Editing a Paper.

ter, people won't have it.
If the type is large it don't contain
enough reading matter.
If the type is small they can't read it
If we publish telegraph reports folks
say they are nothing but lies.
If We omit them they say we have no
enterprise, or suppress them for political
effect.
If We have in few jokes, folks say we
are nothing but rattle head.
If we omit jokes, they say We are an
old 70: sil.
If We publish original matter, they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we publish selections, folks say we
are lazy for not writing more and giving
them what they have not read in some
other paper.
If We give man complimentary no.
tlces, We are censured for being partial.
If we do not, ali hands say we are a
greedy hog.
If We insert an article which pleases
the ladies, men become jealous.
If We do not cater to their wishes, the
paper is not fit to have in their house.
If We attend church they say it is only
for affect.
1t we do not, they denounce us deceit
full, and desperately wicked.
If We speak well of any act of the
President, folks say we dare not do other
wise.
If we censure, they call US traitor.
IF we remain in the Office and attend
to business, folks say we are too proud to
mingle with our fellows.

If we do not pay all bills promptly,
folks say we are not to be trusted.
If We do pay promptly, they say we
