THE RURAL MEW-YORKER. 
FUNNY MAN. 
Do you see that poor, dejected fellow. 
With eyes so mournful, with skin so yellow, 
And a form as thin as a waxen taper? 
He’s joker-in-chief of a comic paper. 
He was by nature a sunny man; 
But a wrong start made him a funny man. 
He sits at hts tiresome desk all day. 
And writes in a sad, perfunctory way. 
He heaves n sigh as he fashions a pun, 
He groans as he grinds Ills grist of ftui, 
His head may throb, and his heart may ache, 
But his cap and bells he still must shako. 
Though fashioned, perchance, for better things, 
He beats his rage with Ills useless wings. 
Kphemeral as a fleeting vapor 
Is he who cuts his salaried caper 
As Joker-lu-chief of a comic paper.
