Then smoke, and swear, and think it is

o what shame, such youthful minds
to blight,
And send them reelng homeward late
at night!
This is an evil of so grave kind,
Tint all good people had serious

To put 1t down; so all their zeal en-

TO bounce on r, and then to pitch

All people love; and love we knows
Il passion;
So all will love, though just to be in
fashion.
This is the means, by which most in
this life
Possess and keep good and virtuous
wife.
Some love their money, others love to
please:
Some love contentment. many to take
ease.
With some good horses arc the chief
delight,
While others glory in their namo up
right.
Some worship dress, and all their means
To adorn their persons, and their skirts
extend.
Some like iine prose, while others still

All, all have loves; but they're Of
different kinds,
Suited perhaps to every sort Of minds.
But Of all loves the Heaven and Earth
between,
The love Of Alcohol must be the queen.
! lt loves its victims to SO great extent,
That dearest ties il hath .tssundcr rent
II loves to see young children begging

With naked feet all p'odding through
the snow;
And suffering households turned into
Such love as this, think, cannot be
beat,
Now rum, we know is like to rotten
shoddy,
It has no soul, although It has body |!
Ills good for nought, not even good Tor
straners;
And those that have the least arc great
est gamers.
This is an age of genius and invention
For bridges now are made with long
suspension
Mills are produced of every curious
kind,
Some being turned by hand, and some
by wind.
But watcr's cheapest, when one wants
to grind
All sorts of stun, by which he hopes to

Or peas? or beans? or an old mouldy

Who can find out when its reduced to

Some brighter genius from his hand

One more invention, you'll admit It's
greater
Than every otAcr.-'tis the "separa-

But this one does its work much more

This one, I'm sure, hath no wrought

And leave the ills for each one to in

drives.
Twill separate sister from brother,--
Sometimes viii drive q lady from her
lover.
Twill separate ono from his finest
clothes;
And then twill take the beauty from
ones nose.
Ihis everlasting sitter, this strong

body.
1t separates from pockets all their cash !;
Ii drives out hope, and then comes on
the crash.
When oil is gone, it then with full con-

AT last from body separates the soul.
Like some great wheel, at first revolv-

Apply more power and it will faster 90: :
Or like wave that's driven toward the

As on it moves it gains the greater
power
at first like gentle zephyrs soft and
low,
AT length like whirlwinds as they
fiercely blow;
And those who use it meet rs certain
doom,
AS doth the Arab by the dread Simoom.
