Jonathan's Visit to a Printing Office. Did you ever go upio the Pi inter's, And see all them devils at work? I cossnotchet it beats all toflinters Mother's fuss when we kill all our pork. Them fellers they stand right up straight, And pick up little pieces of lead; Stuck in cubby holes thicker, I'll bale, Than seeds in our big parsnip bed. Then they keep such a ducking and bobbing, I'll be Uarn'd! like aunt Peggy's old drake When he's gobbling up corn, or a robin That stands on one leg on a stake. How a plague can tn-y find all the letters, Is more than my gumption can tell: They call them are workmen type-setters, And an old shoe, they said that was hell. Then they've got too a cast iron press, It beats father's for cider and cheese; Tis tarnation hird work I should guess, And it gives a confounded light squeeze. There's a thumping great roller I swow They keep pushingthe Lord knows for what And the paper itvould cover our mow, Such a whopping great sheet have they got. How they fill it all up is the wonder, . Where the darn do they find so much news, As thick as pea blossoms in summer What a nation of ink they do use! By gall! I dont see how they pay For so many heaps of white paper, They tell'd me they used every day; Good Lord it would ruin Squire Taber. I'd no notion, I vum, 'twas such tarnal Hard work to print papers and books; I'll go right down and -cribe for the Jarnel And go home and 4ell all the folks. The old shoe kept as a receptacle for broken types. -The devil, no doubt, imposed upon the simplicity of Jonathan. chaels, and the other islands which have little or no foreign commerce, the inhab itants were in the most deplorable condi tion many oft hem constantly dying for want of sustenance. It is now more than two years since they have had "any rain, and vegetation is o scant as to afford but a very inadequate support to the small quantity of stock remaining on the islands. St.Jago, Mayo and Botiavista, were not reduced to so great an extremity, in con sequence of their greater commercial ad vantages; but even at these islands the scarcity of provisions was distressing. The inhabitants were very grateful for the supplies sent them from the United States: Their own Government, (Portu gal) has done nothing for their relief.
