THE PRINTERS TOLL.

Blow We stormy winds of winter,
Drive the chilly, drifting snow,
Closely housed the busy Printer,
Ieeds not how the winds may blow.
Click, click, his type are dropping,
Here and there into the case,
And he stands so briskly popping,
Every letter in its place.
Heaven send the useful Printer,
Every comfort mortals need
For our nights wore dull in winter,
Had VIC not the news to read.
Sad would be the worlds condition,
II no printer boy were found;
Ignorance and superstition,
Sin and suffering would abound.
Yes, 1t is the busy Printer
Rolls the car of knowledge on;
And a gloomy mental winter
Soon would reign if he were gone.
Money is useful, yet the minters
Till not half as high a place
As the busy, telling Printers,
lingering type before the case.
Yet while type they're busy setting,
OFT some thOughtless popinay,
Leaves the country, kindly letting
Printers "whistle for their pay"
Oh, ingratitude, ungracious
Is there no enlightened soil,
Men with minds so incapacious
AS to slight the Printers toll.
Sec him how extremely busy,
lingering type before the case,
Toiling till he's almost dizzy,
To exalt the human race.
Then, long live the art of Printing,
Here on happy freedoms soil,
And with the joys that know no stintlng,
Heaven reward the PRINTERS toll
