THE WALKING OF THE GHOST.W« hear the man# of presses sad tbsscratching of the pen,Tbs rustle of the papers in the editorial deo.There's a buzz of busy working, there’s a | 1 never ending grind IAs the thoughts keep sprouting upward from this garden of the mind.And it breathes a fascination that’s the p journalistic boast,But the greatest thing about it is the walking of the ghost.i He cometh round ou Saturday—of all good ^ days the best—| With envelopes of lucre that he huggeth | to his breast.He looketh down upon us as he plays his p weekly part And seemetb uot to notice all the joy that’s I incur heart.He sings no song to cheer us, and he has for us no smile;His gift is greater far than this—he adds ;unto our pile. IThe merry jest, the gladsome song, the smile, they nil may full; jBut may this moneyed spirit ever hover i ou our trail!We love the fullness of each day, that brings its wealth of work.And from this mine of riches we were never known to shirk.When Monday comes it finds us fresh, and Tuesday much the same.The other days are good to us—who dares to call them tame?—But we affirm, without delay, the day we love the most Is that on which we listen to the footfall of the ghost.'I 50,000 people die annually in this : country from disorders of the Liver, ,e Stomach and Bowels alone. This can •a ! be prevented by using Duseh Bros. '!l i Laxative Fig Manna and Tamarinds; ~ ! 35c per bottle, at your druggists. :Oh, genial ghost we love so well, this is our constant prayer—Forever may we hear your step each week upon the stair. j ,) Dear friends there are who oft drop In— , right welcome are they all; : ;Yet who is there whose wit sometimes has not been known to pall, IWhose idle word has left no sting that \4 rankled to the core, Is Or who has not, though ofttimes bright, : sometimes been known to bore?- No rancorous mind is ours, and yet in all j- j this goodly hosty1 iWe here declare that there's no friend like 1 him we call the ghost.1 No burning words of wisdom ever lingel on his lips;n No counsels does he give us as he passes osp ; his trips. |
