The Editor and the Giraffe

An Editor was seated in a lofty Tower writing an Article on “Sweet William,” when a Giraffe, who was passing along the Street, poked in his Head at the Window and ravenously swallowed the Copy, with every Manifestation of Delight. The terrified Editor fled precipitately to the Beer Saloon in the Basement and after quaffing a Mug of Ale discovered that he had left his Pocket-book upstairs and did not know the Barkeeper who had served him.

Moral.—Thus we see the Folly of rushing to Extremes.
