A DIALOGUE between ARCHY and DENNIS,
OVERHEARD 1N PARK LANE.

Archy— Good morning, Dennis, I hope you are well ?

Dennis—Good morning, my boi,pttity, I thank you.

Archy—You look tired, Dennis, llaye-ion been up all night ?
Dennis—wai,h I to tell the t nth, I have.

Archy—Working at one of Mr. Magee's skips, I suppose?

Dennis—Dial a "it I I cottldd't lay in bei fir bugs
Archy— Why, then go to Greer, for. he proposes
To clear our dwellings of bugs, rats, and mice ;
And if he does not, then he loses
All his lotion, and the lotion's price.
Dennis—That's mighty purty ; bat who's Greer ? Shure, I :liver
heer'd o'him then. . .

Archy—What ! Never heard of Mr. Robert Greer, the Great Anti-
Vermin Professor! You do a,tcnish me. Why, he's done more to
promote the domestic comfort of the working classes than any, other
dozen men in Liverpool. He will give you a lotion that wilt kill eve. y
bug, tlea,,and cockroach in your house.
Dennis-4s that thrue ? _ _

-es _
Archy Yee, I know it through experiencing the wonders- of his
preparations. You see, Dennis. our house was swarming with bugs.
They covered the walls, bed posts and bed clothes, as thick as the
locusts covered the land of Egypt, and as for rest at night it was o t
of the question, as it seems to be with you. They bit us, blistered us,
and crept over our faces with their sickly stanch, until at last we
resolved to leave the house altogether„as we could not got rid o hem.
Wel, one day I was relating my !ris'ries to Jim Brennan, when he
saps- "Why, Arehy Campbell, ge to Greer.
And your house, of bugs, he'll c- ear."
So after a few inquiries I took down his address, went to the Anti-Vermin
Office, 49, Brownlow-hill, and got abottle of Greer's Patent Anti-Bug
Lotion, which. to my astonishment, cleared the house almost instancy,
and I have not been troubled with theru since. Well, 1 was so pleased
with Mr. Greer's lotion that I afterwards called up nehim snd offered
him four times the value of the bottle, ut this he refused, saying his
only object was to remote the comfort of the working' classes. Grate-
ful ter his services, I never neglect sending all to him.that I_ know are
plagued with these vermin.
Dennis- An' cockroaches; did he c'ear your house of thim ?
Archy-lie did. I really believe we had millions in• the
house. They creptover everything-the bread, the meat, the butter,
fish, in fact anything eatable, got to the sugar and eat it, crept into
the jugs and eater mugs, and many an one have I Swallowed when'
getting a drink in the dark. They even destroyed, the linen, which at
first I could hardly believe, and so numerous were they that on entsr-
ing the kitchen late in the evening the floor was IlteraLy one back
mass. Drat the nasty things, I hate them. Weil, when I found I
had got so easily and cheaply rid of one pest, thin I, Mr. Greer is
the very man to apply to to destroy these waseefal things that
frighten Mrs. Campbell and the children into fits. Often a penny well
spent is a wound saved, is an old saying, aad believing it applied to
my case and, the cockroaches-
Off I went to Brownlow-hill,
Although the office was not near,

Well, he gave
me a
the shadow of a cockroach, and without there dying in their holes.•
This Mr. Greer, I thought to myself, is either a clever !allow or a
witch; but whether or not we are overrun with rats and mice, that
eat and destroy many a pound's worth in the year, so I will see if his
skill can clear the honks of rats and mice to. By the way, Dennis,
I should have said his- preparations are not dangerous to children,
dogs. or cats, being without poison, as certified by the celebrated
Chemist, Gr. Muspratt. When I got to Brownlow-hill the shop was
full, and Mr. Greer as busy as a bee amongst the flowers in summer.
Well, he smiled when he saw me again, as if he expected me rowing,
and after waiting a short time and telling my errand, he gave me a
Mixture, which cleared the house of rats and mica in a single night,
killing them before they could reach their holes, What he has done
for me I camel forget, nor praise too highly.
Dennis-Faith, vu go to his at wtua'st.
Arcby-Do so, Pewits, and you will find how much more comfort-
able your home wi I tie after. Good morning; taere's a friend of
mine crossing the streset. •
Wisepenny-Goo'a morning, Mr, Campbell; any news from China?
Eh? Nothing I You're smiling. What are you thinking about ?
• Arely- I'm thinking of Greer, he cleared my house
Of rats, mice, bugs, and cockroaches-
And bf all inventions now in use,
For vermin none near his aperoachea-
Fiisepenny-You are right, sir, right. Wonderful fellow, isn't he,
eh ? So he's done you a service? Well, so he has me. Greer'a
growing a popular man, sir, a popular man.
Archv -I am glad to hear it, for he, of all men, has claims to public
support. You have used his Anti-Vermin Mist;-re, then ?
Wisepenny -To be sure I have, Campbell, to be sure. But a story
reads best from t:.e beginning-don't it, eh/ Well, you see, the other
day, I happened to pick up the Telegraph-sometimes read, you see.
Well, reads-reads on-comes to " Ravages of ttats on board Ships and
lin Warehouses,' £104,000 lost to this port alone through the ravages
of rats on board ships. Thinks I, this is enormous-can't be trne-
