DUNNING.

CUNNING.
Should you ask US why this dunning,
Why these sad and plAintiye murmurs,
Murmurs loud about delinqucnts
Who have read the paper weekly,
Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read of State affairs aud prospects,
Read Of news both home and foreign,
Read the essays and the poems,
Full Of wisdom and instruction,
Read the tables of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly?
Should you ask us why this dunningr
We should answer, VIC should tell you;
From the printer, from the mailer,
From tho kind old paper maker,
From the landlord, from the carrier,
From the man who takes letters,
With stamp from Uncle Samuel
"uncle Sam" the rowdies call him:
From them all there comes a message,
Message kind and firmly spoken,
Please to pay US what you owe US.
Sad it Is to hear such message,
When our funds are all exhausted,
When the last bank note has left US,
When the gold coin all has vanished,
Gone to pay the paper-inaker,
Gone to pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone TO pay the nimble carrier,
Gone 10 pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay our Uncle Samuel
"Uncle SAM" the rowdies call him
Gone to pay for used up paper,
Ten and twenty hundred dOllarsl
Sad it is to turn the ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger,
Turn to see what sums are due US,
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years OF pleasant reading,
Due for years of toilsome labor,
Due despite our constant dunuing,
Due in sums from three to twenty.
Would you lift the burden from us
Would you drive a spectre from you Z
Would you taste a pleasant sum6er9
Would you have quiet conscience
Would you read paper PAID FoRl
Send us money-send us money,
Send us money-seRd ne ni0AeTi
SEND THE MONEY THAT you owe ISL
