The Music Grinders.
BY OLIVER w. HOLMES.

There are three ways in which men take
Ones money from his purse,
And very hard ii is to tell
Which OF the three is worse
But oil OF them bad enough
To make body curse
You're riding out some pleasant day,
And counting up your gains
A fellow jumps from out bush
And takes your horses reins,
Another hints some words about
A bullet in your brains.
It's hard to meet such pressing friends
In such lonely spot
Its very hard to lose your cash,
But harder to be shot
And so you take your wallet out,
Though you would rather not.
Perhaps you're going out to dine,-
Some filthy creature begs,
You'll hear about the cannOn-ball
That carried off his pegs,
And says ii is a dreadful thing
For men to lose their legs
He tells you OF his starving wife,
His children to be fed
Poor, little, lovely innocents,
All clamorous tor bread
And so you kindly help to put
a bachelor TO bed
You're sitting on your window seat
Beneath cloudess moon;
Your hear a sound that seems to wear
The scmblance oi tune,
As II a broken tiic should strive
10 drown cracked bassoon.
And nearer, nearer still, the tide
Oh music seems to come,
There's something like human voice,
And something ike drum;
on SIT in speeches. agony,
Until your ear Is numb
Poor Home, sweet home should seem to be
very dismal place;
Your Aud acquaintance all at once
Is alterd in the face
Their discords sting through Burns and MOORE
Like hedgehogs drcssd in lace.
You think they are crusaders, sent
From some internal cline,
To pluck the eyes OF Sentiment,
And dock the tail OF Rhyme,
To crack the voice OF Melody
Aud break the legs OF Time.
But, bark the air again is still,
The music all is ground,
And silence, like poultcc, comes
To heal the blows OF sound
1t cannot bet is,--it is
A hat is going round.
No. Pay the dentist when he leaves
y fracture in your Jaw,
And pay the owner OF the bear,
That sunnd you with his paw,
And buy the lobster that has had
Your knucl>les in his claw
But, il you are portly man,
Put Oh your fercest tfown,
And talk about constable
To turn them out OF town;
Then close your sentence with an oath,
And shut the window down;
And if YOU are slender man,
Not big enough for that,
Or, II you cannot make speech,
Because you are n fat
Go very quietly and dr.

And oh preserve my brothers both
