THE WAIL OF THE PRESS.
v A new reading viol from *' Hiawatha." i Should you ask us why this dunning, Why these sad complaints and murmurs, M ur m urs loud about delinquents Who have read this paper weekly, Read what they decline to pay for, ! Read with pleasure and with profit, \ Read of church affairs and prospects, ] Read of news both home and foreign. Read the essays and the poems, Full of wisdom aad instruction ; - hould you ask us why this dunning, We should answer, we should tell you, From the printer from the mailer, From the land old paper- maker, From the landlord, from the carrier, From the man who taxes letters With a stamp from Uncle Samuel — Uncle Sam the rowdies call him . From them all there comes a message, Message kind, but firmly spoken, w Please to pay us what you owe us." Wouixl you lift a burden from us? Would you drive a sceptre from us ? Would you taste a pleasant slumber? Would you have a quiet conscience? Would you read a paper paid for? Send us money — send us money, Send us money— send us money ; j Send the money that you owe us.
