THE PATRONS ADDRESS TO THE
ELLSWORTH AMERICAN,


ELLSWORTH AMERICAN,
.ply to the "Carier's Address" for the
ear.
Your paper now has Come
To greet us all as one;
"With joyful hearts and words sincere,
To wish us all happy year."
Yes, Carrier, here you are
And not too soon, be sure,
We hope you'll ne'er refuse
To bring us all the news,
From week to week, right on,
As hitherto you've come.
Be punctual on the spot,
And here your paper drop
Right down beside the door,
Or leave it on the foor;-
We care not where you leave it,
So we can only read it.
Then hasten back my boy
In this your good employ,
And send away by mail
(Be sure and never fail;)
And send to each his due,
And SO be good and true.
Go tell frierd Sawyer so,~-
We think he's good and true;
We thank him and admire
His firmness, zeal and fire,
And hope he still will strive
The cause of truth to serve.
If so, his weekly sheet,
As it goes forth to greet
His patrons all around,-
tAnd may they much abound,)
Will make them very glad
Unless it makes them mad;
For some will always scold
When truth is plainly told;
They do not choose the light,
But shun it with dislike,
And treat it oft with spite:
Lee. They Lore their errors we'll
And clench the iron spell
Of prejudice and spleen,
However gross and mean.
Well, ifthey will, they must
Still grovel in the dust,
And like the owl, retire
From sunlight and the fire,
And, like the bat and mole,
Live in some dingy hole.
But still, the sun will light,
Though owls can't bear the sight;
His rays will shine abroad,
Though bats and moles and frogs
May squeak and croak and stay
From light and heat and day.
So let the truth still shine;-
Yes, send it forth in time,
That all may see, who will,
The course they should fulfill.
