Only A Printers Dream

A printer sat in his Office chair, his
boots were patched and his coat
threadbare, and his face looked weary
aud worn with care. While sadly
thinking of business debt, OLD
Morpheus slowly around him crept,
and before he knew it he soundly SLEPT
and sleeping he dreamed that he was
dead, from trouble and toll his spirit
had fled, and not even a cowbell toll
ed for the peaceful rest of the cowhidt
soul. As wandered he among shades
that smoke and scorch in the lower
shades, he shortly observed an iron
door that swung on hinges ajar, but
the entrance was closed with rec
hot bar, and Satan himself was peep
ping out, waiting for travellers there
about, and thus the passing printer
spoke:
"Come in, my dear, it will cost you
nothing and never fear. This is the
place where cook the ones who new
er pay their subscription sums, fol
though in life they may escape, when
dead it is too late; / will show you the
place where melt them thin with
red hot chains and scraps of tin, and
also where | comb their heads with
broken glass and melted lead, and ii
of refreshments they only think,
there's boiling water for them tt
drink, redhot grindstonc to GRIND
their nose, and redhot rings to wear
on his toes, and if they mention they
don't like fire III sew up their mouth,
with red hot wire; and then, dear sir
you will see them squirm, while l rol
them over and cool and turn"
With these last words the printer
awoke, and thought it all a practica
joke, but still oft times so real did /,
seem, that he cannot believe it was
all dream, and often he thinks with
a chuckle and grin Of the fate of those
who save their tin and never pay the
printer.
