And I fear that she herself,
By the little chubby elf.
Will be laid upon the shelf
Just as you.

TITLEPAGE DEDICATION.

"Let those smoke now who never smoked before,
And those who always smoked--now smoke the more."




ACROSTIC.

To thee, blest weed, whose sovereign wiles,
O'er cankered care bring radiant smiles,
Best gift of Love to mortals given!
At once the bud and bliss of Heaven!
Crownless are kings uncrowned by thee;
Content the serf in thy sweet liberty,
O charm of life! O foe to misery!

J.H.
