THE L ATE GALES.

Winter has lately roused himself,
As often he arouses,
And scattered brick-bats to the winds,
Stacks, chimney-pots, and houses.
The wind, to quote Tom Dibdin's words,
Has proved a blustering railer ;
Many on shore have proved it so,
And many a hapless sailor.
I pitied those with shivering forms,
And ruddy cheeks and noses,
Who had not raised the wind to buy,
An over-coat of Moses.

The coats of Moses, well designed,
And firmly put together,
Are just the very things to suit
Such boisterous windy weather.
Since, therefore, March is marching on,
When winds again will bluster,
March for a coat to Moses' Mart,
Where thousands daily muster.

'Tis clear we shall have winter yet,
And hence would I advise you,
Ts try the Winter over-coats,
Which Moses' Mart supplies you.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy And Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear ef apAying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MERT lute taken the highest
medical hononrs, as his diplomas testify, and the greet extent of his
practice far many years is a guarantee PO hie professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solelY to the treatmenttf these
diseases.
