WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THE PAPERs'
G, B. WALTZ.

BY N. P. WILLIS.
Why don't you take the papers?
They are the life of my delight"
Except about election times,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe you cannot lose cent
Why should you be afraid
For cash thus lent is money sent
On interest tour told paid.
Go then and take the papers,
And pay to-day, nor pray delay,
And my word heard it is inferred,
You'll live till you are gray.
An old news monge. friend of mine,
While dying from the cough,
Desired to hear the latest news,
Whilehe was going of.
I took the paper, and read
of some new pills in force;
He bought a box-and is he dead
No hearty as horse.
knew a printers debtor once,
Racked with scorching fever,
Who swore to pay her bill next day,
If her disease would leave her.
Next morning she was at her work.
Divested of her pain,
But did forget o pay her debt
ILL taken down again.
Here JESSIE take these silver wheels,
Go pay the printer now 2
She spoke, she slept, and then aweke,
With health upon her brow.
I knew two men as much alike,
As e'er you saw two stu mps
And no phrenologist could lind,
A difference in their bumps,
One took the papers. and his life
Is happier than kings
His children all can read and write,
And talk of men and Things.
Tie other took no papers, and
While strolling through wood
A tree fell down upon his crown
And killed him-'werry geod.'
Had he been reading of the news
At home like neighbor Jim.
I'll bet a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers
Nor from the printers sneak,
Because you borrow of his boy,
A paper every week,
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bill when due,
Can I've al peace with God and man,
And with the PRINTER too

NEW PRoJEcr.-A project we hear is on foot to
establish colony or community of colored people on
the state or government lands north of the
Grand River, in this state. An agent from Xenia,
Ohio, has been out to look at the country and make
report to his brethren in that state. The purpose
is, as we understand it, to buy large tract equal to
one OF our organized countless and settle it exclusive
~ with the colored race. The think in this way
the Democracy, who profess to believe that call men
are born free and equal will be forced to give them
political and municipal rights and privileges. We

plain the project few evenings since. 1t did not
strike us as very feasible. 1t is, however, true,
that such scheme is on foot.-.4dr.
