The Printer's Toll.
niow, ye stormy winds of winter,
Drive the chilly, drifting snow,
Closely boused, thebuy printer
Heeds not bow the winds may blow.
Click, click, his type go dropping,
Here and there upon his case,
As bo stands for hours popping
Every letter In Its place.
Heaven send the useful printer
Every comfort mortals need,
For our nights were dull In winter
Had we not the news to read.
Sad would bo the world's condition
If no printer boys were found ;
lgoorauce and superstition,
Slu aud suffering would abound.
Yea, It Is the busy printer
Rolls the car of knowledge on,
And a gloomy mental winter.
Soon would reign If be wire gone.
Monej's useful, yet the winters
Fill not half so blgb a place
As the busy, tolling printers,
Fingering type before the case.
Yet while the type they're busy setting.
Oft some thankless popinjay
Liaves the country, kindly letting
Prluteis whistle for their pay.
Oh I Ingratitude ungracious 1
Are there on enlightened soil
Men with taluds so Incapacious
As to slight the printer's toll !

It will be many years before either

cut, rather, into thu sides, ami previ
ous to their construction workmen
were not uufrciiueiitly drowned, On
tho hidus of thu stream of water there
aro pavements for walking, about three
and a half feet wide, laid with flag
stones. On theso tho workmen walk
and pull their boats and curry their

In tin; front aro fixed two handsome

easily and at a rapid trot, i ncro nro
two or inreo dozen ol tneso boats or

their rapid passage through theso mys

tho least curious of tho scenes ono pass

Wn tlio walls ol tlicso sowers aro

Tho water is not offensive to tho
