"AGl be said 10 ! am ruined, and
the sensation is dissagrcoable
And my ruin is more painful 10 bear
because It is slow in pl ogress, even as
water doth gradually become hotter IN
The pot wherein tie lobster boileth, un-
I'll the crnstaccous creature shTieEeth
out his soul ia anguish
"Lol it is better TO BE ruined quickly
than to endure this slow torture.
Il viii give my money to the poor
man--even to the poorest, which is he
who printeth newspapers, and / viii
sAut my sAop, and wrap myself in sack
cloth Of desolation, and pass my days
in the perilous or broken banks, curs-
isng the hardness Of the times and rem
ding my garments
And the howling Of Rome shall be as
dulcet sounds Of dulgimers, and they
who blow the flutes, and instruments Of
music, compared to The din ! viii make
in the ears Of the wicked--eyen in the
ears Of the bank directors.
"And even as he said, so he did; for
he was not like other mems sons who
are foolish and know it not, atd they
viii do SO and so, performing that which
is contrary.
For the son Of men are tickle,
and he that is born Of a woman doth
spite his face by diminishing the nose
thereof
And 10 the printereyen he who
published newspapers was made glad
by the bounty of him who sold whole
sale and retail; and he did sound his
praises and print them moreover, and
did blow his trumpet Of fame respecting
that mans dealings from the rising Of
the sun even to the going down of the
same.
"And he-even the printer of papers
did magnify and enlarge upon the
stock of goods which the trader had in
store, and did publish the variety, and
The excellence, and the newness, and
the beauty, and the cheapeness thereof
till the people-yes, all of them, far and
near, were amazed
And they saids 10 this man has
gathered from the east and west costly
merchandise and wages of wonderous
value-eyen the workmanship of cuning
artifcers- and we knew it not
"Go to them. We will lay out our
silver and gold, and those things which
he doth publish shall be ours For
this mans merchandise is better than
the bank notes of those who promise
to pay, and therein lie, even the banks
Of deposit which beguile us Of our mon
ey and swindle us like sin.
"But the trader was still sad, and he
said: The money that these people give
for the goods in my store will give to
the printer and thus will ruin myself; ]
will do that which no man hath yet
done in my time, or before will make
the printer man, whom all men scorn
for his poverty rich, and ho shall be
clad in fine linen and rejoice.
"And the sons Of men shall meet him
in the market-place, and the sheriff
shall shun him, and the scoffers shall
take off their hats to him that was poor
"And he shall flash the dollars in tho
eyes of the foolish, and shall eat banl
notes and sandwiches.
Eyes, even shall he light his pipe witt
cotton money and cast his spittle on The
boards of other men.
For shall ruin myself, and he who
adyertises me shall enjoy my substance
"But, 10 the trading man, even hC
who sold merchandise, became rich anC
even as the unclean beast lieth down il
the mire, so stirred he not by reason 0
much greenbacks.
And the people focked to his store
from tue North, and from the South
and from the East and from the West
"And the printer rejoiced, and hi
"phat' did abound
"But the trader could not becom,
poor and his melancholy ceased, anC
the smiles Of happiness were upon Iii
face
and hischildren did become might,
in the land by reason Of the dollar
which many Of the people who read hi
advertisements had poured into tn,
traders money-bags.
