A TOPPER BIT.


A topper, who'd been drunk all night,
Awaked one morning just at light
And though it was a pleasing morn,
He needs must have his usual "horn,"
To clear away the clouded skies, u ~
Which lay before his droopy eyes,
And give his yawning stomach ease'
Which was beginning him to tease.
And to accomplish this design,
Aequickly did way define;
Away which he had tried before,
Perhaps a thousand times or more;
That was 10 stop directly in
A bar, and get drink Of gin,
OF brandy, wbiskey, rum or wine, -
Or any liquid in that line.
So off he started in pace, ,su~gx y--
With trembling limbs and bloated face,
To try the sorereign remedy .9.e :; a:-s@
Wiiichoft had checked his misery -
But had not travelled far before,
He stepped into little Store, =,
Which was the very place that he,
Had sought with such anxiety ' ~
But ,herehe did not ,arry long,
Before he uttered forth the song,
Of "sit me out some bilters quick.
For lam at my stomach sick"
The keeper of,he store turned round,
And handed him bottle down.
From which, without single stop, -,
He filled tumbler TO tho top. :.
He then around il did enclose. :.
His hand, and raised il TO his nose;
But paused while to take smell,
And said, Il hope you'll make me well. !"
And then, with mos, horrid frown,
He swaowed.ail the contents down; -
But scarcely gave his mouth "smack,"
Before they all came rolling back.
He tried it Ger, and DER again,
But all his efforts were in vain, -
For he was now so very SICK.
He could, by no means, make it "slicki"
But every time he belched it nj,
He caught il all back in the cup. go.
And SAT it down quite III despair, :
And took seat upon chair.
A brother topper then stepped in,
And with sly and pleasing grn,
He eyed the glass then setting full.
At which he longed to get "pull."
Accordingly he raised itup,
And emptied down his throa, the cup,
And then without "hem" or Cough"
He turned around and started off.
"Halloo halloo!" the former cried,
What DO you want |" the next xtreplied,
"Wly, if that drink" said he "l,as stuck
! mus, exclam for you, good luck"
land why do you wish luck to me ~
Replied the second, angrily,
"Oh, nothing, only before
