CUTTING REMARKS
OS "THE CUT OF YOUR CLOTH."
The little word " cut," which I punningly use,
Will serve me to " cut" a new track fo Ames muse.
The " cut of your cloth," is a popular hre,
Which of course may be taken in different ways ;
But the plain acceptation en which I lay stress,
Appears to be simply the style of one's dress.
Now to " cut a g0..0d figure," one thing must be done,
I mean you must "cut" to E. MOSES and SON.
For the " cutting remark" has been oftentimes made,
That they " cut" a respectable Sigure in trade.
The " cutters" of MOSES, beyond any doubt,
In " cutting" out dresses " cut" rivalry out.
And so thick do the orders flock in every day,
That the " cutters" are constantly " cutting away."
The eyes of the public have never been shut
To the merit of MOSES in point of their " cut."
They suit the most difficult taste to a nick,
And you'll never have reasons for " cutting" your stick.
In quality, too, 'tis a candid admission,
That MOSES and SON have " cut" up competition.
And take it for granted there's no fear of saving,
Since the prices are " cut" to the very last shaving.
A trial will prove, as it ever has done,
These " cutting remarks" of E. MOSES and SON.
N.B.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre-
Sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique,
and the workmanship and materials are suck as to command univer-
sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo-
derate.

" ' Manhood.' A Medical Work.—To the gay and thought less we
trust this little work will serve as a beacon to warn them of the
danger attendant upon the too rash indulgence of their passions,
whilst to some it may serve as a monitor in the hour or tempta-
tion, and to the afflicted as a sure guide to health."--Chronicle.
" ' Manhood.' By J. L. Curtis, and Co.—Their long experience
and reputation in the treatment of these paint 1;1 diseases is the
patient's guarantee, and well deserves for the work its immense cir-
Oulation."—Era.

" Curtis on Manhood' should be in the hands •f youth and old
age. It is a medical publication, ably written. and developes the
treatment of a class of painful maladies which has too long been
the prey of the illiterate and the designing."— United Serrice
Gazette.

The Tarent, who beholds his beloved child Orlin away, and fast
approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nice-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
sumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
beets the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.
N.B. Users of consultation from Eleven till Two, aid Six to
