Can't do Without Paper.
What! DO without paper! No,
I've tried it. to my SORROW
So to subscribe fnr ono I'll 30,
Nor wait until Tomorrow.
Should lovers drown or hnn, themselves,
Or cut any other foolish carcr,
never get to hear of il,
do not take the paper.
Why, there's my neighbor, old John Stout
He always hears the news,
And having news to talk about,
lie never gets the 'blues."
While Others yawn in ennui,
His mind is light as vapor!
The cause is plain t" half an cye,
lie always takes the paper
While ncighbor ::ont hears all the news,
And knows the current prize,
And always minds lis r's and N's.
BY taking good advice;
cannot tell the price Of calves,
OF poultry, cofc". tape, or
Any kind Of mcrchandsr
Because take no paper.
Though have stuIies whieI, require
Much time and mental labor,
Yet can spare n little time
As we'll as Stout, my ncighbor;
Though time is precious, use
longer midnight taper,
And thus take time to "rcad the ncws,''
Therefore, III take ihe rapcrc.
