iHTORY!
THE HOUSE BY THE SIDE OF
THE ROAD
Thero aro hermit souls that livo
withdrawn
In tho peace of thoir self-content;
Thero aro souls like stars, that shine
apart
In a fellowless firmament.
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where tho highway never ran,
But let me livo by the sido of tho
road,
And be a friend -to man J
Let me live in a house by the side
of tho road
Whore tho race of men go by,
Tho men that are good, and the men
that aro bad
As good and as bad as I.
Why should I sit in a scorner's seat,
Or hurl a cynic's ban?
Let me live In a house by tho side
of tho road,
And bo a friend to man!
I see from my house by tho sido of
tho road,
By the side of tho highway of
life,
The men that press on with the
ardor of hope
And tho men that are faint with
strife,
But I turn not away from their
smiles nor their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan.
Let me live in a house by tho side
of the road,
And be a friend to man!
I know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead,
And mountains of wearisome
height,
And the road passes on through the
long afternoon,
And stretches away to the night;
But still I rejolco when the
traveller's rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that
moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of
the road
Like a man that dwells alone.
Let me live in a house by tho sido
of tho road,
Where the race of men .go by;
They aro good, they are bad, they
are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish, and so am I.
Then why should I sit in a scorner's
seat,
Or hurl a cynic's ban?
Let mo live in a house by the side of
the road,
And bo a friend to man!

TOO MUCH
Two copy boys on the New York
Evening World were having an acri
monious discussion one afternoon as
they sat on their bench next to the
city editor's desk.
"I guess they never named any
towns for you," said one.
"Maybe not," said the other; "but
there's a town up yonder in New
England named for you, all right."
"What town is that " asked tho
first boy, falling into tho trap.
"Marbfehead," said the other.
At this point the first blow was
struck. Saturday Evening Post.
