EVENING STAR.
SONG OF THE EDITOR.
BY c. ToLER WOLF.

BY ToLER WOLF.
The Editor In his ssnctum sat-
All M.s Silent xhss sikout the street.
And the CHARLEY pursuing his usual beat,
Cf His se sTe rs were swollen and red,
And the rushlight was melting away,
And Tomorrow to himself he SAID,
lis publication day"
Write. write y writem!
fear | am growing dumb.
I've divers notions IN my head,
Which feels like ton or two of lead,
But they vanish as soon as they come
Paste, and scissors, and brush!
III could collar one bright idss
could write with perfect rush.
nod, a start, and nod,
My pen worn down to a stump
pause, and ponder, and scratch my pate,
And my scOnce on the desk dump.
Nod! nod nod!
As ] SIT tumbled up in a heap
w hat 4 SIN that subscribers should DO so scarce,
And the paper so very cheap!
Write, write! write,
With paper all blOtted and smeared;
Write write! write,
With eyes all blinded and bleared
Brush, and scissors, and paste,
Paste and SCISSORS, and brush
Tbs enough to drive an Editor mad
And hrs kindly feelings crush.
O man, who no paper will take,
10 amuse your children and vile,
It's not the pens and ink ye waste,
But the editor precious llie!
Write! write write!
For a livelihood must,
wear out my shoes collecting the news,
And walk tall I'm like To bust
TTudEe, trudge trudge, %
With cheeks both hollow and thin,
Trudge, trudge trudge.
And all for a little tin
For pleasure have no space
Not q moment to- lose have l.
Rags and disgrace, stare me full IN the face,
so root, Ptggss, or DIE"
Wake wake wake,
We who learning hold as naueht:
20 ye not know. for a dollar or so,
What your children can be taught!
Take take, take
The paper and read the news;
Don't let your Ohsprlngs live and die
Like parcel of wild YahooS!
Scratch scratch scratch,
While my BRAIN Is OOZIng away
scratch! scratch ! scratch.
I'LL my head Is turning gray,
% man, for moment think
How the PRINTER you rob of his labor,
When paper you fob, from front door knob,
Ut borrow one Of your nelghbor!
Write, write! write,
Oh but I'm weary and worn.
Write! write write!
And the cocks are Growing for morn
And when for home | start,
i reel like famlshed rat,
Folks say on the sly, as totter by,
There ne goes tctth brick in his hati"
The editor in his Sdactum sat,
- With vlsage savage and sour,
All was silent without, the wind in the street,
And the Waterman paradIng his usual beat
Ginning the midnight hour,
HIS eyes were swollen and red,
W nile the taper was melting away,
And Tomorrow to himself he SAID,
Is publication day!'
