struck him that il would be fine joke on
the scandal loving people of Wheatwold,
to take it from tho packing case and ride
home with it in his buggy; in view Of the
public. We have seen the result.
The Squire is still unmarried, and bills
fair to remain thus; his widowed sister
having established herself mistress Of his

A PRINTER stood at his case one night,
IN his Office dark and dTear,
And HIS weary sight dim al the light
OF tho moldy lamp hung near;
The wintry winds were bowling without,
And the snow falling thick and fast,
But the Printer, trow, shook his locks OF snow,
And laughed at the shrieking blast;
He watched the hands OF the clock creep round,
Keeping time with Its snail-like tick,
As he gathered the type, with weary click,
In his old ruBt-eRten stick.
His hairs were white rs the falling snow.
And silenty, day by day,
He beheld them with grief like the autumn leaf
One by one, "passing away"
Time had cut with his ow, furrows deep his brow,
His cheek and thin,
And his long Roman noso could repose
Its head on bis grey-bearded chin;
And with fingers long, as the houIs stole on,
Keeping time with the clocks dull tick,
lie gathered the type, with weary click,
In his old rust-eGten stick.
For many long years. through joys and through tears
That old Printers ime-battered face,
So ghostly and lean, night and morn has been SEEM
Earnestly bent over his case.
In Il few more years Death will lock up hSyorm,
And put 1t TO press in the mold,
And stone 'er the spot where they lay him to rot
Will tell us his name, and how old;
And his comrades will light that old lamp by his case
And list 60 the clocks dull tick,
As they set up his death, with u solemn click,
In his old rust-eaten stick.
