STRANGE CONJUNCTION.

The Globe CHECK by jowl" with Mr. G. w Hop
kins In The Madisonian Of The 22d Of May, 1889,
an article was copied from the Abingdon Va States
man, In which, in ausion to The calls OF the Globe
upon Its party TO put Mr.. Hopkins down, the follow
ing language was used.
"Tne Globe had as well cease its interference in
tins election That journal has neither the confidence
nor respect o. The Administration party here. As
evidence OF this fact it may be mentioned, that Mr.
Hopkins, an all his addresses 10 The people, has openly
denounced the Globe Uenai, unprincipied and cor
rupL"
III is well known here, that large packages Of the
Globe containing sundry charges against MI Hopkins
have been into the several counties composing this
District, to be distributed among the people"
This was The language Of Wing paper in Mr.
Hopkins own district less than 10 months ago! Aud
the people supported Mr. Hopkins against The dicta-
ton Of The official organ, and elected him against
Loco-oco opposition. Now, Mr. Hopkins Is sup
ported by the Gobel This somerset is so extraord-
nary, that it will require little attention at our
hands hereafter.

RPoRAL TRIMS ADVICE TO THE PRINTED
Il pity the printer, said Uncle Toby;
He is poor devil, rejoincd /.
Toby, It's true, the printers life
Is one of toll, md care, and strife,
With many rub and hit;
To please us all, he surely tries.
But what with truth and what with lies,
He never makes it fit.
The printers life!--oh! hard it is,
Thus to endure the weekly quiz,
On efforts Of his pen;
The printer no one can forgive,
The printer cannot sin and live
He cannot please all men.
For all, he works, yet ten to one,
That in the end he pleases none,
And only makes it worse.
Whenever he thinks TO please, he finds
lie cannot suit the many minds,
But only getsa curse
The pretty maid with pouting lip,
Turns Ger the paper thence to sip
draught Of Hymen's place;
But all, the luckless printer then,
has filled the sheet TO please the men,
lie loses Anna grace!
AZ other times the party man,
With specs on nose, sits down to scan
The paper for its ire;
To search for bels, jeers and scofIs,
he finds none there, his specs are Off
The Weekly's in the FIRE!
With honest rim, frcelysay,
Were aprin of this day,
I'd write toplease myself
ia ne'er give upmy ground for aught,
Retract line, word, tho ght
orsll their palfry pelf!
by none's caprice would | be swaycd,
Their whims should never hurtm art,
I'D never swerye an inch.
Id mark me out line to take,
Nor follow in another's wake,
However hard the pinch.
Myself I'd please--I would not bend,
Corruption's courses to defend,
As modern printers seem;
An independent course Id plead,
And could | not in this succeed,
I'D freely kick the beam!
