POETICAL. —cite—— TEE PBUTTEE’S DEVIL. Ink-bespattered, Clothing tattered, With his broom in hand, Leaning, cleaning, Rubbing, scrubbing, Under every stand. Weath the cases, Type and spaces— Trampled where they fell— By this Pluto Doomed to go to Printer’s batter “hell.” Running hither, Darting thither, Tail of all the Staff, Out and in doors, Doing all chores, Bringing Telegraph. Runs for copy, Nor dare stop he For his paper hat; All the jonr’men, Save the foremen, Yelling for some “fat.” “Proves" the galleys; Then he sallies, On Satanic pinion From the news room To the sanctum— Part of his dominion. And the bosses— Often cross as Bears within their holes— Make the devil Find his level, Stirring up the coals. Washing roller, Bringing coal or Lugging water pail; Time he wastes not At the paste pot, Wrapping up the mail. When the week’s done, Then he seeks one Where the greenbacks lay. There to settle For the little Devil is to pay. In this spirit There is merit, Far from tint of shame; Often gaining By bis training Good and honored name. Legislators, Great debaters, Scientific men Have arisen From the prison Of the printer’s den. LATJGHOGKRAMS. The roar material—Baby. What is higher when the head is off? The pillow. A man may live in a garret and not be room-attic. Matchless misery—Having a cigar, and no match. A Connecticut hen lays twin eggs by somamiscackelation. - • - A sure way to prevent bad dreams— don’t go to sleep. A tight fit is certainly the delirum tre mens. The national prohibition movement doesn't hold water so well as might. The orator who chained his audience has been sued for false imprisonment. Chicago wants somebody to father a dancing school for orphans. “Ever heart knows its own bitters!’’ as the old lady said to her minister. Why are clergymen like brakesmen? jßecause they do a great deal of coup *ng. Connecticut had one divorce to every eleven marriages last. One didn’t leav en the whole. “Died a fightin’ Bill Jones,” was the verdict of a coroner’s jury over an Indi an Territory man. A Boston clerk loves the very ground a young widow walks on. It is worth S2OO an acres. Potatoes are to be raised at the fron tier army posts to give a-melier-ation to the soldier’s fare. The barbers in Massachusetts get their customers drunk, by saturating the scap well, with the strongest of bay rum. What ancle in a grocer’s shop express es a doubt as to a man’s power of walk ing? Canister [Can he stir?] A minister walked six miles to marry a nouple lately. He said he felt sort of fee-bill like. What is that from which if you take the whole, some will remain ? The word wholesome. “Cousin Belle, can’t we hit upon some plan for making that cold-hearted lover of yours jealous?” “Yes, I think we can, if we put our heads together.” “I thought you was bom on the Ist of April,” said a husband to his lovely wife, who had mentioned the 21st as her birthday, “Most people would think so from the choice I made of a husband,” she re plied. During slavery, a farmer in one of the States, owned an old negro who would steal every fowl he could lay his hands on, but if asked about it, would nearly always tell the truth. His master called him one day and said: “Sam, have you stolen any chickens tins week ?” “No, sir." “Any turkeys?” “No, sir, marster.” “Any geese?” “No, sir, but you like to eotch me, I hooked some ducks,” SHOE. A zealous divine in this city unfortu nately encountered last Sunday a detach ment of Harris’ Brigade “pick-it” guards, busily at work on the streets, and stern ly accosted the bullet-headed representa tive of the green isle nearest with him: “What are you doing this for ?” “Three dollars a day, sur,” promptly responded Pa*. “You might be better employed on a day like this.” “Thrue for you, sur, an’ I’d be glad of a job that ’ud pay betther.’’ “Ah 1 my friend,” said the shepherd, ‘‘you should raise your eyes to higher things to-day.” , “Is it raisin’ me eyes I’d be wie the pick in me fist? Begorra, I thried that yesterday, and druv’ the pick through Tim Donovan’s big toe, there. He tuck me a lick wid a shovel, and there wor as fine a fight as ye’d see this side of Con naught in five minutes.” “But,” persisted the good man, “do you not feel an inward spirit— “ Spirit? In me inwards? Divil a drop the day, and the mouth of me as dhry as a lime-kiln.” “Ah! no, my friend, ’tis that spirit which destroys.” “Shure I know it—it destroys thirst, and if yer afther tippin’ us the price of a couple o’ glasses,” said Pat, with a sly twinkle, ‘to drink yer ’anner’s health why—” “No, my health is well enough; but can you not be persuaded to give up work for this day ?” “Shure it’s as aisy as a cat drinkin’ crame for yer ’aimer to make me do that yerself.” “Indeed, then let my powers of persua sion—” “Oh, bother your power of persuasion; if ye’ll put three dollars in the fist of me, sure I’ll drap me pick to-day intirely, and here’s Tim Grady, the blackguard, been waitin’ as a substitoot half the mor nin’, and will take me place.” . The good man didn’t exactly see it in this light; but the boss of the gang, ob serving Pat’s pick was idle, sent some sulphurous expletives in that direction, which put it in such lively motion that his questioner was compelled to with draw outside them and the circle of splashes and ice splinters that immedi ately surrounded the scene of opera tions. The Printer’s Estate. —We find the following remarks, which all printers and publishers will agree in calling sensible in an exchange, and commend them to the attention of the reader. They will apply to all localities in which newspa pers circulate: The printer’s dollars—where are they? A dollar here and a dollar there, scatter ed over the numerous small towns, all over the country miles and miles apart; how shall they be gathered together? The paper-maker, the journeyman com positor, the building owner, the grocer, the tailor and all assistants to him in car rying on his business, have their demands hardly ever so small as a single dollar. But the mites from here and there must be diligently gathered and patiently hoarded, or the wherewith to discharge the liabilities will never become sufficient ly bulky. We imagine the printer will will have to get up an address to his widely scattered dollars something like the following: Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes and all manner of fractions into which you are divided, collect yourselves and come home! You are wanted. Combinations of all sorts of men that help to make the printer a proprietor, gather in such force and demand with such good reasons your appearance at this counter, that nothing short of you will appease them. Collect yourselves, for valuable as you are in the aggregate, single you will never pay the cost of collecting. Come here in single file, that the printer may form you in battalion, and send you forth again to battle for him and vindicate his feeble credit. Reader, are you sure you haven't a couple of the printer’s dollars sticking about your clothes ? If you have, order them home immediately. Republican and other presses that do not believe in the farmers' movement, and who do not think it will “be more than a shower,” would do well to ttudy the inscriptions upon the banners in a procession of five thousand farmers in Lawrence Kansas, a few days since, some of which read thus significantly: Down with Banks and Up with Com! No Quarters to monopoly! Equal Taxation 1 God Speed the Plow! United We Stand, Divided We Fall! Live and let Live! Money Rings, Beware! The Ides of November, 73! Farmers will be free! Harmony! No more Parasites! Less Officers, Less Laws, Less Taxes and More Justice! Industry will be Rewarded! Fanners to the Front—Forcibly if We Must! Reform or Revolution! Vox Populi! Passes up Salt River Free! Fraternity, Equality and Exchange! If this does not mean business, if it does not mean revolution of political par ties, we confess ourselves at a loss to properly interpret plain language. [Memphis Appeal. “Unless you give me aid,” said a beg gar to a benevolent lady, “I am afraid I shall have to resort to something which I greatly dislike to do.” The lady han ded him a dollar, and compassionately asked, ‘What is it, poor man, that I have saved you from?” “Work,” was the mournful answer. Somebody gives this definition 5f no where : “A place where no Yankee has ever been, and never will be.” It was at the second battle of Bull Run a cannon ball took off a poor sold ier’s leg. “Carry me to the- rear,” he cried to a tall Yankee companion who had been fighting by his side. Ae Yankee caught the wounded sol dier up and as he was about to put him across his shoulder another cannon ball carried away the poor fellow’s head. The Yankee, however in the confusion did not notice this, but proceeded towards the rear. “What are you carrying that thing for,” cried an officer. “Thing,” returned the Yankee. “It’s a man with his leg shot off.” “Why, he hasn’t any head 1” cried the officer. The Yankee looked at his load and for the first time saw that what the officer said was true. Throwing down the body he thundered out: “Confound him! he told me it was his leg!” The New York Tribune refers regret fully to the feet that the Fourth of July was not observed in the South. It ought to have been observed in Louisiana, in South Carolina, in Arkansas—in short, wherever the Southern people are reap* ing the harvest of Federal despotism.— Indeed, it is a pity that on that day there were not meetings in every town in the South, and the famous bill of indictment against Great Britain read to the people. It would have been interesting to make known how petty were the grievances of the colonies compared with those of the South, and it would have given the hear ers food for reflection to have told them that for these grievances the colonists took up arms, while some Southern men seek in unification a panacea for their ills, and bow to Gessler’s cap for a salary and a per diem. A good story is told of old Johnny McGill, who resided during the war, in East Tennessee. Guerrillas represent ing both parties, kept it so warm in that forsaken region, that it was dangerous to belong to either side. McGill had in trying to ride both horses, got several black jackings, first from the rebels and then from the Yankees. As they were dressed alike, he made several mistakes in. trying to pass for either Union or Southern, as he thought would suit the crowd. At last he was met by a party whose politics he could not even guess at, and the following conversation en sued : “Sir, are you a Union man ?” “No sir,” replied McGill. “Are you a rebel, then?” “No, sir.” “Then what in the devil’s name are you,” roared the captain. “Well, sir,” hesitated McGill, “to tell the honest truth, I’m—nothing—and but blasted little of that.” One of Josh Billings’ maxims is, “Rise early, work hard and late, give nothing away, and if you don’t get rich the devil, you may sue me for damages.’' Were the hand to give all the tongue promises, we should soon have no more beggars; everybody would be a prince. To-morrow is the day on which idle men work, and fools reform.
