TIE WORKOUT FONT CT TYPE.

Pm sitting on my desk, George;
Before me on the floor,
There lies a worn-out font of type,
Full twenty thousand score.
And many months have passed, George,
Since they were bright and new; ?
And many are The tales the We tod
The false, The strange, the true. 5
Their beauty has all gone, George,
You scarcely now may trace
Upon the snowym medium
The likeness of their face.
They mind me of a man, George,
Whose morn of-life was fall
OF promise, but at evenings close
Was desolate and dull.
What tales of horror they have told,
Of tempest and of wreck, u
OF murder in the midnight hour,
Of war full manya "speck;"
OF ships-that lost away at sea-
Went down before the blast,
OF stiiled cries of agony,
As life's last moment passed.
OF earthquakes and Of suicides,
OF failing crops of cotton.
Of bank defaulters, broken banks,
AND banking system rotten;
OF boilers bursting, steamboats, snagged,
Ofriots, duels fought
OF robbers with their prey escaped;
Of thieves with booty caught.
OF flood, and fire, and accident,
These worn-out type have told;
And how the pestilence has swept
The youthful and the old;
Ofmarriages, of births, and deaths,
OF things to please and vex us;
Of one mans Jumping overheard,
Another gone to Texas.
They've .olfhow long, sweet summer day:
Have faded from our view;
Y How autumn's chilling winds have swept
The leaf-crowded forest through;
How winters reign hath come and gone
Dark reign of storm and strife
And how the smilisg spring hath warmed
The pale flowers back tolife.
