BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL

BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL
The times are sadly out of Joint,
! And so, perhaps this song;
! But still the cantO we will write,
In hopes to right the wrong.
The dictionaries of the day
Are filled with gross abuse,
Or else the people quite mistake
The phrases now in use.
| To wit, the phrase "A Gentleman"
we write the meaning plain
thing cOrpOreal strutting round
With neither heart nor brain;
Marked on the scale of quality
BY style of boots or hat
| The collars shining altitude
or tie of the craVat.
And then the phrase: "A Villain" WhO2
The merchant who has made
Shipwreck of his means and hopes
Upon the sea of trade.
! Though honor ever kept the helm
And prudence trimmed the sail,
The hidden reef has wrecked the bardue
Ih9t mocked the maddening gale.
villain! Who? the shipwTecked man.
BY seas and tempests tossed?
What care the shippers? Villain yes,
If their effects are lost.
Intention is worthless plea:
MistortuneS all are crimes:
The golden rule a stale idea
OmnipOtence-he dimes.
And then again. the phrase "A cheat"
The man who has not paid,
The bills he made for bread to eat
When on sick bed laid,
But he may pay when health again
His pallid brow shall crown;
lis but paupers plea for time.
A swndler write him down
Now hear defined "a Financier:"
A man of wealth and gain
Who swindles by no pebeian rule,
But by q coup de main.
Justice upon his jewelled shield,
Finds neither rent nor flaw:
A golden ladder takes him uD
Above the reach of law.
But then there is another phrase
Well understood by all;
.Its syllabled in magic words
The famed "Old Tower Hall"
And none its meaning may mistake
For everybody knows
II means the place, Of all the best
For men to buy their clothes.

we were called upon to chronicle the

Rhode Island, and now it becomes onr
duty to note the death of Secretary
OF the Treasury, Charles J. Folger.
Thus are the lights of the nation going
out one by one, and in quick success
SION. Mr.. Folger's ability as a sound
and honest statesman was above the
average. As State Senator, as Judge
OF the Court of Appeals, or as Secretary
OF the Treasury, he has proved himself
capable and honest, and no stain rests
on his escutcheon.

The wheat crop Of the world this

Foreign fields have been as fertile as
