THE OLD BOOKKEEPER.

By GEORGE COOPER.
He was an ancient b"okkeeper,
And he was tall and slim;
Tho his face was mild he rarely smii'd,
His clothes were dark and prim;
And everything about his desk
He kept exceeding trim.
He always hung his hat and coat
Upon the self-same hooks.
And laid his rulers. pen and ink
In their respective hooks.
And the only exercise he had
Was footing up his books.
Each day, upon the self-same hour,
he took his lofty seat,
And bent his body aud his mind
HIS labors TO complete;
And blots were neither on his fame
Nor on his ledger sheet
The music of his pen WAS heard
From morn till eventide;
Up columns vast his ewes were cast
Then down again with pride;
Quite pleased was he to see his work
Increased and multiplied.
The cash that DER his fingers came
Each day was something grand;
And yet no schemes To bear il Of
BY him was ever planned:
Although you saw with half an eve
That he wrote "sloping" hand.
He had no wife, he made no friends,
His JOYS and cares were few;
And his dearest hope from day TO day
Was to keep his balance true;
good world this, if every man
The latter thing would do.
He never sighed when little ills
His way OF life would cross;
And DER the errors of his youth
lie showed no vain remorse;
But set down all that came along
To profit 10 loss.
One day the creditor of all
Dropped in for his amount;
tie found the old man at his post
Tho low ran natures fount;
The books we're closed and he was borne
Up 10 his last account.

BY cleansing the stomach with Schenck's Mandrake
Pills. the Tonic restores the appetite, and food

Boston, and at his principal Office in Philadelphia,
every week. See daily papers of each place, or his
pamphlet on consumption, for his days for visitation.

PAY PoR YOUR PArRR.-TOo many are apt to
shink that it matters but little whether newspaper
is paid for promptly or not that it Is such small
sum, and il of but little consequence An exchange
makes thefollowins sensible remarks in relation To
the matter Ut speaks the sentiments Of the pres,
generally when it says:-"Unless the cash system
is exclusively adopted and rigidly observed, we
know of no business whose bills are so difficult to
collect This is not because the subscribers are un
willing to pay hut it is principally owing to neg
lect. Each one imagnes that because bis years in
dcbtedness amounts to so smalla sum the printer
cannot be much in want of it. without for mo-
ment thinking that the fruits of his entire business
are made up of exactly such little SUMS and that the
aggregate of all subscriptions is by no means an in
considerable amount of money, and without which
,be publishers could not continue to issue thsil
