they wish to enjoy themselves" on the cheap._)
If you'd really learn and practice Thrift
(As the frozen poor have needed lately)
Get the great Elizabethan gift
Of (_economically_) being "stately."
(Mr. STEAD that dower will explain.)
You must have a castle to begin with;
Then give a _Bal Poudré_. You will gain!
(Having nothing else to do your "tin" with.)
The true way to save is--spend your money
On a splendid pageant! Ain't it funny?
SALISBURY for HODGE advised a circus,
I a _Bal Poudré_ for every "Vorkuss"!
