TIN TAG CIGARS.
An enterprising grocer ;in Wcstville, Oonnecticu f , comes out in force on behalf of his celebrated Tin Tag C'gars. In a modest circular gently urging their purchase ancl use, he says : —" The tobacco from which the Tin Tags are made is grown entirely in conservatories, and the cigars are made on mahogany tables by thorough-bred'Cubansin swallow-tail coats and white kid gloves. When a man smokes one of these cigars he walks on air, and dreams that he has a diamond scarf-pin and a sixty-five dollar suit of clothes on, nnd just married inch. It makes the breath sweet, and keeps the teeth white, and will force a moustache on the smoothest lip in five weeks. It improves and beautifies the complexion, eradicates tan, freckles, and dandruff, and is enjoyed by all the smoker's ' sisters, cousins, and aunts.' It permeates the house, windowcurtains, closets, and clothes with the delicate odours and exquisite fragrance of Heliotrope, New-mown Hay, Jockey Club, and White Rose. It will fasten the front gate every night, and carry in the paper in the morning, chaso the cats off the garden wall, drive the hens to water, and ' hardly ever' fail to make one feel better than ever. No well-regulated family can properly keep house without them, for the man who smokes his cigar will never cut wood too long for the stove, never swear when he puts up the stove-inipes, never step on a lady's trail, join a club or go down to the ' post office after supper.'"
