THE PHILOSOPHY OF SMOKING. 35 



GUIZOT. 



A LADY, one evening, calling on Guizot, 

 the historian of France, found him ab- 

 sorbed in his pipe. In astonishment she 

 exclaimed : " What ! you smoke and yet 

 have arrived at so great an age ! " " Ah, 

 madam," replied the venerable states- 

 man, " if I had not smoked I should have 

 been dead ten years ago." 



MY PIPE. 



WHEN love grows cool, thy fire still warms me ; 

 When friends are fled, thy presence charms me. 

 If thou art full, though purse be bare, 

 I smoke and cast away all care ! 



German Smoking Song.
