#f#N nc PRINTER!
Who meets with dsappointments dire,
IN And fails TO get his fond desire
wv The cash his labor should obtain,
And finds his daily toll in vain2

2 With heightened phz and rueful look
Sl8N With CHASTITY grin and groans withal,
III Expendng much-and receips but small2

Z With plenty of work and little pay;
AS sure as eggs he S gone to pot
Let them that will, for will not.

The subject to the committee on unfinished
business. A workman in the gallery close

tort upon the ill-formed and badly made
0lator of Virginia, set the whole house in

is carried into many hundreds of families,
