OUR TALE OF WOE.
The trials and worries of an editor's
life
Are worse than having a scolding wife;
We hardly puss through a single day,
But some one tells us what to say.
A Fleming man will find fault
And says our politics are good for
naught;
A Ilardwiiman, to make things
complete, with both
Then jumps on us feet.
But we learned early in our life
The impossibility of pleasing all in a
strife,
And as we don’t propose to do any
. We have backbiting sides do their
let both own
writing.
Throughout this congressional fight
We have tried to treat both sides
right,
We’ve left them to fight it out alone.
For we have political troubles of our
own.
