A NEW KEADIKO FROM “ HIAWATHA. Should you ask us why this dunning, Why these sad complaints and murmurs, Murmurs loud about delinquents Who hare read this paper weekly, Head what they decline to pay for, Bead with pleasure and with profit, Bead of church affairs and prospects. Bead of news both home and foreign, Stead the essays and the poems, ° Bull of wisdom and instruction ; Should you ask us why this dunning, W-c should answer, we should tell you ; From the printer, from the rmiler. From the kind old paper maker. From the landlord, from the carrier. From the man who taxes let ters With a stamp from Undo Samuel— Uncle Sam the rowdies can him ; Front them ait tnerc cutties a message. Message kind but firmly spoken, “ Please to pay ua what you owe us.’' \\ ouki you hft a burden from us ? \Would you drive a spectre from us ? Wmuld you taste a pleasant slumber P Would you have a quiet conscience ? Would you read a paper paid for?
