Some poor devil of an editor thus pic
lures the business life printer.

BY
Little by little the printer pays out his
money. A little for a press, a little for
type, little for paper, little for rollers,
little for ink, a little for help, a little for
rent, little for wood, a little for this and
a little for that; but continually little,
never stopping, constant drain. Little
by little printers bills accumulate. A
owes little for subscription; B owes lit
tie for advertising; G owes little, and d
owes little, on clear through the alphabet
and back, and through again and many
times over A neglects his bill, B. does
not settle his, c thinks his but trihe and
not needed, so on down the list. Little by
little the money goes out, and not even a
little comes in, until finally the poor
primers resources are all exhausted, and
down he goes into the gulf of despair,
while over his head floats his hundreds of
unpaid dues; but he grasps at them in
vain-they afford no help. Reader, do
you owe bill to the printer PAY IT.

What Song Shall it Be z

What shall it be? What song
Will win your fancy, dear,
And move your heart to sing
AS mine is move to hear?
Shall it be gay or sad
Bright as the linnet's strain,
Or full of unwashed tears,
That deaden life with pain?
l touch the keys and wait,
Watching those dreamy eyes,
That hide their thoughts, as stars
Are hid in bluest skies;
No future flash betrays,
There is no tell-tale CLEAN,
Help me, then, dear, to try
And read your waking dream.
Say, shall the song be ripe
With summers of the past,
With rosy blossoms shed,
With sunshine overcast?
Shall scenes and sounds that were
In PLEASANT memories strong,
And song give life again
The days when life was song?
Shall sadder fancies find
An echo in the tone,
Till we are moved to weep
Der sorrows not our own?
Or shall heroic deeds
Move us to fierce delight,
As when a clarion thrills
The pulses of the night?
Shall laughter bubbling rise,
Like streams that seaward go,
And, prodigal of life,
Wrestle to overflow?
Or meath a deeper spell,
Say, shall the music move,
Stirring the hearts of all
Shall it discourse of love?
All! dreamy eyes, that hide
Their secret thought so well,
A burning cheek reveals,
A silent lip can tell,
What need to ask the strain
That youth to youth will bring?
Love it has ever sung,
Love it will ever sing.

FREE TRAVEL BETWEEN RICHMOND AND

| -icross the HIatcr.-Thc citizens of Man
chester rallied in force ut the Market-place
on Tuesday night, drawn together by the
announcement that meeting would be
held for the purpose of obtaining the sense
of the people on the subject OF a Tree bridge,
and to devise some means oil relief from
the great Inconvenience to which the town
people are subjected since the loss OF
Mayo's bridge. -,
The meeting was called to order by w.
G. TAYLOR, Esq, on whose motion DR.. III.
r. Weisiger was called to the chair and Il.
H. Beazley, Esq, appointed secretary. Col.
F. G. Ruffin, chairman OF the committee
appointed by the trustees to prepare busl-
ness, explained the objects Of the meeting,
and presented preamble and resolutions,
which were adopted, approving the action
of the Board of Trustees in regard to free
bridge instructing the Trustees TO prepare
memorial for publication, setting forth the
necessity of a free bridge to the citizens of
Manchester, the city of Richmond, and the
county of Chesterfield.
| Also, that memorial be addressed to the
| Legislature asking further action on the bill
recently passed incorporating the Manches-
| ter Free-Bridge Company, which has never
been published in the list of laws, and for
the purpose of taking the sense of the Cen
eral Assembly on that law.
Colonel Rutfin proceeded in his usual lu-
cid style to support the resolutions, and ln-
| troduced great array of facts and figures
showing the amount annually paid by the
people Of Manchester as tribute to Mayo's
bridge, amounting to or approXimatlng
$4,000.
Capt. Clopton read letter from Gov.
! Walker, in reply to an invitation to be pre-
sent, reeretting his inability to attend, but

Three cheers were given for the Gov
ernor.
Addresses were delivered by Rev. f. j..
Boggs, Capt. Clopton, DR.. Childs, Messrs.
Clarke, Walker, Pulliam, and others.
We have never seen a larger meeting in

was taken. The people OF MANCHESTER seem
alive to the demands of the hour, and will
make an able effort to better their contli-
