8 THE DEVIL TO PAY.
BY LYON LEROY.


MY son you must pay for your shining,
And II your account has begun,
1t is well you should know at beginning
Just where you must pay for your fun
Though You are an expert al 4 scholar.
No system, that you can invent,
Can swindle him out of dollar
He collects to the uttermost cent.
For he knows the mold you were made In
And appoints his own settlement day;
When out Of the stock that you trade in,
There will be the devil 10 pay.
Don't fool yourself ever by thinking
You can catch him aught else but awake
Though seeming asleep he is winking
AT any false entry you make.
No matter how sly your proceeding
He jots 1t all down in his book,
And grins with delight at the reading
AS he knows you are safe on his hook
In measure or weight if you lack it,
Don't think you can cover the dearth;
For he always is "on to your racket"
And charges you all it Is worth.
He cares not for written debentures,
But holds by pitiless law,
So. If you indulge in rash ventures,
Will find yourself under his paw.
Oh! he is the clerk of all ages,
Expert from the earliest day,
And after you balance your pages,
There will be the devil to payt
You may think Of endowing college
With substance yourself does not need
Well, do SO, my son, with the knowledge
That Satan won't credit the deed.
No; charities won't make you level
No matter how large the amount
Can't balance your deal with the devil
That goes to another account
Tho the loudest has been your profession
And longest the prayers you have made,
Remember that every transgression
Is debt that has got to be paid;
And resolve, as you may, on relenting
Your follies and vices when gray,
Though an ocean you weep in repenting
There will be the devil to pay.
Then, at last, when you are debtor
On his book for each gratifed whim--
Each whim but link in the fetter
That bound you still closer to him
For all the preaching since Moses.
Not a jot of his claim win he stay;
Even after the clearing house closes
There will be the devil to pay.

Capt. +. W DaecSon,
Ny DEAR SIR: desire, through you,
to express the sincere thanks of Mrs.
Cleveland and myself for the magnif-
icent wedding gift which the bride
has received from citizens Of Charles
ton. I have asked the privilege Of
thus communicating our joint &c
knowledgement of this present, be-
cause the delicate and thoughtful at
tention of my wife has naturally Civ
en- rise to grateful emotions, and be-
cause it affords me an opportunity to
express my appreciation of the kind
words with which the donors refer to
myself and my performance of public
duty.
You and your associates who have
united in the letter accompanying
your gift can hardly realize the COM
fort I derive from the assurances,
therein contained, of confidence and
esteem.
The letter and the gift take their
places in my new household, and for
all time will serve for reminders, not
only of the happiest incident of my
life as citizen, but of the further fact
that in my official character the hum
bic efforts I have made to assure good
government to the people and COM
plete reconciliation between all sect
ions of the land are considerably and
pleasantly recognized by my fellow
countrymen.
Yours, very sincerely,
