184 A GOOD THING. 
Paddy, light of heart and gay, 
Smoke thy dhudeen : short black clay. 
Sawney, on thy Hielen’ hill, 
Tak’ thy sneishin’; tak’ thy gill! 
+ Tourist, thou hast journey’d far; 
Rest, and light a mild cigar. 
Sailor, from the stormy seas, 
Take a quid, and take thine ease.. 
“ Soldier tired,” put off thy shako; 
Prepare to fire, and burn tobacco. 
. Workman, prize thine honest labor ; 
Burn thy weed, and love thy neighbor! 
Evil-doers, when ye burn 
The weed; think how soon ’twill be your turn, 
Artist, let thy “‘ coloring” be 
Of a pipe; thy ‘“‘ drawing,” free! 
Miser, moderate thy greed! 
Mend thy life, and take a weed. 
Lawyer, loose thy bitter gripe! 
Burn thy writ—to light a pipe. 
Statesman, harassed night and day, 
Blow a cloud; puff care away! 
Hardy tiller of the soil! 
Light a pipe; ‘twill lighten toil. 
Usurer, we surely know 
Thou wilt have thy guid pro quo. 
Merchant, smoke thy pipe; hang care! 
Draughts are always honored there. 
Gentle friend, whom troubles fret! 
Smoke a soothing cigarette. 
Preacher! take a pinch with me: 
Snuff is dust, and so are we.
