STiafle announcements. OUR NATIVE TALENT. BY A BARBAROUS POUT Processor in making: 1m bow To his friends in and round uh<mt Blenheim, lias a 1 .rge stork ot goods he would have them to And is really quite anxious to sell ’em. [know, Ho has pipes of all sizes, in meerschaum and clay. And plenty of all sorts of ’bac. 0 ; So that you may sit down and puff sorrow away. And be into the clouds in a crack, oh ! He has splendid cigars fop those who prefer In smoking to shew their discernment; Ami brooches and pins for neikties and shawls, Made expressly for ladies’ adornment. It puzzles my muse to describe all the toys. To lie found in his mighty collection ; But this I can tell all the girls and the boys. He cun suit every one to perfection. There’s wickets and bats, and all kinds of balls “ Aunt ftally,” and “ skittles.” and “ croquet.” Dolls ! whose tine ringlets most gracefully tails; Cdatt a and pencils, and knives t<»r the pocket. Here’s drums and trumpets, and fine tambourines; Ami models id old Noah’s Ark, sirs ; Concertinas and flutes, fine toned violins, Little waggons, and dogs that will bark, sirs. But halt! let my inspired qn II Move to snhlimer strains; While I proclaim Augustus’s skill, Jit soothing mortal pains. If through your veins love’s fire is whirling, And yon would win some lady fair; Just try the Professor’s hand at curling, 'Twill so improve your (h)air! Or if yon feel in want of scents. Go, try his tamous cream, — By purchasing that rich perfume. More sensible you’ll seem. Then should the pleasures of the cup, Unfit \our head for wooing; Just go as soon as you are up, And gel a good shampooing. ’• Lite’s path,’’’they say, “ is strewed with thorns.” This truth, how well some know, Who march in company with corns, On earh afflicted toe. Go. Pilgrims, with the unboiled peas, The Professor is your friend ; He’ll cut your corns, and give you ease, And all your sorrows end ! [ADVT.
