HOW THE PAPERS MADE.

A youth from the hurly-burly street
Jams himself in a passenger hit;
And they shoot him stories high, to meet
Another, who bendeth DER a drift
OF copy. Who smokes and softly sWears
AS some ones poem he idly tears,
Or chuckles with mirth sardonlc;
He calls to Barrett and Jones and Flynn,
Brown and the one who has just come in,
And in the language, terse and
l%aconic,
Assigns them all
To city hall,
State house, central, game or bout,
Sermon, horse race, DOE race, club,
Lecture, banquet, ball or rout.
Write the news n not f~iub-dub,"
He adds at parting. So on his run
Goes each reporter undismayed,
The chase for copy has now begun,
And that's the way the papers made.
Over a desk, in another nook,
Pallid Dessimist pushes a pen,
Solemn as Poe's %lugubrious rock,
He writes a leader on "Public Men"
The telegraph chopper pastes and ships,
Reading one line to ten he skips,
With pipe in red eruption
And steadily up the copy goes
To the type machines, in stately rows-
A hot screed on Corruption"
A song of cheer,
A pun OF peer,
Bit of scandal in high life,
Interview with Gotthersocks,
p Story of devoted wife,
Paragraph on Jerry's socks
The mills so. grinding. The makeup
comes.
Growing because he learned the trade;
But he sorts the slugs with nimble
thumbs,
And that's the way the papers made
| A rush and a roar is heard below,
Where the hurried presses clang and
clash,
Throwing off twenty thousand or so
Each hour they run, while the newsies
dash
Adown the street with something to sci
That's advertised best by a newsie's yell
Paper, sir? Latest edition.
And pat, pat, pat, fall the folded sheets
Ready for sale on, the crowded streets,
And each with a special mission,
Away they go,
Like flakes of snow,
To meet in the throbbing crowd:
Eager each to C the news,
Toiler grim or magnate proud,
On a level all peruse ...
Politics, crime, society stuff"
Fact and folly and pasquinade,
While the presses struggle to print
enough,
And that's the way the papers made.

The Talk OF the Day.

Mr.. Tollemache tells in The Spectator
the following story of a little girl, which
he had, he says, at only one remove from
her own father: The child once went in
great distress to her mother, saying that
she had committed a sin which could
never be forgiven and which was too bad
to be repeated. BY dint of a little oaxing
she was induced to make q full confess
sion, which was in this wise: Il felt so
sorry for poor Satan and wanted to give
him a little comfort. So I got a glass OF
cold water and poured it down a little
hole in the kitchen floor

The boy carried a dirty bundle done up in
a piece of burlap. 'Hereth thoo thitten,"

remark, and drew back from the untidy
bundle. MY child, l don't know what

neral was held from the Holy Rosary
