The recent tragic death of John

called to the mind of one to whom
he gave 1t, the following poem writ

The Devil.
CA Newspaper Idyl.)
Late one summers evening dreary,
/ was sitting, weak and weary,
Mating papers to subscribers be-
hind a year or more.
suddenly heard rustic,
Something S like a paper hustle,
Welded by man of muscle, just
outside the Office door,
" lis the foreman" low | NUT
tered, standing at the Office
door,
W Wanting money-nothing more"
cor perhaps 'tis some blue-stock-
Ing"
And before heard q knocking
Up | sprang, and quick unlocking,
open wide | flung the door
But | scarce maintained my level,
For before me stood the Devil,
With his tail crooked like a bevel,
trailing on the office floor;
Hanging on his arm and trailing
down behind him on the floor;
Twas the Devil-nothing more.
For moment l stood gazing
At tNe feet of this amazing
Sppctac'1 then raiSipp NV do1o5
eyes up from the floor,
l perceived his teeth were gnashing,
And his burning eyes were flashing,
And he frightened me by dnshing
his pitchfork against the
door
Frightened me by madly dashing
this against my office door;
Slightly scared me-nothing more.
SAY" he cried in tones Of thunder,
While | stood in silent wonder;
when your papers every Monday
are sent round from door to
door,
Do not some-tell me, / pray you
Who subscribe, refuse to pay you
Do not some of these delay you,
prizing not your wondrous
lore,
Having no appreciation for your
labors long and sore?
Tell me truly, | implore."
Quickly then before him kneeling
(I will own a slavish feeling),
Secret, sacred thoughts revealing,
all my griefs l did outpour-
Told him that, with all my saving,
| could scarce allay the craving
OF my stomach, unaccuStomed to
the Tanner-life / bore.
This l told him while before him
| was kneeling on the floor
Told the Devil this-and more.
"Rise!" said he, "dismiss your sor-
row;
Try TO live-beg, steal or borrow
Means to live until the morrow,
in which time shall be no
more.
Then shall all hell's fiercest fires
Burn eternally the liars,
Sisters, mothers, sons and sires,
who owe for year or more-
Scorch and bake and burn sub
scribers who add nothing to
your store.
I'll torment them evermore"
Now, forgetting how I'd smarted.
Up in gratitude | started,
But his lighness had departed, as
he entered--through the
door;
And the sunlight on me streaming
Proved to me that I'd been dream
ing;
But within my heart, Hope BEAM
ing, brcathcS: "They'll burn

itself into a nickel higher affair under
