Ever round the prlnter's pathway,
Round the editorial chair
Early morn and dswy even,
Find them at their labor yet
Many times the IN idnight flicker,
Tells them they must not forget
That another day is coming,
They must work on just the same,
Labor, labor for their patrons
Labor though 1t be in vain.
You must have your paper always,
" hen the day or hour comes,
And they to ! and strive to suit you,
While you still withhold these sums.
Now, my friends, It's plain before you,
Duty tells you where to 90,
Seek the printer in his ofl,e,
Pay him every cent you owe.
He will thank you, truly kindly,
And in turn VIII pay his dues
Fer the printer Is but human,-
