An illustration from an 1865 issue of
Mrs. Grundy magazine. The caption reads:
One Puff, to mean: "Fellow-Citizens"—or "Hail Coumbia"
Two Puffs: "I am no speaker"—or, "Westward the star of empire takes its way."
Thee Puffs: "This is the proudest moment of my life"—or, "Long may it wave."
Four Puffs: "Good-Night."
