THE BOYS and the BALLOT;
Or, A LESSON for the•LITTLE.
•I went to spendan evening, by desire,
With Alexander Harrison, Esquire.
When, pleasing to myself, as you'll suppose,
A most amusing incident arose.
Friend Harrison js one who well enjoys,
•
A little pleasure with his little boys.
• And so you'll think, on reading this suggestion,-
• Of Mr. H. upon thenight in question.
" Xi lads," said he, " 171 tell you what I'll do,
`• buy the clothes, and leave the choice to you.
• Let each one choose whose dress he'd like to wear,
And let's have Vote by Ballot—that's most fair ;
. You'll not consult together—each must choose
Atcording to his own unbiassed views.'
Write down your favourite shops—and after that,
I'll put the slips of paper in a hat ;
And then shall Ilfr.-TemPle"(meaning me)
Makerknown your choices, just as they may be."
The lads delighted, did as they were told,
And talf-a--dozen ballots were unrolled.
I took the papers, and on opening one,
• I found it written thus t—E. M. and.SON.
.Thelsecind•paper was the very same. _ •
" And Number Three bore also MOSES' name. • -
Atur, five, and six were likewise worded thus,
And hence the ballet was unanimous.
•' Now," said the father, " what the ballot shows, is
That all.of you have duly valued MOSES;And every one of you, as you desire,
Shall have a suit of MOSES'
YOUTH'S ATTIRE.
I hear, my lads, that MOSES' have on hand •
Astock of dress unequalled in the land.
We'll go to-morrow to the noted Mart;
Where juvenile attire is sold so smart;
And having ordered what you need in that,
• MOSES shall furnish each
- • A HANDSOME HAT.
f :PO own,-In which the ballot-slips were tossed
Ye high in quality, though low in cost;
And those, my boys, which I shall buy for you,
Will,look right well, and ample service do.
THE BOOTS. AND SHOES •
Which I shall purchase there
Are just the things for lads like you to wear.
I quite commend yonr choice, and your Mamma,
' Seems pleased to find what your selections are.
And by-the-bye, we must remember her,
By patronising MOSES'
STYLISH FUR.
• Por•l'suppose, my lads, your votes Iheltided
The articles to which I have alluded;
And, doubtless, you will all conclude with me,
.That MOSES sells '
•
UNRIVALLED HOSIERY. "
MOSES ant SON in this have long been noted,
And well you seemed to know it, when you voted.
I quite commend you for the ehoice you carry,
Jcm, Alexander, Tom, Ned, Bill, and Harry.
• And Mr. Temple I am sure won't fail,
To make your choice the subject for a tale."
E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
their low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
755., lower if required. The list can be had en application, or sent

One half the world are desolately single, and the other
suppos'az them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
uitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosiag harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
Cement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
aeglect woand more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS " On Single and Minrried Life, " pub. In 2 vols., le.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. al. each). Let no imaginatively
relined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hi:Wend
oy 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 ompyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
Rile publications claim your attention (same price is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be liapPy." They. are net 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
life,whe owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inenlcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—te live after nature's laws—Land to keep always
an the " sonny side of the way." The above works may be had of

OVE is the leading feeling of the human
breast. Mere exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its influence, or can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy,

with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after' a life-
time spent in thefulfilmeni, of every engagement, snap the very con-
tract7asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
ft is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
Instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
