PRINTERS' ERRORS.

As a rule, in human folly There's none of us that's stinted, Which seems a contradiction **•., In tbe face of what took place. For a Borough Council to object To their sayings being, printed, Keeps back a lot of folly From th' existing human race. r And why, we want to know, , In the interest of the Borough, Let the sayings and the doings Of the Council foolish be, We, who believe and have t<"> think That all their acts are thorough, .. _ _. _ _ Are yet required to cogitate """ • >- What all those acts may be. It's laughable that those who may, Perhaps, go in for place, Sir, Should grudge their acts the light of dayj^ Nor care to meet one's face, Sir. It's hard when grammar, coimnon sense Of the weakest kind resorted to, Should in this civic court commence, And yet not be reported too. Let those whose words are apt to be Weighed well for good or ill, Sir, Think twice before they speak, ' Or let their tongue- be still, Sir. But if th' unruly member wjU Their folly chance to show, ▼ Cnn yon tell me any reason , Why a burgess shouldn't know. But if their folly is so great That the public may' not know it. • Don't" foil think there's something wrong* *heir going there to show; it ? \ BURGESS.
