MOSES AND THE MUSES.
A TALE.
The muses, good reader, (unless I am wrong),
Have ever been view'd as the handmaids of song.
These maids (nine in number) so fiction relates
Are able to govern poetical pates.
And thoroughly knowing what all kind of wit is,
To help a poor poet in writing his ditties.
And now for my story—a singular one—
These nymphs were invited by MOSES and SON,
Who wished to inform them, of what they must sing,
And to tell them of matters concerning the spring.
" We thank you, (said MOSES,) for services past ;
Nor have we the slightest reflection to cast.
Much attention to MOSES and SON you've attracted,
And have faithfully told of the manner they've acted ;
In telling the world what our tailoring trade is,
You never have once over-rated it, ladies.
You have told what is true—you have spoken with reason,
And now let us come to the present spring season.
Please to take a walk round (said E. MOSES and SON)
And see for yourselves what a deal we have done.
Hero are waistcoats of newest design for the spring,
And trowsers and over-coats fit for a king.
Just notice (said MOSES) the dress coats and frock,
And the elegant hats, and the hosiery stock.
You've plenty to write on, especially so
When we say that the prices were never so low ;
Go, tell to the public what fashions attract,
And tell them how MOSES and SON mean to act."
Here the ladies all eurtscy'd, and promis'd to sing
With truth and with warmth of the stock for the spring.

M One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret on-
comprosiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact ;it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect woand more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little

each (by post, in stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
ay misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
.ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is, 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
llfe, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
an the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet•street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nalson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with personally,
