(For the DEMOCRAT.)
The sails we see on the ocean
Are as white as white can be:
But never one in the harbor
As white as the sails at sea.
And the clouds that crown the mountains
With purple and gold delight,
Turn to cold gray mist and vapor
Ere e' er We reach the height
Stately and far is the vessel
That comes not near our beach;
Stately and grand the mountain,
Whose height we never may reach.
0, distance, thou dear enchanter,
Still hold in thy magic veil
The glory Of far-off mountains,
The CLEAN of the far-oft sail!

You ought to pay up for your paper,
Come tii!s long ago have been due
And the p-iateTs ale htad'rs tie money
To help them ID putting it though,
You ought to pay up for your paper;
The news which it brings to your door
Is too costly to read on a credit
50 Marry fitren o'sr end o'or;
You ought to pay up for your paper,
Nor lag any longer behind;
When others don't pay YOU you grumble
And say that they treat YOU unkind
you ooght to pay up for your paper,
The printers can't llve OF the air,
And PROMISE is equally worthless
When the cupboard of yltuals is bare.
You ought to pay up for your paper.
In money, or bacon, of bread,
Or anything lSe that is needed,
If It's only hat for the head.
And then, when YOU put off this mortal,
you hope some kind word will be said
The printers Will GIVE half a column
That others may know you are dead
And then when you wing your way up
ward,
And knock at the Heavenly gate,
The answer will be from St. Peter,
Come, enter this glorious state.
