He well knows how to push a pen

| He well knows how to push a pen
Or write comic ditty;
Why shouldn't he know that, when
He's from the journal of Jersey City?
2-"The college man and the newspaper,
or did he get it?''
Lawrence Society Mott.
He's jolly and fat and very good fellow,
But, oh, how he hates anything that is
yellow;
He's ne'er in deep water or financial dis
tress
For he telegraphs his baby, the Mail and
Express.
3-"From Philadelphia to New York, or
tarry thou till I come.''
William Hurrah Koons.
There may be other Koons who look alike
to US,
There may be other Wilhes who make an
awful fuss;
But this Rooms got a racket
Whereat we all must guess
That daily New York Herald and
| Philadelphia Press.
4-"The Ocean Boulevard, or was he
| pushed or did he fall?''
William Killem Devereux.
When the harvest days are over, Willie
dear,
And the summer skies are blue and
| bright and clear,
| Will you think sometimes of us
| And forget to kick and cuss
| And love US all like brothers, Willie dear?
| 5-"The scholar in the Legislature or the
| Trenton grill on aNwinters night
Charles Angelic Ransom.
If your head is overburdened with
| 1,ft II
And the weight of woe is turning gray
| your fiaxen hairs;
Just cast your cares on Charlie
And he'll rid you of the blues;
| And how he did it you may read in Jersey
City's News.
6-"The Governors message, or what
struck the Boardwalk at Atlantic City,.
James Pape Kerney.
| He used to rambe by the Delaware's
| shores
| And fill up several papers,
| But now he's away from the State House
| doors
| And cutting up different capers;
| For he's settled at Atlantic and takes the
pledge
| With the A. C. Press and our friend
Walter Edge.
| 7.-"Spring elections, or why is this as
| it should not We're"
/ Charles Juicy Allen.
| If you're looking for peaches that ripen
| on trees
And are kissed by the sun and stung by
| the bees;
If you're anxious to meet total sur
| priser.
| Call UP Mr. Allen, the Newark Advertiser.
| S-s'The strenuous life, or whittier goest
| thou."-Herman Beautiful Walker.
| He works all day, he works all night,
His eyelids never shun the light;
! Some saw he works while others muse
! And he gets his check from Newark's
! News.
s-"Come, tell me, pretty maiden, are
there any more at home like you, or
what did they do with the oyster bill.
| Charles Resplendent Bacon.
This is the man of great renown.
J who writes the news for spotless (?) town,
There are none sweeter here than he,
This all who know him will agree;
And some day, with the Guv' nor's per-
| mission,
| He'll be a member of the oyster commits
sion.
1O-"Mum, or the lament of those who

(Bon yoyage.)
| We'd like to listen to you all,
! But time will not permit;
| Some other day you here may call
| And on Browns lawn may sit;
| We hope your cerebellum's clear,
! And that you'll all be here next year.
After this the Deluge.

Stokes. Attorney General Grey, State
Treasurer Swain and General Sewell's

hitch in the turning process. The scribes
