THE EDITORS REWARD.

The editor died and went to heaven,
But stood outside the gate,
Because he hadn't nerve to knock,
And thought that he would wait
Till some other mortals came along;
He'd then see what they'd do,
And if they entered the pearly gate
He thought he might slip through.
He watched the vast procession pass
Up to the portals wide;
While Peter told some they were IN
too high
And others he took inside.
The editor, weary of waiting so long
Finally got in line,
To see if Peter would accept him
then
Or would with thanks" decline.
He heard the sweet-faced angels sing
His eyes filled to the brim,
lie shivered and shook in agony,
Knowing his chances slim.
"Aha!" said Peter, IAN editor here?'
Tie laughed with pure delighD
why, certainly, you may come right
For all you did was write. Elk.
