2Traße Announcements. OUR NATIVE TALENT. BY A BAUBAEOnS POET Professor Augustus, in making his bow To his friends in and round about Blenheim, Has a large stock of goods be would have them to And is really quite anxious to sell ’em. [know. He has pipes of all sizes, in meerschaum and clay, And plenty of all sorts of ’bacco; So that you may sit down and puff sorrow away. And be into the clouds in a crack, oh ! He has splendid cigars for those who prefer In smoking to shew their discernment; And brooches and pins for neckties and shawls. Made expressly for ladies’ adornment. it puzzles my muse to describe all the toys, To be found in his mighty collection ; But this I can tell all the girls and the boys, He can suit every one to perfection. There’s wickets and bats, and all kinds of balls — “ Aunt Sally,” and “skittles,” and “ croquet.” Dolls ! whose fine ringlets must gracefully falls; Slates and pencils, and knives for the pocket. Here’s drums and trumpets, and fine tambourines; And models of old Noah’s Ark, sirs; Concertinas and flutes, fine toned violins, Little waggons, and dogs that will bark, sirs. But halt 1 let niy inspired quill Move to sablimer strains; While 1 proclaim Augustus’s skill, In 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 you feel in want of scents, Go, try his famous cream,— By purchasing that rich perfume, More sensible you’ll seem. Then should the pleasures of the cup, Unfit your head for wooing ; Just go as soon as you are up, And get a good shampooing. . *• Life’s path,” they say, “ is strewed with thorns.” This truth, how well some know, Who march in company with corns. On each 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.
