The Editor's Dream.
A PARODY.

PARODY.
Write! write write
with eyelids heavy and red,
An editor sat IN his easy chair
Taxing his weary head
His lamp was burning low
And the shadows on the wall
We're heavy and black. with midnight Welsht
As sombre collins pail.
Ore two three
The clock in the helfry tower.
THROUGH the weSy watches o. the night,
Tolled the advancing hour
But vet like a slave at the wheel,
Ills aching hand moved on
And his ewes were bird to the lines he traced
And his senses almost gone
Creak creak creak
The portal swings aiar
And the lan1 Of blissful sleep appears
Spread out both near and far
And, to his wandering gaze
A printing press Is shown
That sets its type supplies its news,
And " runs" itself alone.
There doing by the FIRE.
It's happy Lord reciines
Upon a couch Of toftest down
And every care resigns;
No odious " deyili' near
To worry out his life;
Or hand him in those small accounts,
Contracted by his wife.
Five six seven
The clock on his off ,e wall
Summons the editor back 70 earth
BY its most unwelc0me call.
" More copy" the " devil" cries,
While the e1itor looks fJrlorl =
He had fallen asleep in the mi Il Of his Work
And dreamed till the breaking morn
Write. write write
HIS pen is at work a-a n,
Write, write. write,
No rest for writing men;
The paper must come out;
The children must be fed
Oh God that brains should be 90 cheap,
So dear the poor mems bread

SOME MOTHERS CHILD.
BY FRANCIS L. KELLER.

AT home or away, in the alley or street,
Whe,eyer chance in this wide world to
A girl that is thoughtless, or boy that is
wild,
My heart echoes softly, "'Tis some mothers
child"
And when see those o'er whom long years
havo rolled,
Whose hearts have grown hardened, whose
spirits are cold,
BE 1t woman all fallen, or man all defiled.
A voice whispers sadly, "Ah some mothers
.s.l child Htoiit
No matter how far from the right she hath
strayei;
No matter what inroads dishonor hath made;
No matter what element cankered the pearl
Though tarnished and sullied, she is some
mothers girl.
No matter how wsyuard his footsteps have
been;
No matter how deep he is sunken in sin;
No matter how low is his standard Of Joy
Though guilty and loathsome, he is some
mothers boy. -.r
That head hath been pillowed on tenderes
breast;
That form hath been wept DER, those lips
have been pressed
That soul hath been prayed for in tones
sweet and mild
For her sake deal gently with some mothers
child.
The Weekly Washington telegraph., 1871-06-14
