THE ROANOKE NEWS, THURSDAY, JUNE 15, 1S93.
OXE SAD DAY.
Oue sad day when the sun's gold crowu
Jewelled the desolate, dreamy west,
I came with a burden and laid it down
Under the lilies and leaves to rest ;
And, weeping', I left it and went my way
With the Twilight whispering: "God
Vqows best !"
One sweet day it was long ago,
And thorny the paths my feet have
pressed
Since with tears and kisses I laid it low,
Soul of my soul and life of uiy breast'.
But kneeling now in the dark to pray,
There comes with a song from the
sunless west
The same sweet voice that I heard that
day
The Twilight whispering: ''God knows
best!"

ABOUT SLEEPING.
Sunshine is good for everything
feathers.
but
Away with heavy hangiugs, either
above or below the bed.
Beware of a dusty, musty carpet; bet
er sweetness and a bare floor.
Editing a newspaper is a pleasant
business if you can stand it.
If it contains many advertisements sub
scribers complain that they take up too
much space.
If there is a lack of advei rising it is
unpopular and the people won't have
it.
If we attend church regularly they
say we go for effect.
If we stay away from church they say
we are monstrously heathenish.
If we accept an invitation to a wedding
they say we were invited to "write it
up."
If wo go to the opera house they say
we go on free tickets.
If we are seen on the street too often
they say we neglect our business.
If we avoid going upon the street
i Ivy say we don't hustle around after
news.
If we reject a long communication
its author gets furiously enraged and
discontinues his paper.
If we publish lengthy communications
our readers say we lack ' discretion and
put in every thing to "fill up."
If we neglect to decorate our office
Washington's birthday they say we lack
enterprise and that there is not a drop of
patriotic blood in our degenerate carcas
ses. If we swell out in a new suit of clothes
and celebrate groundhog day they say we
got our clothes in payment for adver
tising and that we are by far too foppish.
If, in our frailty, we sometimes perpe
trate a joke or make a stagger at a poor
little pun, they say we are exceedingly
light and won't do.
If we omit jokes they say we are poor
miserable fossils.
If we are married they they say it is a
pitty for our wives.
If we are not married they fay it is
because we are too homely to get a
wife.
If we publish a man who has brought
disgrace upon his family, the friends of
the family never forget us.
If we, out of goodness of heart, decline
to say anything on the subject the man's
enemies are disappointed, and we are
branded as white-livered cowards.
We are able to stand those raps and
many more, and are always ready to re
ceive visitors whether accompanied by a
dog or not.
( )f course we do not claim there is
any work to runniug a newspaper; every
one knows it is a snap.
