LITERARY CURIOSITIES.
THE following humorous lines well describe the difficulty that editors find in pleasing the public. They are expected to know everything, and to be able to satisfy all tastes and capacities. No imperfections can be excused in conductors of newspapers; they are not even allowed to be unfortunate.
THE EDITOR.
That editor who wills to please, Must humbly crawl upon his knees, And kiss the hand that beats him; Or, if he dare attempt to walk, Must toe the mark that others chalk, And cringe to all that meet him.
Says one, Your subjects are too grave, Too much morality you have,-- Too much about religion; Give me some witch and wizard tales Of slip-shod ghosts with fins and scales, Of feathers like a pigeon.
I love to read, another cries, Those monstrous, fashionable lies,-- In other words, those novels, Composed of kings and queens and lords, Of border wars, and gothic hordes That used to live in hovels.
No, no, cries one, we've had enough Of such confounded love-sick stuff, To craze the fair creation; Give us some recent foreign news Of Russians, Turks, the Greeks, or Jews, Or any other nation.
The man of dull scholastic lore Would like to see a little more In scraps of Greek or Latin; The merchants rather have the price Of southern indigo and rice, Of India silks, or satin.
Another cries, I want more fun, A witty anecdote or pun, A rebus or a riddle; Some long for missionary news, And some, of worldly, carnal views, Would rather hear a fiddle.
The critic, too, of classic skill, Must dip in gall his gander quill, And scrall against the paper: Of all the literary fools Bred in our colleges and schools, He cuts the greatest caper.
Another cries, I want to see A jumbled-up variety, Variety in all things,-- A miscellaneous, hodge-pod print, Composed (I only give the hint) Of multifarious small things.
I want some marriage
