CHANGE OF NAME.

If thus Penny Papers are freely allowed

To fling right and left their absurd imputations,

To find a new name for the quill-driving crowd

Will surely be one of our first obligations.

The Penny-a-Liner for long has been known

As a genial gusher, a fine phrase-refiner;

But now that he false and malignant has grown,

We must call him "The Penny Maligner."
