Don't stop my paper, printer,
Don't strike my name off yet;
You know the times are stringent,
And a dollars hard to get;
But tug a little harder
Is what mean to do,
And scrape the dimes together,
Enough for me and you.
1 can't afford to drop it;
find il doesn't pay
To do without a paper,
However others may;
hate to ask my neighbors
To give theirs or loan;
They don't just say but mean it,
Why don't you have your own?
You can't tell how we miss il,
If it, by any fate,
Should happen not to reach us,
Or come a little late;
Then all is in hubbub,
And things go all awry,
And, printer, IL you're married,
You know the reason why.
The children want their stories,
And wife is anxious, too,
At first to glance IL over,
And then to read il through,
And I to read the leaders,
And con the book reviews,
And scan the Correspondence
And every scrap of news.
can not do without il,
II is no use TO try,
For other people take IL,
And printer, so must i;
L, too, must keep me posted
And know what's going on,
Or feel and be accounted
A foggy simpleton.
Then take IL kindly, printer,
If pay be somewhat slow,
For cash is not so plenty,
And wants not few you know,
But i must have my paper,
Cost what it may TO me,
I'd rather dock my sugar,
And do without my tea.
So, printer, don't you stop it,
Unless you want my frown,
For here's the years subscription,
And credit it right down,
And send the paper promptly
And regularly on,
And let il bring us weekly
Its welcome benson.

Having releaved his mind by this decision
relative to Margarets future. and his surplus
energy by the setting up and restoring 20 its
proper position the hot andiron, the doctor
resumed his paper. But only for a while,
since he presently threw it down and walked
to the window. The poor were in his mind
because Margaret was poor, and he could
not forget that, In his comfort. With the
eyes of the poor he looked out upon the COM

fire, where the neatly spent emDers still diff
fused genial glow, and stood watching, as
one coal after another turned to ashes. Al
most unconsciously he invested them with
human characteristic and experiences; now,
the steady glow of content and assured hap
piness; now, the overshadowing OF sorrow;
now, fash of fitful brlghtness-then ashes.
He looked at his watch; it was past mid
night.
