ST, PETER AND "YELOCALD POET.

One day ST. Peter, clothed in slate,
sat patiently at Heavens gate,
His duty there to look about
And keep all base intruders out
His head was bent, his eyes were closed
In fact, for once st. Peter dOzed.
While thus he sat and sweetly slept
A ghastly, ghostly form crept;
. A form scarce human-less divine
That slowly tOiled the steep incline
Until, with lips that snelled of beer,
1t whispered In st. Peters ear.
"Eh?' gasped the saint, in great surprise,
AS he awoke and rubbed his eyes,
You seek the mansions OF the blest?
You longing for the heavenly Test?"
Indeed It's true THE Shape replied:
Twas but to gain this rest died.
Ny life on earth was one oftoil
From which in death sought sssoil.'
What work engaged you on the earth?
None enter here of doubtful worth.
What benefits have you bestowed
ST. Peter asked, along your road?"
I'll was on the Daily Press,
A writer-if must confess
And one of those whom folk abuse
If they but differ in their views
An editor? Then walk right in
The Shape put on brOadened grin,
Rejoicing DER his happy fate
To see the saint unbar the gate.

And fed their minds on trash and chaff,"
The Shape replied: - made up rhymes,
And now and then wrote sense betimes."
"NOw, by my keys, and crook, and CROWN"

Your sinnings and your deep disgrace.
There is a seattle lowest one
Prepared for you since Time begun;
