And amid the winter storms,
When the heavy rains are falling
ON the shakes his hands have formed,
Many a tale of wild adventure

Introduces some old miner,
Or his comrades in the chase.
While their tricks and jests are passing,

BRUMMEL once met with a pompous old
French Marquis, and managed to put some
finely powdered sugar into his hair powder.
The poor Marquis made his appearance at
dinner powdered to perfection, but had
scarcely begun to eat when the flies began to
desert the wall and windows to settle upon
his head The weather was exceedingly hot,
and the flies of course numerous The Mar
quis relinquished his knife and fork to drive
off the enemy with his handkerchief, but
back the whole swarm came, more teasingly
than ever. Not wing was missing. Those
of the company who were not in the secret
could not help wondering at this phenome-
non. as the buzzing grew louder and louder
every moment. Matters grew still worse
when the sugar, melting. poured down the
Frenchmans brow and face in thick streams,
for his tormentors then changed their ground
of action, and having thus found a more
venerable part, nearly drove him mad with
their stings. Unable to bear it any longer,
he clasped his head with both bands, and
rushed out of the room in cloud of powder
followed by his perse sering tormentors and
the laughter of the company.
