THE COUNTRY EDITOR

Verify the life of a country
editor is a path of thorns.
His bread is promise and
his meat is disappointment,
His creditors chase him by
day and the devil grinneth at
him in his dreams by night.
One subscription in wood
and behold it is rotten and
soggy and of short measure.
Two young people marry
and he giveth them a great
puff; they 60 to housekeeping
and taketh rot his paper,
But he glideth along and
endureth in patience and it
is written he shall receive his
reward in TIE judgment,
And we believe it. Elk.
