"It was the nightly nightingale.
And not the morning lark.
That pierced the hollow OF thine ear
stay, my festive SPARK
It was the herald OF the morn
No nightingale my sweet;
And must kiss my hand 10 thee
Until again we meet"

The light thou seest meteor is
Or the lamps at Mantua.
80 no. my fairest Juliet,
Nights candles are burnt out,
Aud jocund day stands tip-toe
on the II ountain-tops about.
But. since thy sweet lips ask it.
I'll stay. my hearts delight,
Until the lower regions
Are frozen over tight.
III say yon gray 10 eastward
Is not the mornings eye,
And that il not the lark whose uotes
Do beat the vaulted sky
Twas thus the maid detained him
Till her father donned his pants,
And went down and loosed the bulldog
And his cousins and his uunts.
And. when the hungry CANNES
With his limbs the ground did strew,
They were instructed by the Capulet
TO eat the Montague.
And never, though say 1t.
Was q story of more WO
Than this pathetic narrative
OF our foolish Romeo.

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid, in his very inter
esting address before the New York
editors, said the coming reporter must
write like Macaulay. He may write
like the celebrated historian, but he
will not do any newspaper work. As a
reporter Macaulay would have proved

not have lowered himself down Goa
hole in the sidewalk, and come up the
cellar stairs, in order to interview q prom

wife; nor would he have climbed over .

use of the coming reporter being able
to write like Observation-Disclosures Her
