Edited Poetry.

Probably no class of men are thrown
into more intimate relations with poets
than editors of newspapers. A hand
made. patent poet came into this office
recently, and he had his manuscript
with him. He cleared his bronchial
tubes, threw on few trembly, flute
vox harmonico and other staps, and
commenced:
"Under the willow maiden fair,
Was braiding her wealth. OF yellow hsir."
That won't jibe with the tone Of this
paper we said, sharply.
1t won't@ inquired the poe. in
tone of surprised suddenness.
why, no; don't you realizs that this
journal ISN'T secondhand music box:
The rythm is all right enough, but you
don't seem to catch on the true ring.
Don't you think this would do better?
"Down in the kitchen a maiden fair
Out Of the hash was picking hair"
We'll. possibly, the way you put it,
said The poet, shifting uneasily IN his
chair
why. OF course it would. Give US
the next stanza.'
"she thought Of the flowers. the stars above,
And then she thought Of the power OF love-
Oh, she did, eh? Well, we shall
have to fix that up this way:
awhile thinking OF Mike, who was oft beside her,
She turned around and stepped in the spider"
The poor poet wiped away tear.
He saw at once that, with our strong,
practical commoa-sense views of life,
we had him at disadvantage, and he
couldn't help himself either. MARBLE
the next stanza.' we SAID curtly..-
Breathing hard like a painting horse,
just 10 from dash, the poor wretched
poet proceeded:
"The wind came up from the sunny south,
And kissed the maiden on check and mouth
That verse will do we'll enough if
you'll only make one little change in
it,
What is i?' inquired the perspiring
poet, frightening up tr.fs, and ex.
hlbitlng little more animation:
Say, you make it read this way;
"she grabbed it up with rosurly grow-el
And wiped 1t out with turkish towel"
That's quite little change said
the depressed poet. DO you think 1t
would improve itP'
Certainly. Swing in with the next
carmen
''The msden rose from her rustic seat,
And silently passed through the lonely street."
That's the close, be sal tlmidly and
With long sigh Of relief.
'Oh, that's the close, is il? Well, you
6nd we are right along with you. Just
alter that this way:
"Down on the girl the house wife bore
And fred her through the kitchen door
Now, you see, with the aid Of few
minor suggestions which we have made,
you can trim that thing Of yours into
some respectable kind Of shape. Beside
that, you have got poem which you
can split-a kind Of double -barrelled
poem and sell halt to one paper and the
other hall to another
The poet exhibited no little alacEity
10 preparing to tade his departure.

An exchange makes this suggestion
Tor business men: In all towns where a
newspaper Is published, every business
man ought 10 advertise in it, even II it
is nothing more than a card stating bis
name and the kind of business be is en-
gagged 10. 1t helps sustain a paper, and
lets the people out at distance know
that the town is tull OF business men.--
Tue paper finds its way into thousands
Of places where haudbills cannot reach.
A card in paper Is a travelling sign
board, and can be seen by every reader.
Think of these things and let your light
shine.'

POliteness.

Poileuess is something that costs
very little, and yet Yields rich return
in all the paths of life. A Richmond
paper tells OF a bOotblack who ia his
wanderngs had picked up good size

ond hand smoke. Passing a grocery
store which happened 10 be on the cor

The boy hesitated a moment aud flu
ally said:
well do you sell 'em?'
OF course we sell then,' was the re-
ply, and the clerk slid box over the
counter and raked 10 the whole sum Of
two cents, fshed out of The boys pock-
Ell.
There was lighting of the cigar
stub which was handled as gracefully as
if it had been a new and fragrant HaYa-
na, and the boy stepped forward aud
politely said
Please put these on your shelf and
the next time a gem'man asks you
for a match give Lin one out of my
box.'
That was all, aud yet the rebuke
could not Lave been more cutting # had
been administered vita the grocer's
sharpest cheese knife.
Before many years that boy will make
fortune. He will be the owner OF
that grocery and run for Congress while
.he present clerk will be a care-Sorn,

As you request toy;
Do you know the weight Of your demand
Ona mothers heart, my boyi
You say you love her wildly. Well.
VIII 1t last to the end Of time7
Or ill the ring Of the wedding bell
Resound its dying chime7
The heart you crave Is a holy thing.
So tender, trusting, true:
Can you to her devotion bring
As warm as here's to you7
viii love her through the changing years
As tenderly as now,
When ills shall pale, or sorrows tears
Becl0ud her sunny brow
When age shall bow her graceful form,
And bleach her jetty hair,
VIII you protect her through each storm,
And shelter her from carer
When time shall dim her sparkling eyes,
And winter burrows show,
VIII your love be the last to die?
II not, answer no.
Remember that her future life
Would every day be yours;
loving woman. when wife
To one that she sdores.
Has no existence Of her own
Apart from him she loves;
She lives henceforth for him alone,
And in his orbit moves.
She moulds her wishes TO his will,
Her ways to his desires;
He leads her by loves willing web
Through life's refining fires.
She walks with him through thorny fields,
And DER lifes rugged roadi
He is her idol and ideal,
Her guide and household god.
SO, II your love will live and burn,
And bless her future years;
fyou will give her in return
The trust that life endcsrs;
II you will guard her destiny,
And shield her from distress,
Will always live doring her
Why, then, answer Yes.
