Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
yon will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
--the universal use of Grimstone's Eye snuff ! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar rot, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
Imes, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
caged of cure being preyed by the in'ormers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1625 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by 'terries, Esq., to
etr. William Grimstoue, bearing date Pith February, 1525. This was
?I‘ account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to b 3 stamped.

And now, for Moses' sake, I'll make a trial
To tell, verbatim, what was said by each.

To see this famous Smithfield Cattle Stow?"
" Tes, Sir (said I,
In my reply),
If all be well, I'm eerta,n to be there,
For I enjoy the sight at Pertman-square,
Not only for the oxen, sheep, and pigs,
On which Friend Punch delights to play his rigs,
lint for the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies,
Whose fashions are a proof what Moses' trade is."
" Exactly so (said Dyali), I and you
On such a subject have the self-same view.
1 never went, I do declare,
To see the prizes at the square,
Without admiring Moses' dresses there.
I certainly confess
(Said Mr. Dyall),
That such superior dress
Should cause us every one to make a trial."
"Just so (said I), I acquiesce
In all yon 'ay of Moses' dross.
The Paletets (and you I see have one),
Do credit to the Mart of M. and Son."
