A Country Editors Trouble.


The typos oil had pocketed their rules
(There were but three upon the paper then),
And lounging idly on the Office stools,
Surveyed the "Colonel," who with busy pen
Was dashing of leader for his sheet,
Entitled, "Dullness at the County Seat"
Twas Saturday and six o'clock. The boys
Were waiting for their slender weekly pay;
Alas that bugaboo which so annoys
The country printer and obstructs his way.
IF typts could set themselves his course would
seem
As calm and pleasant as summer dream.
A half an hour passed by-still toiled the scribe ;
Ideas seemed to flow with wondrous ease
Still, IL we might believe a current gibe,
Which hinted that the writer crossed his t's
With sweeping lines that ran across the sheet,
His pen, alas produced more chaff than wheat.
Tho clock struck seven. Then the typos all,
With muttered threats Of quitting then and
there,
Filed slowly out into the dingy hall.
And started down the well-worn Office stair.
Just here whistle from the sanctun sent
thrill Of hope through each, and back they
won't
"Well, boys" began the scribe, 'T'm palned to
That prospects are not fattering tonight;
I've failed to raise q single cent to-day,
And consequently, funds are rather tight
This crushing news undoubtedly will fall
Upon your aspirations like pail
"But bear up bravely-What is that you said
I'm owing you heap Of money now1
truer statement never left your head.
I've used you badly, that must allow,
But think of Job and meekly bow to fate
Pm short, just learn to labor and-to Whh
II must confess that sincerely grieve
To sec you placed in this unlovely strait,
But toss your heads and mako your friend be-
iieve
That lots Of luere prompts your buOyant gait !;
Don't leave me, gents-coninuo still to strive
You've money coming, and II may arrive"
Then spoke the typos, almost IN Il chorus;
This workin' Tor a man without the stamps
Is most too thin and just triHe porous
We fail TO see it. Colonel, 'in those lampsi'
We've lived on hope, with now and then n
cracker,
For threelo long weeks, and durin' all that tirno,
BY jingo we've had to do without tobacker,
And we've concluded that we'd better climb. {"
The door here opened and n robust party
Came In, who pulling out his pocket-book,
Exclaimed in tones encouraging and hearty.
"There, that's my bill. reckon--please to
lock-"
He didn't stop to read the Colonel's leader,
Or pocket some exchanges on the sly;
lie left like you or l would, gentle reader
That's like gentleman. How's that for high?
The Colonel raised his patrons timely favor
"a six months bill for an sdvertlsement),
And said in tones that bad Of prldo savor:
Here, take 1t boys"--hc gave them every
cent.
When from the place the printers had departed
This plant came from the weary man Of new : ;
"Ah. me! poor, patient wife will feel down
hearted
When I 60 homo without the childrens
shoes"
