Why these sad complaints and murmnrs
Murmurs loud about delinqueuts
Who have read the paper weekly,
Read what they had never paid Tor,
Read with pleasure and with profit.
Read OF church affairs and prospects,
Read Of news both home and foreign,
Read the essays and the poems.
Full OF wisdom and instruction;
Read the table OF the markets.
Carefully corrected weekly
Should you ask us why this dunninc.
We would answer, ne should tell YOU.

From the kind old paper. maker.
From the landlord, from the devil"
From the man who taxes letters

please to pay the bill you owe u.s."
Sad it is to hear such message
When our funds arc all exhausted;
When the last greenback has left us;
When the nickels all have vanished;
Gone to pay the paper-maker,
Gone to pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlord tribute.
Gone to pay the clerk and devil.
Gone to pay the faithful mailer.
Gone 10 pay old Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him
Gone to pay for beef and Bridget,
Gone to pay our faithful parson.
Sad it is to turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger.
Turn and soc what sums are due us.
Due for volumes long since ended.
Due for years OF pleasant reading,
Due for years Of anxious labor,
Due despite our patient waiting.
Due despite our constant dunninS.
Due III sums from three to twenty.
Would you lift burden from us?
Would you drive spectre from you?
Would you taste pleasant slumbsr?
Would you have n quiet conscience?
Would you read n paper paid for?

Send us money-send us money;
Send the money that YOU owe US.
