When ] look round and ace mankipd
In their CRAZY RACE for gold,
This chickens fate Gomez TO my mind,
And how badly he Vas cold.
THE END.
Bot ALAS, POOR "NCo,"
like 90 many Of his brother craftsmen.
while kind and chsri,ably di-posed TO all
the res, Of his kind, vas unchsriisble and
unkina toward himself. Heaven he'd
builded up within him fair and shspely
temple, but his osn hands isid j, in ruins.
The aoven OF smishiiity, aocisbleue.s
and benevolence, that bIo~somed
in his hesrt, and should h,ve perfuoed
his life TO the portals Of the grave, we're
plucked from their hsiIowes! bid by the
sscriIIsiou. and defseing fingers OF vice,
and the fair garden Of his soul uss surren-
dered 20 the nox,cv. weed- Of indulgence
and debzuchery. The life that had dawned
into manhood With such fair and sweet
promise Of usefulnes-. and an honored and
respected old age. wss laid worse than y asie
and bl.ckened and seered By the Tres oi an
unbridIed appetite which had becowe =
fearful disease
Poor Mug" haa paced from life 10
death, and to = mercifui judgment. II the
world 10 none the better for his having
lived in il. We hope that bis .sd example
may prove . TIRE from which those Of the
gentle craft, i" Who are iresdirg the path ibs,
10 him proved so disarsrons, nay pluck the
priceless spp:e of vi-dom- OF all The men
Who do people the world and apply the ar,.
which civiIis. mankind, none poaats, the
peculiar advantages acquired BY
THE SKILLED PRINTER;
his very calling 10 the foundation Of
all knowledge. All the learning that !.
cen,ered in university. college sud acsde-
my, 10 manipulated, shaped and Con-
strue,-d by HE hand. He gives to the child
the printed alphabet. - sell - to the stu.
dent the Greek tome. Without bis aid the
novelist. the poet, the historian. the legal
and religious commentator, would perish in
0snu~cript. The news, like the down oil
the thistle, would ~ into the air and
sink to the ground in . pent.uP cvrne'
Of email neighborhood, did hs not send ],
abroad through the world on the wing oil
the newspaper by his srt be shapes the
deatinies Of men and nations. builds up and
pulls down dynssiies. dictates the course oi
legislation in psrlisweu;s and congress
creates and di-olves parties and svsys, u
sole lord Of the Kingdom Of Mind, q
miehtier .cep're than ever Vas evayed BY
Cesar, Csr or Sultan. Ard, yet, how often
do We see him cAst aside ell the pride and
glory and power Of his high estate to become
like poor "Mug." who wss not the firs, and
will m, he the is-t--s victim cf di.eaaed
appetite.
Poor, poor "Muy" He has gone with
all bic virtuee and all his faults upon biz
head. Let ~ hope that the former will
greatly overbslsnce and cancel the latter ia
the Great Book Of the Judgment, and that
in the grave he has found the peace and
rest end comfort that he 20 richly desesveu
for bic many good qualities Of head and
, heart.
