THE HERALD STAFF.

We are happy family we take you all
by storm,
We are the merry Herald staff you'll say
were not so warm
Our paper is the paper, we're strickly
up-to- date.
We're never out of form you know in
thic gay, happy State;
There's Tony, Guy, and Louie, with
Teddy Blanche, ha ha
We are happy family, we are, we are,
we are.
We are happy family, our foreman let
me tell,
Is always to the fore, man, for Tony
labors well
To run the Herald far ahead and scoop
its rivals too,
And put out clean sheet boys, with
everything that's new,
For Tony in his make up has splendid
form by gar,
We are happy family, we are, we are,
we are.
We are happy family, we have the
great nonsuch,
A working in our office, the nobby Little
Dutch.
He is of great printer the very anti
type
For all his dreams they end in smoke he
loves to hit the pipe;
But there he puffs the paper, he does it
near and far,
We are happy family, we are, we are,
we are.
We are happy family, when for the
girls they lie,
To cut three-cornered paper there's none
can beat our Guy,
He loves to guy girls, they cry Guy, oh !
off your guy you go,
When he got sick why something strong
you took, OIL don't we know,
You are lad of spirit. you study at the
bar,
We are happy family, we are, we are,
we are.
We are happy family as steady as we
look,
Now there's our hero Teddy, the girls say
he's book,
He looks like Fitz, when trouble comes,
his flag he then unfurls,
But there he's much too gallant to fight
the pretty girls,
He loves to throw the type about when
he is out for war,
We are happy family, we are, we are,
we are.
We are happy family, of course we
have queen,
We call her Blanche, she is our type OIL
merriment we mean,
For with her smiles, dull care it goes, 'tis|
really out of sight,
To see our Blanche get there always and
set the fellers right;
Then here's to Blanche and all the boys,
much happiness by far,
We are happy family, we are, we are,
we are. CHARLES HEMMING.
