The preacher works for the souls
OF men and generally gets his pay:
the merchant reaps his reward in pro-
fit from day to day; the banker sits in
his office chair with his bundle OF cash
to rent; the dealer OF grog stands be-
hind the bar and fills up the sehooners
high, and jingles the TIN that the bows
blow in for potions Of old rye: the
doctors and lawyers find work to 10
that brings in the har cold cash;
and the men that WELD the plane OF
spade find money to buy their hash;
but the editor has a thankless task. as
the busy months roll by, and he
knows no rest Of body and brain,
while he misses the chance to die.
His reward in this world never comes,
but over the silent sea. If justice
relgns. he is bound to have an elegant
jubilee
