TOM TYPO.
Tom Typo was a printers lad,

Tom Typo WAS printers lad,
Bound in the good old way;
And when he'd served his seven years
The dcrH was toray. .
So when the boss had paid him of,
To put himself to proef -
He swung his bundle-tOok his stick,
And left his masters roof.
He started in on odds and euds,
Pertaining 10 the trade;
For well he knew that much depends
On first impressions made.
Where duty called him he was found,
Still working in his place;
lie stood while setting up a job,
Which really was the case.
lie never swerved an inch from rules
To make his matter fat,
t'It slHotdli life's paragraphs. that fools
Night never scof fhercat.
In course of time his honest heart
Twined round muslin dress,
And as the wcarer was agreed
Their four lips went to press.
He married pretty Emma Gray,
With many haws and hens;
This little joke he used to say,
He'd like ten Thousand Ems.
Sweet Emma proved to honest Tom
A true aud faithful wife,
Aud freely was admitted to
The aG'lctum Of his life.
Times roller passed across life's bed,
But never linked Toms wealth;
His troubles bore a IouJls-Jead,
Still he composed-himsclf.
And 70 he kept his pages clear,
Aud grew to be type
OF all that manhood holds most dear,
When Tom with age was ripe.
AT last, when came the final rest,
without sigh or moan
He said: my friends, above MY breast
Place no imposing stone"
He made his last impression here,
While yet his heart was warm,
Just in tho nick closed his career,
And death locked up his form.
kPITAPH.
Here lies printer-many tear
fnsorrosing eyes shall swell,
For though he handled much Brerier,
His life was NonJareiL.
Copy his virtues in the land
Which gave him his birth;
When such editions are norkei oH,
We lose the salt of earth.

tleman knows to his sorrow. He Was
recently affl c,ed with o bad cold, aud TO
cure himself of it, resorted to the methrd
of bathing his feet in warm water. and
drinking tumLler full Of gin and mo
lasscs, prescribed by an aged and re-
spected friend Of the family. Having
got everything in order for carrying out
the prescription, he sat down by the
stove, his pedal extrenitics immersed in
warm water, tumbler Of smoking gin
and molasscs by his aide. In this con
diuon q sense of enjoyment stole over
him as he slipped the exhilirating liquid,
and he fell asleep. His wife had gone
to bed, and on awakening about three
o clock in the morning, wondered why
she was alone. Going down stairs, she
was Mortified to find her liege lord asleep
in the chair, the fire out, his feet i'm

His clerk reminded him Of ITS effects

he was not aware Of it, and wished the
clerk, the next time he did it, to give o

he was describing Simpsons tying the
