The Woes of a Ifurnori.t.

IL Is amazing how people will i'm
agine that an article in the paper re-
fers to themselves. A Western editor
who wrote funny articles had heap
Of trouble on that.account. His first
yarn had Mr.. Bunting for its hero,
and the day il appeared, Mr.. Flagg
called and ascertained that II wasn't a
hit at him. The next story was about
Hon: Eggleston Eggs, and the Hon:
Darlington Cary left word that if IL
ccrn. The editor tired the name Of
Mongrel, and a prominent citizen who
was not only named Cross, but had n
little Indian blood In his veins, came
into the Office and tried to take the
editors scalp. The editor having had
SO much trouble determined to be safe
the next time, and the man that he
described as falling down stairs into a
soap barrel was named "Morgue."
That time the uDlucky humorist had
TO fight two men, Messrs. Graves and
Coffin, who chased him through the
main street with two pltchforks. He
did think that no man would mistake
himself for n person called Cow-wallow
but Mr.. Oxford did so, and stood In
front Of the Office three quarters Of
an hour and threw stones into the Office
window and called the hapless editor
TO come out and be ground against a
tree. The editor dia not respond, as
he was too busy attending 10 two gen.
tlemen who thought they were slur-
red In a laughable account Of the mis-
fortunes OF a Mr.. Beast. One was
named Mr.. Lyon and the other Lamb,
and the editor whispered 10 each that
the other wrote the piece, and the
Lyon and the Lamb laid down To-
eether and clawed each others clothes
off, and threw inkstands and did SIS
worth Of damage 10 the place before
they were taken out. And the editor
Inserted an advertisement requesting
anybody who considered the name Of
DaeuerrcotypeQ q. Watermelon a slur
on him 10 respond, aud as no one did
he how uses that name. And people
wonder why humorists give such odd
names 10 their characters.-N. Y.

MORNING HOURS.
BY u. Won SEUTTER.

Rouse sleepers Breathe the morning al
Fog mondays heat soon everywhere
will tempt you to Il cooler cline.
Rouse, breathe, enjoy the dewy morn
That ever young, of nature born,
Floats down on wings sublime.
Behold AurOra's fervent kiss,
IN cloud and sky in endless bliss
Blush lovely crimson far above.
o gee The suns first rays and light
O'er earth and sky proclaim with might
A day is born and God is love!
And as this magic we inhalc,
Fhe wondrous morn, so misty pale,
So cool and fragrant fresh, Just now,
Has added radiance to its soul,
And thousand notes wake and carol
Like morning prayers in every bOugh.
The wren sings forth 50 gay and blihe,
The humming bird with arrow flight
The honeysucklc greets.
The mockingbird's melod0us song
Is clearer, lovelier far, among
Ihcse early morning sweets.
For bright the dew from foliage drips
And flowers part their fragrant lips
And green look field and sod.
High up the red-bird's fervent call
In clear, loud notes above this all,
Sings forth his praise to God.
Man sleeps, while nature fresh and cool
These glorious hours for sage or fool
Unfolds in every place
Our South yields these refreshing hours
On every porch, mid trees or flowers
Rcplete with natures grace.
Then sleeper rise, with dewy morn.
These are the hours which so adorn
Our southland's tropic cline
Why search the North for joys like these
When home, with comforts, rest and eas,
Stamps hours like these sublime.
