MY FIRST SUIT OF CLOTHES.

My first suit of clothes, I remember them still,
And the price that they cost, for I've still got the bill.
If I recollect rightly, E. MOSES and SON,
At the time I refer to, had only begun.
And bein; but young, as of course you'll suppos,
My p irents obtained me my first snit of clothes.e

- -
My mother. one day, with a smile that bewitched,
Said she thought it high time for the boy to be breeched.
If so, said my father, the job shall be done,
And, mark you, we'll go to E. MOSES and SON.
You've heard of the dress their Establishment shows?
Let us start off at once for the first suit of clothes.

So away we all jogged, near to Aldgate churchgate,
And perceived two large houses, which now are made eight.
I wish, said my father, on entering these,
To look at your juvenile dress, if you please.
And the very first glance, as you'll doubtless suppose.
Made him bargain at once for my first suit of clothes.

I scarcely need say 'twas a capitri one ;
And a suit that did credit to MOSES and SON.
Such, indeed, was the case, though the price that was paicl,
Was quite a new thinz in the tailoring trade.
And the fact, that I still buy of them, plainly shows,
That they've not been ren,ss in my last suit of clother.

Z. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shootin.-
coats, which ',assess a peculiar cat and style, adding much comfort
12 the fit. E. M. and 9. are convinced they will bo rauch approved
of by the public.
