ODE TO VANITY FAIR. 



[From the Boston Traveler.] 

 Come sing us a song of the Pipe— 



Of its struggles and triumphs and fears, 

 And confusion confounded to those 



Who say that it shortens our years. 

 They may prate of dear woman's smiles; 



But that with our theme won't compare; 

 To drive off a fit of the blues 



Try a pipe full of Vanity Fair. 



In war times, when rations were scant, 



And whisky with quinine was salted, 

 When many a soldier errant 



By the roadside his weary frame halted, 

 When the thought of his mother and home, 



His heart full ot grief and despair, 

 He solaced himself with his pipe 



And his ne'er failing Vanity Fair. 



Dread foe of the Hypos and blues- 

 Great poets thy praises have sung, 



And e'en from the lips of Carlyle 

 Has incense unceasingly swung. 



Firm f uend of the peasant and peer, 

 The charms are both varied and rare; 



Here's a God-speed to any old pipe 

 When loaded with Vanity Fair.

ROY IT Vanity Fair. 



■* w 1 * * it is shaved from the best Natu- 

 ral Leaf, for Meerschaum and Cigarettes. Does not 

 make the tongue sore. Sample on receipt of 20 

 cents. Highest award. Vienna, 1873. Send for cir- 

 cular. WM. S. RIM BALL & CO., 

 Pkerless Tobacco Works, Rochester, N. Y. 



From Seth Green, Supt. rV. Y. State Fisheries. 



I find Vanity Fair to be the best article of tobacco 

 adapted to the wants of the sportsmun. Have used 

 your tobaccos for many yea.s, and know them all to 

 be first class. 



For Sportsmen. 



A trusty friend, in weariness or trouble; a solid re- 

 source in Winter and rough weather, is a sweet pipe 

 with Vanity Frir. .best dealers have it. 



From A. B, Lamborton, Rochester. 



Having smoked your tobacco. Vanity Fair, by the 

 camp fire and by the hearth, I believe it in point of 

 faagrance and taste superior to all brands known to 

 me. Being in search of a tobacco that would not fire 

 the tongue and mouth, I was made acquainted with 

 your Vanity Fair, and found it to be the ne plus ultra 

 of natural leaf. 



HURST'S 



Does not make the tongue Sore. 



Smoke Vanity Fair.— It is a wonderful solace, 

 and the best proof that it works no injury is the re- 

 freshed feeling you awake with next morning, con- 

 scious that there is no reasonable task you could not 

 perform. 



For Meerschaums. 



It has a permanent existence; again and again does 

 it serve your turn, and still is ready for a fresh bout. 

 That pipe is always ready for its fill of Vanity Fair. 



For Cigarettes. 



A cigarette is an interlude to the serious habit; a 

 graceful, make-believe for spare hours. For cigar- 

 ettes Vanity Fair has no equal. Best dealers have It, 



Stereoscopic Studies 



-OF- 



Natural History 



FOR OBJECT TEACHING IIV SCHOOLS 



AND 



PARLOR ENTERTAINMENT. 



We are prepared to furnish the first sixty numbers of 

 the first series of 



Animals and Birds of North America. 



To these will be added a second series of foreign 

 specimens, and various Animals and Birds in gro- 

 tesque attitudes, never, however, violating their natu- 

 ral instincts. 



We offer these views not as pictures only, but as 

 studies from nature. One of the great moving ele- 

 ments in our modern system of education is object 

 teaching. The unerring fidelity of the stereoscope 

 transfers the animals and birds from their natural 

 habitat to the rooms of the student and the fireside of 

 our homes, where they cannot fail to have a lasting 

 impression of the form, color, habits, and locality of 

 each specimen. 



An experience of more than twenty-five years as 

 Taxidermist of the New York t'tate Cabinet of Natu- 

 ral History, and in gathering his large collection of 

 native and foreign specimens, enables Mr. Hurst to 

 combine in every view the locality of the specimen, 

 with its appropriate rocks, woods or water, and color- 

 ing from the originals.
