DRUNKENNESS CURED.

A planter in Southern State,
mo matter on what day or date)
Repeating oft the cheering drop,
Had almost burnt his heartstrings up.
One night he through his parlour door,
Could hear his kinchen in roar;
And having grati6ed his ear,
RESOLVED to see as well as hear;
So through the key hole sought to know
What pless'd his laughing negroes SO.
CufF, he beheld, with mighty glee,
In attitude OF mimicry
Exposing every look and motion,
Occasional by the poisonous potion /;
Indeed twas clear the tawny elf
Acted as MAssA did himself.
AT which the grinning company
Cried, "GlaSSa's SELF de berry ne"
The planter saw its proper force,
And grew a sober man of course
