Old Grimes is dead?that good old ma We ne'er shall see him more; But he has left a son who bears The name that old Grimes bore. He wears a coat of the latest cut, His hair is new and gay; He cannot bear to view distress, So he turns from It away. His pants are gaiters?fitting snug O'er patent leather shoes; His hair is by a barber curled He smokes cigars and chews. A chain of massive gold is borne Above his flashy vest;. His clothes are better every day Than were old Grime's best. In fashion's court he constant walks, Where he delight doth shed ; His hands are white and very soft, But softer is his head. He's six feet tall?no post more straight His teeth are pearly white ; In habits he is sometimes loose, And sometimes very tight. His manners are of sweetest grace, His voice of sweetest tone; His diamond pin's the very one That old Grimes used to own. His mustache adornB his face, His neck a scarf of blue; He sometimes goes to church for change And sleeps in Grimes' pew. He sports the fastest "cab" in town, Is always quick to bet; tie never Knows wnos rresiueni, But thinks "Old Tip's in yet." He has drank wines of every kind, And liquors cold and hot; . Young Grimes, in short, is just thatsor Of man?Old Grimes was not. CHARLESTON LETTER. Sight-Seeing- Celebrations?Fall7 Trade &c., &c.
