A MODERN VALENTINE.
Oh, Rowland Hill, immortal man,How can we pay you for your plan!To you our thanks, our pence are due;It was the Emperor of JapanAs much as they that gave the U- niversal Penny Postage.
Send up a column to the sky,Five thousand office-inkstands high;Take for a basement fair to view,As many reams of "wove demyWrite—"To the author of the U- niversal Penny Postage."
A Modern Valentine.
Dear girl, I send my love to thee,As pure and true as love can be;Of course you'll know from whom this came,But if you don't, it's all the same.
