While the children are scolded and pAshed
F. off to bed,
All dirty and ragged, and crying fortFead.
Many thousand young men in ourlaRa day
by day
Are putting cigaretts and dying aweN.
The filthy old snuff, fair ladies willsalp,
And spoil their sseat beauty by filing their
lip.
A very small babe, sitting on mother knee,
chewing tobacco, sad sight to se0.
The boys and the girls, just now iis their
prime,
Are learning to use it--they,ll BE- sorry
sometime.
A father once said, wilhhis eyes flIllof fears,
II cannot quit chewing ~ have tried for
years"
While the dying young man says hs sadly
regrets
That he ever did learn 10 smoke cigarettes.
A snuff-using motherl 0 what shpmel
Shall we call her mother? She'snotworih
that name,
For her babe is now lying in the cola grave
at rest,
From the poison of the snuff that islnursed
from her breast
o snuifers and buffers, ye slaves oftlle weed,
Is y ur path clear to heaven? Is ycpFhope
sure indeed?
Are you snufing and putting to Shsi glory
OF God?
Are you travelling the pathway ouif fSagior
once trod?
You'll confess that your angry, anf cross
and all wrong,
When you are craving a chew ara your
plug is all gone;
o where does your patience andfelitlon lie,
On plug of tobacco or hong il lhe sky
-y
Ye slaves of the weed heed the wotlis that
| say;
Lay down your tobacco, no longer hclay,
For Jesus is calling to you and to he,
Eli save you and cleanse you, and let you
go Free"
Now you'll surely confess that my lory is
true;
Then how can you continue to su|ke, dip
or chew?
Quit snufiing and pulling, be wise 29ermore
And seek FOR home on Canaaaj bright
shore.-Unknown. NY
