compli-hed by the use of the newly discovered SWEET OIL

sPirits of turpentine. taint mixed with it is free from smell, is im-
Proved in brilliancy of colour, and the baneful properties of the lead
being neutralized, does not emit those noxious exhalations which
have hitherto been so universally• as<ociated with painting. By this
really valuable discovery house painting is now converted into a sa-

being productive of health and comfort, without causing the slightest
derangement to the domestic economy.

A CHRISTMAS SKETCH.

I lave to notice, at a time like this,
The bustle of the great metropolis
A thousand indications meet the eye,
As glad December's holiday draws nigh.
A pleasing animation we may trace
In every part of every market-place.
Nor can we find a spot but what is rife
With animal and vegetable life.
In every branch of business we discern
A token of the holiday's return :
In poulterers' shops the birds of various feather
In goodly groups are hung and packed together ;
While butchers with their tempting fat supply
Give double boldness to their " What d'ye buy ?"
Grocers in "greens," and those in " green and black,"
Amid this stir are never found to lack.
The stationers, as Christmas-time draws nigh,
New books display, attra five to the eye;
And every railway station Is a scene,
Which proves that Christmas soon will intervene.
" What next," cry Messrs. MOSES, "will you thus
Conclude your sketch. without a word for US."
Nay, Messrs. MORES, don't imagine that !
'Tis you alone that I've been aiming at.
At such a time as this, I can't do less,
Than eulogise your matchless
CHRISTMAS DRESS.
MOSES and SON. believe me. ,
.when I say,
I highly value your superb display.
You seem determined, with your rare attire,
To pay due honour to the " good old sire."
Such Trousers. Coats, and Vests, I never saw
I cease to wonder at the crowds you draw.
Yours Is the. Warehouse, I am sure of that,
At which to buy a splendid
CHRISTMAS HAT.
MOSES and SON, I must conress I wonder,
Such Hats are sold at prices so much under.
Yon seem resolved that we shall never lope
In Christmas Hats, or
CHRISTMAS BOOTS AND SHOES.
My last new Wellingtons I bought of you,
And better Boots I never wish to view ;
Stylish, and firm in make, and soft to touch,
I must confess that I admire them much;
Nor do I, MOSES, feel the least demur,
In complimenting thus your
• PHRISTMAS FUR.
Well may the ladles to your Warehouse flock,
And make selections from your varied stock ;
.And well may judging buyers daily see
The value of your
CHRISTMAS HOSIERY.
I trust that Christmas, Eighteen Forty eight
Will make the number of your patrons great ;
For in the quality of your display,
And is: your moderate price. yeti seem to say—
" All may be well prepared for Christmas Day."
els MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
„n r low lists ef outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
iffier if required. The list can be had on application, or sent
E. MOSES e „ and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting-
t' Which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort
he it, E. M. and S. are convinced they will be much approved
the Public.
