? ?An
editor has been inspired,
after looking over his list of delinquent
subscribers, to compose the
following: "How de^ir to our hearts
is the silver dollar, when gome
kind subscriber presents it to view;
the liberty head without necktie
or collar, and all the sLrunge things
which to us seems so new; the
wide-spreading eagle, the arrows
below it, the stars and .the swords
with the strange things they tell;
the coin of our fathers, \ve are glad
that we know it, for some time or
other 'twill come in right well; the
spread-eagle dollar, the star spangled
dollar, the old silver dollar wo
all love so well."
