THE PENALTY OF sNUFFING.

THE PENALTY OF SNUFFING.
Little Mlllle Tllle Dufing
Had the dreadful trick of snuflng.
To convert her OF this habit,
First had tried dear Aunty Babbltt
Grandma CRANKY, uncles, cousins;
Then kind neIghbors by the dozens.
Still Miss Mile TillIe Dufling
Kept on snufing-s -snuning-snufnng,
Milly's nose-Ahl more's the pity
Was at first so pink and pretty
That not even Uncle Hewlett
Had the heart to pluck or pull IT.
Such charming pug-so dainty!
Such tweeny, tiny, twalntyl
Oh but Mllly Tilly DutIlng
Spoiled It snuffing-sn -snuffing-snufing.
Doctor William Pitt Mckenzie
Said she'd got an Influenza
Gave her squills-how very shocking
Bound her throat up with stocklngl
soused her feet In burning water
Adding more yet hotter-hotterl
Still Miss Mnly Tnly Dufing
Kept on nuffing-snuffing-snuf
Little Mllly Tllly DufHng,
During grace sat snufling--snufIlng
(Shameful trulyD; close beside her
Purbllnd Carl sat; who, to chlde her,
With his spoon tapped sohly-very
Her twin lips so like q cherry.
Still Miss Milly Tllly Dufing
Kept on snufIing- snufing.
Dreadful sequel must tell III
Such an uprOar What would quell I'll
ShRme' that cook should be so daring
With the loke she'd been preparing;
In the spoon for Carl's clam-chow6sr
She had put cayenne in powder,
And Miss Mllly Tllly Dufiing
Kept on notwithstanding.
Purbllnd Carl quite crazed with terror
Thinking 1t was all his error
In his haste to stay the sneezlng,
Had recourse to rigid squeezing;
And the soeeze (for why eschew lt2)
Split the nose In passing through 1t.
Thus Miss Mllly Tllly Dutiing
Paid the penalty Of snufing,

Yet she dives boldly out In the teeth of the breeze
Now her bows to the breakers she steadily turns
ohOw brightly the light of her pinnacle burns
Not signal from Saturn this rover has given,
No salute for our Venus the flag star of heaven
Not rag or a ribbon adornlng her spars
She has sauclly sailed by the red planet Mars
She has doubled triumphant the cape OF the sun,
And the sentinel stars without firing gum

Avast there ye lubbers leave the rudder alone
IT'S craft In commission the Admlrals own;
And she sails with sealed orders unopened as yet,
Though her anchors she weighed before Luclfer set
All she sails by chart no draughtsman can make,
Where each cloud that can trail, each wave that can
break;
Where each planet is cruising each star Is at rest
With Its anchor ''let co. in the blue of the blest;
Where the sparklng aotllla, the asteroids lie
Where the scarf OF the morning Is flung on the sky
Where the breath OF the sparrow is storming the air
On the chart that she bears, you will find them all

Let her pass on In peace, to the port whence she
came,
With her trackngs OF FIRE, and her streamers of
