I'm glad you're to home, fpr you Whore is
al'aye a rennin away,
Your paper last week wa'n't so splay nor
sharp ae the one week before,
But I &'pose when the campaign is open.
ed you'll bo whoopin It up to 'em more,
That feller that's printin The Smasher is
Goin for you party smart,
And our folks said this mornin ab break-
feet they thought he was gettin the
start,
Bnt I hushed 'em right up in a minute
and said a good word for you ;
I told 'em I b'lievod you was trying bo
do just as well as yon knew ;
And I bold 'em that someone was sayin,
and Whoever 'two& ib is so
That you oat expeob meatof no one
man nor blame him for what he don't
know
But, layin aside pleaeure for business,
I've brought you my little boy Jim,
And I thought I would see if you couldn't
make an editor oaten of him.
"My family stook is inorea610' while
other folks' seems to run short,
I've got a right smart of a family–its one
of the old-fashioned sort ;
There's Iohabod,Ieaao and Israel a•work..
in away on the farm—
They do 'bout as much as ono good boy
and maim things go off like a charm ;
There's Moses and Aaron are sly ones
and Blip like a couple of eels ;
But they're tenably steady in one thing–
they al'ays gib round to their meals ;
There's Peter is busy invenbin (though
what he invents I can't oee,)
And Joseph is etudyin medicine—and
both of 'em boardin with me ;
There's Abram and Albert is married,
each workin my farm for myself,
And Sam smashed his nose at a ehoobin
and so he is laid on the shelf ;
The rest of the boys are all growin,'dept
this little runt, which is Jim,
And I thought that perhaps I'de be mak.
in an editor outen o' him.
"He ain't no great shakes for to labor,
though I've labored with him a good
deal,
And give him some atrappin good aega•
ments I knew be couldn't help but to
feel,
Bub he's built out of second•growth tim-
ber and notlhin about him is big
Exoeptin his appetite only and there he's
as good as a pig.
I keep him a•oarryin Iuooheone and fillin
and bringin the jugs,
And take him among the partatoeo and
set him to piokin the bilge
And then there is things to be dein a-
helpin the women indoors ;
There's ahurnin and waehin of dishes
and other deeoriptione of chores
But be don't take to =thin but viotuals
and he'll never be much, I'm afraid,
So I thought it would be a good notion to
Tarn him the editor's trade,
His body's toosmall for a farmer, hie
judgment is rather too slim,
But I thought we perhaps could be mak-
in an editor outen o' him 1
THE EDITOR'S GUESTS.
The Editor eat in his sanctum, his coun-
tenance farrowed with care,
His mind at the top of business, his feet
at the top of a chair,
His chair -arm an elbowsupporting, his
right hand upholding his head,
His eyes on his dusty old table, with dif.
ferent documents spread :
There were thirty long pages from How.
ler, with underlined capitals topped,
And a short disquisition from Growler,
requesting his newspaper stopped ;
There were lyrics from Gusher, the poet,
concerning sweet flow'rete and zephyrs,
And a stray gem from Plodder, the far.
mer, describing a couple of heifers ;
There were bitten from beautiful maiiens
and bills from a grocer or two,
And hie beet leader hitched to a letter
which inquired if he wrote it, or who ?
There were raptures of praises from
writers of the weekly mellifluous school,
And one of hie rival's last papers inform.
ing him he was a fool ; •
There were several long resolutions with
names telling whom they were by,
Canonising some harmless old brother
who had done nothing worse than to
die ;
s There were traps on the table to catch
him, and serpeubs to sting and to smite
him ;
There were gift enterprises to sell him
and biters attempting to bite him ;
There were long staring "ads" from the
city and money with never a one,(
Which added, 'Please give this insertion
and semi in your bill when you're done,'
There were letters from organizations—
their meetings, their wants and their
laws—
Which said "Can you print this an-
nouncement for the good of our glor•
ions cause ?"
There were tickets inviting Ms presence
to festivals, parties and shows,
Wrapped in notes with "Please give to a
notice" demurely slipped in at the clow,
In short, es his eye took the table and
ran o'er its ink.spettered trash,
Thera was uothiug it did not encounter,
excepting perhaps it was cosh.
The Editor dreamily pondered on several
ponderous things,
On different lines of notion and the pull-
ing of different airings
Upon nine equivocal doings and some
unequivocal duns;
On how few of his numerous patrons were
quietly prompt -paying ones ;
On friends who subscribed "just to help
him" and wordy encouragement lent,
And had given him plenty of counsel,
but never had paid him a oent ;
On vinegar, kind-hearted people were
feediug him every hour,
Who saw not the work they were doing,
but wondered that "printers are sour ;"
On several intelligent townsmen whose
kindness was so without stint
That they kept an eye on his Matinees
and told him just what he should print ;
On men who had rendered him favors
and never pushed forward their claims
So long as the paper wag crowded with
"locale" containing their names ;
On various ober small mattes, sufficient
his temper to roil,
And finely contrived to be making the
blood of an,editor boll t
And so ono may saethat tele feelings
could hardly be said to be smooth,
And be needed s0m0 pleasant occurrence
his ruffled emotions to soothe
"It ain't much to get up a paper—it
wouldn't take him long for to learn ;
He could feed the machine, I'm thinkin,.
with a good otrapin feller to turn,
And things that was once hard in doin is
easy enough now to do ;
Just keep your eye on your machinery
and crack your arrangements right
through ;
I used for to wonder at remain and where
it was got up, and how,
But its most of it made by maohinery—I
can see it all plain enough now,
And poetry, too, is constructed by mach•
ines of different designs,
Each one with a goose and a chopper to
see to the length of the lines ;
And I hear a New York clairvoyant is
runnie one sleeker than grease,
And a•rentin her heaven -born produo.
tions at a couple of dollars a•pieoe ;
And eine° the whole trade has growed
easy,'twould be easy enough, I've is
whim,
If you was agreed, to be makin an editor
oaten o' Jim I"
He bad it ; for to I on the threshold, e
slow and reliable tread,
And a farmer invaded the 020810m and
those are the words that he said :
"Good.mornin, sir, Mr. Printer ; how is,
your body today ?
And 'tie thus with our noble proleeoion
and thus it will ever be still,
'Phare aro some who appreciate its labors
and some who perhaps never will,
But in the groat time that is coming
when loudly the trumpet shall sound,
And they who have labored and reetod
shall oome from the quivering ground
When they who have striven and suffer-
ed to teach and ennoble the race,
Shall march at the front of the column,
each one in hie God-given place,
As they pass through the gates of The
City with pond and viotorione tread,
The editor, printer and "devil" will
travel not fee from the head,

ice or snow or where the person is ex-

The Editor sat in his sanctum and looked
the old man in the eye,
Then glanced at the grinning young hope-
ful and mournfully made his reply :
"Ia your son a small unbound edition of
Moeee and Solomon both ?
Can be compass hie spirit with meekness
and strangle a natural oath ?
Can he leave all his wrongs to the future
and carry his heart in his cheek ?
Can he do an hour's work in a minute
and live on a sixpence a week ?
Can he courteously talk to an equal and
browbeat an impudent dunce ?
Can he keep things in apple-pie order
and do half a dozen at once ?
Can he preen all the springs of know-
ledge with quick and reliable touch,
And be sure that he knows haw muoh to
know and knows how to nob know too
much ?
Does be know how to spur up his virtue
and put a oheok•rein on his pride ?
Can he carry a gentleman's manners
within a rhinoceros' hide ?
Can he know all and do all and be all,
with cheerfulness, courage and vim ?
If so, we perhaps on be makin an editor
outen o' .him"
The farmer stood curiously listening,
while wonder hie visage o'erapread ;
And be said "Jim, 1 guess we'll be goon ;
he's probably out of hie ]head."
But, lo 1 on the rickety stair -ease, an-
other reliable tread,
And entered anotherold farmer and lame
are the words that he said :
"Good -morning, sir, Mr. Editor, how is
the folks today?
I owe 'yon for next year's paper ; I
thought I'd come in and pay,
And Janes is again to take it and this is
his money here ;
r abut down on lendin it to him and
coaxed hien to try it a year ;
And here is a few little items that hap-
pened last weak in our town,
I thought they'd look good for the paper
and so I just jotted them down ;
And here is a basket of cherries my wife
picked expressly for you ;
And a small bunch of flowers from Jen-
nie—she thought she must send' some -
thin too.
You're dein the politioo bully ae all of
our family agree ;
Just keep your old goose•gnill a•fioppin
and give 'em a good one for me ;
And now you are chuck fall of business
