The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who,
notwithstanding the penalties to which those
imployro
them are subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
:re continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced in
?7 a larße portion of the pablie, from a conviction of the utter ins-
.fe ssitility in innumerahle cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
eta machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
thelaw by avoiding all necessity for its infringersent, the ingo-
tst!ant effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This
a vectors consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
2;2l"as of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
• Mall or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
fartatln
g an even pressure en all leer sides of a chimney. The
Uy
.. spring r`.lB attached to this head or brash are supplied at intervals with
ersal
Joints, capable of taming even a right angle
andalaiss ..at whole is surrnonated with a doable revolving ball, having
universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty
.'"°: every angle, and iazo every corner, cleansing ite roate most
terfi'enY. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated
3' the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and
"Merous public offices, 'Odle the patronage bestowed by a large
trUtther of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con-
-8 t. the Patentees evidences their sense slits superiority, as well

Ithilanthropic views of the projectors. Detailed prespectases

STANZAS for the SERPENTINE.
When Winter comet chilling th;• air,
And nit subjects are all in a shiver,
What thousands arc seen to prepare
For a skate cn the !Serpentine river.
Then the Dress-mart of MOSES and SON,
Is furnished with Coats for the skaters,
Which garments at all times have Neu'
The title of being "first-raters."
When the river a twelvemonth ago
Was glazed by the clerk of the weather,
What a sight did the Serpentine show,
With its thousands assembled together.
The wrappers of MOSES were worn
Ity the gents on he hard-freezing waters,
While the furs were observed to adorn
Vast numbers of England's fair daughters.
And may we net view them again?
Ye., the river once more may be frozen ;
Skates amain may he called for, and then
Will the Warehouse of MOSES' be chosea.

At once let the public prepare,
For truly there is very good reaso• ;
Baste to MOSES' famed Warehouse, for there
Is tho choicest of dress for the season.
