NOW is THE TIME.

NOW is THE TIME.
The Editor sat on hard bottom chair,
Trying to think of thought;
And he plunged all his fingers abou
through his hair.
But not one topic they brought.
| He had written of Temperance, Tariff
Free Trade,
And the prospects of making crop,
And joked about Browns ice cream ant
lemonade,
Till his readers had told him to stop.
Now weary of thinking, sleep came ts
his eyes.
And he pillowed his head on the desk,
When the thoughts, which awake, refus
ed to arise,
Came in crowds that were strong and
grotesque.
And as the ideas airily float,
He selects the best of the tribe,
And this little gem, while dreaming, he
wrote
Now is the time to subscribe"
