A Day's News.
Murder, carnage, dead and dying,
Stories of the people trying ,
To do something good or .bad "
Boost a creed or start a fad.
Gossip of society.
Scandal and propriety,
Rumors heard in politics
Magnates at their usual tricks
Picture of the winning pug,
Fierce expression on bis mug
Little cullinga from the stage,
Warm enough to scorch the page,
Eke the doings of some men
Who would languish in the pen,
'Stead of posing where the light
Beats upon them, strong and bright,
Fashion notes and beauty hints,
Crime in latent shades and tints,
Cable news sent o'er the sea, . .
Mostly from that gay Paree.
All tbe news heard 'neatb the sun.
What's to be and what is done,
Flaming headlines, big, black type,
Here a red or yellow stri re, .
Fun and pathos, tragedy
All of life's bold strategy
Much excitement, thrills to burn,
Every other page you turn.
Reading papers day by day
Beats a blood and thunder play.
