HOW A PAPER IS MADE.

Pray, how is a paper made ? The question is easy to ask. But to answer it fully, my door. Wore rather a difficult tank ; And ye* in « ’bantering' way. As the whip-poor-will •dngs in tho glade, PH venture a hit of a lay. To toil how a paper is tnstie. An editor sits at In* dofdf, And ponders the things that appear To be o.laiming- tho thoughts of tho world— Tilings eolemn. and comic, and queer; And when he has a hit of a theme Ho judges it well to parade, He writes, and he writes, and ho writes— And that’s how a paper is made. Iloncrtors out in tiro town, In search of things rir.tt are now— Thu things that people have done, And the things they're intending to do— Go peering and prying about, For items of many a grade! He tramps, and he tramps, and he tramps And that's how a j»eper is made. And all that th >6> workers prepare, Of every conceivable stripe, Is sent to the printer, nn 1 ho Ih-oco doeth to stick it iu type. His lines all respecting hi* will. In slow moving columns parade lll* sticks, and ho sticks, ami hp sticks —- And that's lion- a paper is made. In short, when the typo is al! set, Ami errors clearcii up n;or.\ oy leas ’Tis " Inches! in a farm," i,r. tk,ev limy, And hurried away to the, press. Tho pr.-Aiuunn nrrnugw: siufct-s.
