THE EDITORS SONG,
The editor sits at his table
Writing as well as he is able
Paragraphs, leader and puff.
His scissors beside him are lying,
Whilst he is in agony trying
OF copy to furnish enough!
Toll, toll, toll!
What a weary life is mine!
. Wasting the precious midnight oil
In leader, and column, and line.
working from morn till night.
Working from night till morn,
On! why was the steam press ever made,
Or why was the editor borne
Toll, toll, toll!
And whose is the gain when wopq
Whose are the trophies we achieve,
And for whom are the laurels woue
To stand in the foremost rank
OF each hard fought party fray
To share the toll and only TO get
Abuse and neglect 10. pay!
Toll, toll, TOLL
What a than. less task is ours!
10 bake the bread and to press the cheese
mat sepator Jones devours!
To- Sit on a three legged stool,
Whilst others have hair stuffed seats,
To prepare the hash and cook up the stew,
But never to taste the meats!
Toll, toll, toll!
Asthe constant drop on a stone,
So this ceaseless, endless work
Wears away body and bone!
Though the poet splutter and write,
Though the orator bully and brawl,
If 1t were not for the EDITORS pen
What were the use of it all?
Toll, toll, toll!
Christians, Mormons, and Jews:
Is there a man on this weary earth
But grows richer by reading the news1
Richer, richer, richef,
As they read it by sunlight and taper
And there isn't a soul of them all
But grudges to pay for bis paper!
Toll, foil, toll!
There's a row in the very next street! .
Somebody's going TO murder his wife,
And l must be off tout Snie.
Yesterday, just at this time.
Two policemen got choked in a riot;
And so it goes from morning till night,
And an editor never knows quiet.

UNCLE SANS FARM.

~o . S14S4A,
OF all the mighty nations
In the east Or in the west,
o this glorious Yankee nation
Is the greatest and the best.
We have room for all creation,
Ant our banner is unfurl'd;
Here's a gen'ral invitation
10 the people of the world.
Then come along, come along, make no DELAY,
Oome from ev'ry nation, come from ev'ry way.
Dur lands, they are broad enough, don't be alarm'd,
OF Uncle Sam IS rich enough to give US all a farm.
st. Lawrence marks our Northern line
AS fast her waters flow,
Way down to Mexico.
From the great Atlantic Ocean,
Where the sun begins to dawn,
Leap across the Rocky Mountains
Far away to Oregon.
Then come along, &c.
While the South shall raise the Cotton,
And the West the Corn and Pork,
New England Manufactures
Shall do the finer work:
For the deep and flowing waterfalls
That course along our hills
Are just the thing for washing sheen
And driving Cotton Mills.
Then come along, &c.
Our fathers gave US liberty,
But little did they dream
The grand results that pour along
This mighty age of Steam:
For our mountains, lakes and rivers
Are all a blaze Of fire,
And we send our news by lightning, !
On the telegraphic wire.
Then come along, &c.
Yes! we're bound to beat the nation,
For our motto's go ahead" !
And We'll tell the foreign paupers
That our people are we'll fed;
For the nations must remember
That Uncle Sam is not a fool,
For the people do their voting,
And the children 60 to school.
Then come along, &c.
