tHE ECCENTRIC SNUFF-TAKER.
Should trade be dull and times go rough,
Oh, give me then a pinch of snuff ;
Give me my box a pinch to take,
E'en when I'm pleased for pleasure's sake.
when fortune's frowns disturb my mind,
And friends appear to grow unkind ;
Relief I seek within my box,
1%.„.Ty system is quite orthodox.
When a true friend perchance I meet,
I Cheerfully his person greet,
A hearty " How do you do ?" takes place,
lo ! my snuff-box shows its face
pulveriforous box supplies
A recipe for weakly eyes ;
That man must be a silly goose
'Who thoughtlessly condemns its use.
If my proboscis could but speak,
'Twould often say—the dose repeat ;
Each grateful sneeze and tittilatien
Excites a frequent iteration.
Then here's my glass in which I toast,
Success to that which I love most ;
Reader, I pray don't think me bluff—
Mark well the hint!—'tis GRIMSTONE'S Snuff.
