Farewell Subs.

An exchange bids farewell to its non-pay-
ing subscribers in the following strain:
"This week we strike out about seventy
names who will not pay their dues to the
printer. In doing them so we take them
by the hand, wife tears in our eyes, bid
them an affectionate farewell Good-by,
old subs Take care of yourselves. Some
times think of your paper which you have
had SO long for nothing. Sponge upon
other printers now for while. A change
of political diet will doubtless be good for
you. Poor old fellows.
eve are little sorry to turn you out
upon the dark night, without lamp, but
it must be so. Stride for the nearest neigh
boris light. He may let you in and feed
you for year or two, upon the strength of
your honorable promises to pay at the end
of that time. For ourself we have enough
of those curious pledges to supply our cab
met for the present. We have labeled
them carefully, and they are open to gen.
eral inspection. With many thanks to your
self-sacriiicing indulgence to us, and your
honest appreciation of the obligations
existing towards this office, we again and
finally say farewell forever"

The Poet and the Proof-Reader.


Ali here it is I'm famous now
An author and poet
1t really is in print Ye gods
How proud Z II be to show It'll
And gentle Annal What thrill
Will animate her breast,
To read these ardent lines and know
To whom they are addressed.
Why, bless my SOUL here's something
strange
What can the paper mean,
By talking of the graceful brooks
That gander O. er the green?
And here's t instead of T,
Which makes it tipping rill;
Well seek the shad, instead OF shade,
And hell, instead OF hill.
The look so-what? I recollect,
Twas sweet, and then twas kind,
And now to think, the stupid fool
For bland has printed blind?
Was ever such provoking work
IT'S curious, by-the-by,
How anything is rendered blind
By giving it an eye.
Hast thou no tears the It's left out,
Hast thou no ears, instead;
I hope that thou art dear, is put,
I hope that thou art dead.
Who ever saw in such a space
So many blunders crammed2
Those gentle eyes be damned!
The color of the rose, is nose;
Affection is affection;
wonder if the likeness holds
In fact as well as diction?
Thou art a friend-the is gone
Who ever would have deemed
That such a tcifing thing could change
A friend into a fend
Thou art the same, is rendered lame
1t really is too bad ?
And here because an j is out,
My lovely maid is mad
They drove her blind by poking in
An eye-a process new;
And now they We gouged it out again,
And made her crazy too.
Let's stop and recapitulate:
I've damned her eyes, that's plain
I've told her she's lunatic,
And blind and deaf, and lame.
Was ever such a horrid hash
In poetry or prose?
I've said she was a fend, and praised
The color of her nose!
I wish had that editor
About half a minute;
I'd bang him to my hearts content
And with an begin it
I'd jam his body, eyes and bones,
And spell it with d,
And send him to that hill of his
He SMELLS it with an e.
