THE WAIL OF THE PRESS.
A NSW BEADING FKOU " HIAWATHA." Should you ask us why this dunning, Why these sad complaints and murmurs, Murmurs loud about delinquents Who have read this paper weekly, , Read what they decline to pay for, Bead with pleasure and with profit, rßead of church affairs and prospects. Bead of news both home and foreign, Bead the essays and the poems, Full of wisdom and instruction ; Should you ask us why this dunning, We should answer, we should tell you; From the printer, from the mailer, From the kind old paper 'maker, From the landlord, from the carrier, From the man who taxes letters ° "With a stamp from Uncle Sanmet— Uncle-Sam the rowdies call him ; from them all there comes a message Message kind but firmly spoken, ' ' Please to pay us what you owe us." Would you lift a burden from us ? Would you drive a spectre from us ? Would you taste a pleasant slumber ? Would yon have a quiet' conscience ? Wonld you read a paj>er paid for ! Send us money — send us money. Send us money — send us money ;, Send the money that you owe vs. — Syracuse CB.Y.) Typo.
