The Boys and the Frogs

　　SOME editors of newspapers were engaged in diffusing general

　　intelligence and elevating the moral sentiment of the public. They

　　had been doing this for some time, when an Eminent Statesman stuck

　　his head out of the pool of politics, and, speaking for the members

　　of his profession, said:

　　"My friends, I beg you will desist. I know you make a great deal

　　of money by this kind of thing, but consider the damage you inflict

　　upon the business of others!"
