PRODUCTION OF OUR
EALL FASHIONS FOR l844-Being detained until
very late hour at my store on Frid.y night last bu-
sled with the preparations for the introduction of the Fall
and deeming ths also favorable occasion for noticing
any recurrence Of the singular freak Of my animated
Hats, described in two recent communications con-
cuded to make my abode there the night in question
Immediately the clock stmck one the muster whis-
tie sounded and the leap upon the counter of the
three leading Hats simultaneous The entertain
ment was opened by the Beaver in the following colo-
guy:
BEAvER-Comates and brethren in durance. At our
previous meetings upon these boards we have sung OF
life in the woods, ilds and streams of our loves and
labos there and of capture and Introduction here
let us enjoy the present wtchng hour while humans
sleep, in chanting subsequent transformation and
treatment Sister Otter, shall call you to hop on
that bandbox, and enlghten with little Of your cap
tive experience.
OTTER--I regret that CALI brother Beaver, and must,
in consequence Of in gambols here last
night, beg leave decline Nutas have more leg, and
are less easily falgned than they famed, for
their length of tongue; Therefore fork the call to
brother Nura, who is always ready and as happy at
chit-chat as at flip flap.
to describe the process of my meamophosis from
my pet to my present wonderful shape should prefer
relating the in which compound hat is brought
into existence, gathered by me- when was fastened
upon block in the plank-room, from the following
JoURNEYMEN's SONG.
LIST .Jour.-In MERCURY the Cony's dipd,
I'd Jour-Thrice the Musquash has been clip'd,
Sd Jour-Foreman cries, Ills tme It's time.
1st Jour.-Fish's hats are all the ton I;
10 satisfy his endless run,
Round about the cauldron go,
In the do wny substance throw. 4.
Fur from back of heetest hare
Boil beneath the bubbles there;
Checks Of old coat Beaver shy,
Otter peppered in the eye,
Spllung Lama throw among,
Nutria of elastic tongue.
AU.-Douhle, double; toll and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron babble.
I'd Jour-Eyeless Mole that under ground,
With his plOughsnout worms around
Breast of crying Shetland Seal
For Yankees club too slow Of heel;
Kann wild from Friesand shore,
Muskrat caught in figure four.
Cast them IN the seething pot,
Boil them in the Cruel hot.
AH-DOnble, dOlb"e toll and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron bubble;
Work them now with pins Of wood,
Then the felis are firm aud good;
Buff them oer wirh gum shellac,
That they be stiff and never crack.
Sd Jour.--For dye-stuff strong and DARK,
Extract lake of logwood bark,
A sprinkling of the rust of brass,
With green sulphurous copperas;
Add to these materials some
Topaz clear Arabic gum,
Round about the cauldron 60,
In, The strong ingredients throw;
Stir it with crooked stick,
Sometimes slow, and sometimes quick;
For dye of powerful trouble,
Make the hat. broth boil and bubble.
AH--Double double; toll and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble
Upon wheel suspend each hat
And turn it slowly in the vat.
To form and shape the felted furs
Send them TO the fnishers.
Counter Chorus Then hop, hop, hop,
All meet at the hatter's shops .#
Once with Possums, Minks and Coons,
We daily danc'd our rgadoons;
Tho srp'd and cip'd and color'd jet,
...,i Still can turn our somerset
Beauer--Tell us, Nutlia what occurs
To hats when at the fnishers;
Tell us of the trimming there,
Which is done by madens fair.
Nutria.-Hist By the itching Of my gums
Something Fishy this way comes;
Let appear What ever's near.
TWhistle, flip fap and er't
Strange! that a mere silent cape, which could no
ress, at this moment could have disturbed them with
Auspcion Of a listener. U. FISH,
