MAN
In youth ho wastes his energy by
madly running riot;
Wherever danger seems to lurk he
ventures to defy it;
He scorns the good advice he gets
and will riot brook restraining,
And temperance 'he deems a thing
fit only for disdaining.
In early manhood he begins to gain
a, little reason
Then falls in love and so become be
fuddled for a season;
He toils by day and woos at night,
dejected or elated,
And robs himself of healthful rest
until he's safely mated.
Through middle age he works and
schemes, spurred, by the high am
bition. To' cease to have to occupy a hired
man's condition;
He eats hiB meals in eager haste; all
needful rest refusing.
Too much absorbed for pleasure, and
his health and strength abusing.
At last, If he haa wisely wrought or
been by luck attended,
He may be rich enough to quit, his
daily toiling ended;
But then, alas, he may not eat the
pastry set before him,
Nor drink, nor smoke, and rest and
life are things that, merely bore
him.

teacher was trying to make him at
homo.
''And so your name is George
Washlngtonr" Bald the teacher,
"Yassum. Jorgo Washin'ton."
"And I suppose you try to bo as
like him as a little boy can, don't
you?"
"Lak who, mam?"
"Llko Gcorgo Washington." .
Tho youngster looked puzzled.
"Ah kain't help bein' lak Jorgo
WaBhln'ton," ho replied stoutly,
