UNFORTUNATE PEDESTRIAN.

Josh Wink, in Baltimore American.
oh, thou most sad, unfortunate of men.
Who hath no right to be observed by all
Upon the surface Of this sporty earth,
oh, thou pedestrians, l mourn with thee,
For art thou, like the traitor In the poem,
Unknown, unwept, unhonored and unsung.
The only notice taken that thou art
Indeed, a liver in this world of ours
OF thine existence, Is the loud complaint
Thou art allowed to clutter up the streets,
And louder still command hurled to get
out"
If there are strikes of carmen. then the
miles,
Tho weary miles which stretch 'twixt work
and thee.
Must thou hotfoot them, meath the glaring
sun
OF sizzling summer or the bitter frosts
OF freezing winter, as the case may be,
And ever must thou watchful waiting keep
For constant peril Of the speed machine.
Which knocks thee down upon the least
pretence.
Hurls maledictions on thy shattered bones.
And thinks 1t merciful to spare thy skull.
Thou art naught but cumberer OF ths
And though both in the coming and the
going, thou
Dost catch It, still the comfort thou dost
get
Is mere remark thrown that it serve thee
right
times,
And labor troubles and contested streets,
Art sadly out of Joint. Poor Shank's mare
Is hopelessly outclassed and hath no chance
In any walk of life Walk! Heaven save the
mark!
