A Story from Paris.
Once upon, a time there were in Paris two papers, the Kazor and the Scorpion, which were always going for each other with great ferocity. Every week people bought the Razor to read how it cut at the Scorpion, and the Scorpion to learn how ifc itung the Razor. A certain philanthropist felt pained to see eueh violence, so lie invited the two editors to dine, in the hope that over good fare he could make peace between them. At the appointed time one lean, melancholy man pretexted himself, and was ushered in. After an interval, as no other guest appeared, the host demanded^
"May I ask. are you the editor of the Razor or tho Scorpion?" "Both," said the sad-eyed man.
