THE PALACE OF WINTER

All manner of imaginary things.

nAst subject
in
FANCYmei acyst fashion
Study to compose,
A splendid scene before my fancy rose:
'Twas Father Winter's Palace, built of ice,
its
the lYsatlelsp,
And I'll describe it, for it looked so nice.
Arose transparently to fancy's view ;
Struck with the sight which thus my dream supplied,
uplllpdodrletidco,
And oh, my heart (excuse the vulgar phrase),
On what a splendid picture did I gaze:
Chairs, sofas, tables, all were built of ice,
And, as I said before, they looked so nice.
The window-curtains hung in icy net-work,
And each pier-glass was framed with icy fret-work ;
The chandeliers and lustres, wrought with pains,
Dropped in bright icicles, like diamond chains.
The icy floor a snowy covering had,
The cushions ditto, and the sofa-pad.
It was a sight delightful to behold,
A sight superb—but oh, I felt so cold ;
For, as it happened, I forgotithe coat
Which Moses made me at their house of note.
This would have kept my font from feeling chilly ;
I can't imagine how I was so silly.
'Tweuld just have suited such a scene of ice,
And, like the palace, would have looked so nice.
I'll say no more-the subject rightly closes
With such a well-earned compliment for Moses.

KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES
A certain remedy for disorders of the Pulmonary Organs
in Difficulty of Breathing—in Redundancy of Phlegm—in Incipient
Consumption (of which Cough is the most positive Indication) they
are of unerring efficacy. In Asthma and in Winter Cough they have
never been known to fail. KEATING'S COUGH LOZENGES are
free from every deleterious ingredient ; they may, therefore, be
taken at all times by the most delicate female and by the youngest
child ; while the Public Speaker and the Professional Singer will
find them invaluable in allaying tke hoarseness and irritation inci
dental to vocal exertion, and consequently a powerful auxiliary in
the production of melodious enunciation.

[ADVERTISEMENT].—BOTANIC WATER AND BEARS'
GREASE.—When the hair is becoming thin, and falling
off; the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head,
is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alter
nately, the botanic water to cleanse the roots from scurf,
and as a stimulant, and the bears' grease as a nourisher.
If any further evidence was required of the virtues of
bears' grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr.
Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of
hair obtained by some of the North American Indians,
would be a aufficient answer.—Ross and Sons, 119 and
120, Bishopsgate-street, London, who first introduced
the use of bears' grease in this country, and who fat and
kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none
other but with their names and address printed on the
pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.
TRADE OF LEEDS.—A gradual amelioration has
been going on throughout the past year, both in our
woollen and worsted districts, and the latter has now
reached a point of great activity, and prices are highly
remunerating, notwithstanding the advance in wool has
been from 15 to 25 per cent., according to quality. In
cloths and other woollen fabrics we have bad an in-
creased demand for the home market, but we regret to
say our export trade continues in a, most unsatisf ictory
state, as will be seen from the following facts :—Piece3
per annum. The average export of woollen cloths of
all sorts for eight years, ending with 1836, wa,t 505,378;
for eight Sears, ending with 1844, 314.665; for the year
1848, 196,676. We are not, however, without hope that
this downward course may be arrested by a patent
finish, which we hare now in successful operation. In
turning our attention from the past to our prospects _ f
the future, we see every encouragement to hope that we
have entered upon a cycle of prosperous years f which
1849 was the commencement. Within ourselves we
have abundant evidence that in all human probability
such will be the case; and from what we have expe-
rienced in the past two years of the effect produced by
the political convulsions of our neighbours, it is evident
that nothing in this respect short of a general war can
seriously affect the commerce of this country. Perhaps
never at any former period have vse had with. n our
reach means so ample for the full development of our
commerce, for which new fields of enterprise are now
being opened to us by the abrogation of laws which in
times past have cramped our energies and driven capital
to other ootuatries.—Leeds Mercury.
