"PAY THE PAINTER"
BY H. BRADY.

As honest men attend and hear
The serious fact, the times are dear
WhO owes a bill, It's just as clear,
As starlight In the winter;
That be should come without delay,
That's ifhe can that bill to pay;
And ere he puts bis away
"FOrk over" to the Printer.
The printers cheek Is seldom red,
The fine constructions Of bis head
Are working whilst you are in bed,
Your true and faithful "MentoA"
All day and night he wears his shoes,
And brains to furnish you with news,
But men Of conscience Ter refuse
To pay the telling Printer.
'Tis known, or ought TO be, by all,
His dues are seatter'd and theyhe small;
Which If not paid he's bound to fall
In debt, for fuel, bread, rent, or
Perhaps his paper-then to square
Up with his help,-a double care
Bows down his head, now is it fair
That you don't pay the PrinteIS
His wife, and little prattlers too,
Are now depending upon you,
And ifyou pay the score that's due
Necessity can't stint her.
But If you don t as gnaws the mole,
Twill through your conscience eat hole;
Aud brand the forehead thus NO soul
of him who cheats the Printer.
The cats will new between your feet;
The dogs will bite you on the street,
And every Urchin that you meet
viii roar with ''voice of stentor."
"Look to your pocketsl there he goesl
The chap that wears the printers clothes,
Aud vain-thO' everybody knows
The grub he guaw'd the Printer"
De simply just, and don't disgrace
Yourself but beg the "Lord of Grace
To thaw the harden'd icy "case"
That honesty may enter.
This done, man will with man act fair,
And all will have the "tin" to spare;
Then will tie Editorial chair

To one whose love hath longer dwclt,
More deeply fixed, more kcenly felt

Each guest up started at the word,
And laid hand upon his sword,
With fury flushing eye:
And Stanley saii: I'VE crave the name.
