, this Society
affords to all persons, of whatever class, travelling by Railway in
great Britain and Ireland, the opportunityof insuring against loss of
life by accident whilst so travelling, at the moderate premium of
its. per cent., ii one single payment, for the whole period of life,
thereby rendering unnecessary the payment of Annual Premiums, as
ia ordinary Life Assurance.
EXAMPLE.—A. person may by one single payment of 51. assure to
his family or others the sum of 1,0001., to be paid in the event of his
*sing his life by railway travelling in Great Britain or Ireland.

ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
The oldest and most successful Life Assurance Office in Scotland.
Mutual Assurance. The whole Profits belong to the Members.
CAPITAL UPWARDS OF TWO MILLIONS.
Annual Revenue upwards of Three Hundred Thousand Pounds.
Average Amount of Insurances during the last twelve years, upwards
of Half a Million Annually.
The representatives of an original member dying in the present
year, after payment of the premium for the current year, would re-
ceive a bonus equal to upwards of 91 per cent. on the original sum
Insured. And the representatives of an original member dying in the
year 1852, after payment of the premium for that year, would
receive a bonus equal to upwards of 106 per cent. on the sum
Insured.
Tarions inquiries having of late been made as to whether this
Society is in the practice of allowing commission to solicitors and
others who may be the means of procuring business, the Directors
take this opportunity of expressing their disapproval of the system,
and of intimating that except to the recognised and duly appointed
local agents of the Society, no allowance of the kind is ever made,
the effect of any such misapplication of the funds of a Mutual As-
surance Society being to withdraw from its members a portion of
the profits which ought to be reserved for their benefit, and for
their benefit alone.

formation obtained at the Head Office, or at any of the Society's

'LIOUGERE'S CELEBRATED OVERCOATS.
"Mr. Fougere, of 6, Conduit-street, Tailor to his Royal Highness
Primer Albert, and the successful patentee of the celebrated WELLING-
Tort Smixoux(now worn by almost every nobleman and gentleman in
the kingdom, and suitable for every season of the year), has again
provided for the comfort of the public, having just introduced ano-
ther new coat for winter, called the ROYAL SIBERIAN OVERCOAT,'
which although perfectly porous, will resist twenty-four hours' in-
cessant rain; and while as light as a cork, is warm, pliant, and com-
fortable as fur. Although richly trimmed, so as to be suitable to
first-class wearers, the price is only Fifty Shillings. We heartily wish
Mr. Fougere the success which his ingenuity and enterprise merit."

THE BOYS and the BALLOT;
Or, A LESSON for the LITTLE.
I went to spend an evening, by desire,
With Alexander Harrison, Esquire.
When, pleasing to myself, as you'll suppose,
A most amusing incident arose.
Fiiend Harrison is one who well enjoys,
A little pleasure with his little boys.
And so you'll think, on reading this suggestion,
Of Mr. 11. upon the night in question.
" My lads," said he, " I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll buy the clothes, and leave the choice to you.
Let each one choose whose dress he'd like to wear,
And let's have Vote by Ballot—that's most fair ;
You'll not consult together—each must choose
According to his own unbiassed views.
Write down your favourite shops—and after that,
I'll put the slips of paper in a hat ;
And then shall Mr Temple (meaning me)
Make known your choices, just as they may be."
The lads delighted, did its they were told,
And half-a-dozen ballots were unrolled.
I took the papers, and on opening one,
I found it written thus:—E. M. and SON.
The second paper was the very same,
And Number Three bore also MOSES' name.
Four, five, and six were likewise worded thus,
And hence the ballot was unanimous.
" Now," said the father, " what the ballot shows, is
That all of you have duly valued MOSES;
And every one of you, as you desire,
Shall have a suit of MOSES'
YOUTH'S ATTIRE.
I hear, my lads, that MOSES' have on hand
A stock of dress unequalled in the land.
We'll go to-morrow to the noted Mart.
Where juvenile attire is sold so smart;
And having ordered what you need in that,
MOSES shall furnish each
A HANDSOME HAT.
My own, in which the ballot-slips were tossed
Is high in quality, though low in cost;
And those, my boys, which I shall buy for you,
Will look right well. and ample service do.
THE BOOTS AND SHOES
Which I shall purchase there
Are just the things for lads like you to wear.
I quite commend yoer choice, and your Mamma,
Seems pleased to find what your selections are.
And by-the-bye, we must remember her,
By patronising MOSES'
STYLISH FUR.
For I suppose, nay lads, your votes included
The articles to which I have alluded;
And, doubtless, you will all conclude with me,
That MOSES sells
UNRIVALLED HOSIERY.
MOSES and SON in this have long been noted,
And well you seemed to know it, when you voted.
I quite commend you for the choice you carry,
Jem, Alexander, Tom, Ned, Bill, and Harry.
And Mr. Temple I am sore won't fail,
To make your choice the subject for a tale."
E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
their low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
755., lower if required. The list can be had en application, or sent
post free.
Notice.—A New Department far the sale of Parasols and Chil
dren's Dresses has been opened at 157, Mlnories.
E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting-

of by the public.
