Only a Miner. lty Old Joe Cttnwaj of Witlou Park. Only «i miner tluil w orked under ground. Toiling an 1 slaving all the year round, f Fretting and pining his poor life away, ft*’ laborous his work, he gets Utile pay. Shut up in a dreary, dismal,dark mine, F mm the pure air of heaven, where the? sun never shines, „ Stripped to his waist like some Trojan of old. As he'breaks iuto fragments the hard solid coal. r Surrounded hy darkness and dangers unseen. While the sweat trickles from him in many a stream. He braves death and danger to earn his bit ot bread. While thousands lie snugly and warm in their bed. The caller he comes close upon three o'clock. And he wakes him up trom his steep with a knock. Call the men up. then he cries with a shout. And hroni his warm,bed he is forced to turn out. He must rise then at once and get on to his feet. Put on his pit clothes and get something to eat. He barely lias time bis pipe to get tit. Before he must hurry away to the pit* When he gets to the shaft where the men stand uroun', v Waiting in turn with .the cagff to go down. As the keps are drawn back the banksman does say. Fairly on to the bottom lad—send her away. As down in the earth he descends Into gloom, Where all is as silent and dark as the tomb. Far away front bis home and those he loves dear, ‘‘ %: ■ The brave houest miner no danger does fear. As soon as the cage at the bottom does land, He mast burry in bye with his tamp in hi hand. Fujr.oft Ip the mine he’s a long way to go. And must travel half double, the rool Is so r1 low. When he gets to the tlat where the men have to stop, I While the deputy goes aud examines the top, And sees that all’s right and no gas in the face Before he dare send a man iuto his place. For ft few mi&ntes then he has time for to nest, Tilt the deputy comes back agai&i to the kist. Ashe looks at his watch, to the men then he'll cry: Time’s up, now, my tads, yod can utl go in bye. Each man from the flat then'll way takes a tub. Sometimes it may happen he’s tn)a loose jud. Where the coal U is canny he may get a good day. * J To help up his MltU bit wages at^he pay day. Perhaps it may be that he’s In a bad wail. W here the coal is so hard he cau hew none at all. . • Tho’ lie works till he’s silly and does all he can. , \et, they’ll tell him he is not a fair average man. '

God help the poor miner, for bard is his lot Tho" lie works every day we ean scarce boil the pot. 'Few com torts of life ever fall to his share. As he toils bn In slavery year after year. So, my dear friends, ere 1 finish my rhyme,1 Take a word of advice from year ola friend-!m time. Let brotherly love be yonr motto through lith.. To each other be true and devoid or all strife, Let unity be a password to ail. ' For united westainl divided we fall. Then when to this earth we must bid adieu. Let ©or fast record prove we were laithfUl and trae. ? • , ‘ - ■ t Recommended for La Grippe.
