The. shades of night were falling fast, As through a Gisborne village passed A Youth who smolced, with air so grand. Tobacco with the famous brand, "ROYAL STANDARD.”* "Excuse me, Sir, donT think me rude, What do you smoke that smells so good”? A Wink stood in his bright blue eye, He raised his hat, and made reply, "ROYAL STANDARD.”* "O Stay!” the maiden said, "and rest Thy weary . headupon this breast; I love to hear,you laugh and joke, I love to smell you when .you smoko "ROYAL STANDARD.”*
