In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, Assurances may be effected at
low Rates without participation in the Profits; or at moderate Rates
with participation in one moiety of the Profits every seven years. At
each of the three Septennial divisions which this Company has made,
the Bonuses amounted to about 1 per cent, per annum on the sum
assured, or about 27 per cent. on the amount of premium received ;
I and the whole amount of Reversionary Bonus allotted by the Com-
pany, exceeded 530,0001.
LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro-
Vided such Policies shall have been erected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 501.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the 7th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
Which had been in force seven years at Christmas 1847, and the same

MY FIRST SUIT OF CLOTHES.

fly first suit of clothes, I remember them still,
,And the price that they cost, for rye atm got the bill.
If I recollect rightly, E. MOSES and SON,
At the time I refer to, had only begun.
And being but young, as of course you'll suppose,
My parents obtained me my first suit of clothes.

My mother, one day, with a smile that bewitched,
Kidd 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're heard of the dress their Establishment shows?
Let us start off at once for the first suit of clothes.

Bo away we all jogged, near to Aldgate churchgate,
Ind 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 capital one ;
And a suit that did credit to MOSES and SON.
Such, Indeed, was the case, though the price that was paid,
Was quite a new thing in the tailoring trade.
And the fact, OW I still buy of them, plaiily shows,
That they've net been remiss in my last suit of clother.

B. MOSES and SON invite especial at+ention to their Shooting-
coats, which possess a peculiar cat and style, adding much comfort
In the fit. E. M. and S. are convinced they will be much approved
of by the public.
