The Bore of the sanctum,
..BY ). G. SAKE.


Again hear that crealing stepl
He's rapping at the door
Too well know the boding sound
That ushers in bore.
do not tremble when meet
The stoutest Of my foes,
But Hesyen defend me from the friend
Who comes-but never goes.
He drops into my easy chair,
And asks about the news;
he peers into my manuscript,
And gives his candid views;
He tells me where he likes the line,
And where he's forced to grieye;
He takes the strangest liberties
But never takes his leave
He reads my daily paper through
Before I've seen word
He scans the lyric (tbat ! wTotei)
And thinks It quite absurd;
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And coolIy asks for more;
He opens everything he sees
Except the entry door
He talks about his fragile health,
And tells me Of the pains
lie suffers from a score Of Ills
or which he nc. .er complains;
And how he struggled once with death
To keep the fiend at bay;
On themes like those away he goes
But never goes away
lie tells me of the carping words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familiarly can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong;
He'd like to run him through
He says a thousand pleasant things
But never says "Adteu p
When e'er he comes--that dreadful man
Disguise IL as may,
know that, like an autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day;
In vain speak Of urgent tasks;
In vain / scowl and pout;
A frown is no extinguisher-
II does not put him out
I mean to take the knocker of;
Put Grape upon the door;
Or hint 10 John that am gone ~
To stay month or more.
do not tremble when / meet
The stoutest of my foes;
But Heaven defend me from the friend
Who never, never goes
