As fast as ooe place is filed, another one gives out and they're as bad at ever. What they ought to do is lo throw the old ooe awy and ask the Lord to give them a new one." "And would ho do it?" questioned my little brother eagerly. "Of course he would," said the linker "Doo't it say in I lie good Hook lhat he'll mako os new crcniuns?

The truth is that the public the can didates for public office included has been taught to consider the weekly news paper as a thing to run at the expense of the owner for the personal and free use of the aforesaid public, and great offense would be felt if the publisher dared to say that he ought lo be paid something for publishing items which are of no general public interest. Very often too, the people who ask the paper for tho most favors are those who are neither advertising patrons nor pay ing subscribers.

W, M Ci hen We wandered in the shadow of the pines, my love and I, As the wind was blowing freshly from the sea; But a sudden fitful darkness stole across the summer sky, Ana a shadow came between my love and me. Some hasty words were spoken, and then almost unawares Hasty answers to unthinking anger led, Aud our heartsick, bitter longing, and our weeping and pray'rs Ne'er can make those false and cruel words unsaid. (chorus.) Come back to me, sweetheart, and love me as before, Come back to me, sweetheart, and leave me nevermore, In life's dull pathway the sun no longer shines, Come, love, meet me, in the shadow of the pines. You took the ring I gave you, nor cast a glance at me, And you held theiewel d trinklet in your hand; And then you turn'd and toss'd it in the waters of tho sea, Where the waves were splashing idly en the sand, You went your way, unheeding tears I could not hide, You went your way, and not a word was said, But my stubborn heart was breaking, underneath its mask pride. And the pine trees sobb'd in pity overhead. I wake from bitter dreaming, but to call aloud your name; 1 sleep again to dream of you once more; And my stubborn pride has left me, I admit I was to blame; 1l ! 1 l l 1 l- rorgiveme, uear, ana tove me as oeiore. For the future is o'shadow'd with the darknes of despair, In the sky of life, love s sun no longer shines, And I'd give tho whole world gladly once again to meet there, Reunited in the shadow of the pines.

" 00 0, why should the spirit of mortal be proud ? Like the swif t-tieeting meteor, a fast flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, Man passeth from life to his rest in the grave. The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade, Be scattered around, and together be laid; As the young and the old, the low and the high, Shall crumble to dust and together shall lie. The infant a mother attended and loved, The mother that infant's affection who proved, The father that mother and infant who blest Each, all, are away to that dwelling of rest. The maid on whose brow, on whose cheek, in whose eye Shone beauty and pleasure her triumphs are by; And alike from the minds of the living erased Are the memories of mortals who loved her and praised. The head of the King, that the scepter hath borne; The brow of the priest, that the miter hath worn; The eye of the sage, and the heart of the brave Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave. The neasant. whose lot was to sow and to rean: The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the steep; The beggar who wandered in search of his bread Have faded away like the grass that we tread. So the multitude goes, like the flower or weed, That withers away to let others succeed ; So the multitude comes, even those we bohold, To rjHt evry tale tlint, ban often ben told. For we are the same our fathers have been; We see the same sights our fathers have seen; We drink the same stream, we see the same sun, And run the same course our fathers have run. The thoughts we are thinkinsr our fathers did think: From the death we are shrinking our fathers did shrink ; To the life we are clinging our fathers did cling, But it speeds from us all like the bird on the wing. They loved but the story we cannot unfold; They scorned but the heart of the haughty is cold, Some of the papers are discussing the origin of the tunc and the original words of the long "Yankee Doodle." We think the words of tho song beginning "Yankee Doodle came to town upon pony, Stuck a feather in his cap and called him self maccaroni,' were wiitten by some court wit during the Hanoverian reign iu ridicule uf dudes who camo from the American colony who had come to "town," that is, London, and were pulling on airs the Loudon dudes did not like. The tuno lo the song is as old as the reign of Charles II at least. During his reign there was oom nosed a ribald song on two of the court ladies which began "Lucy Lockett lost her pocket; Katio Fisher found it," etc. which was sung to the same tune Yankee Doodle. t he word maccaroni was a terns ap plied to fops or dandies in London in the Eighteenth oentury.

And generally the editor is just "dead easy" and gives away his space and paper to gratify the vanity of some individual who is far more able to pay for them than the editor is to give them away. They do not oonsider that the printers, the tax collector, the rent, the groceryman aod others have to be paid with hard cash which must come from somewhere. But the editor goes on from day to day doing his acts of charity expecting nothing and realizing fully his expectations. Mayhap the day will come hen a newspaper man can do business like other people; but it is bis own fault for not getting paid for his honest work, like other professions or business.
