"FZFSHS ' lUiiXUPHIMir THE END OF IT ALL,. THE HAMLET OF H06US PO. mmxBBsmmmifmmm The proud man, fat with the fat of the land. Dozed back in his silken chair; Choice wines of the world, black men to command, Rare curios rich and rare Tall knights in armor on either hand Yet trouble was in the air. The proud man dreamed of his young days, when He toiled light-hearted and sang all day. He dreamed again of his gold and men Grown old in his service and hungry and gray. Then his two hands tightened a time; and then They tightened, and tightened to stay ! Ah, me ! this drunkenness worse than wine ! This grasping with greedy hold ! Why, the poorest man upon earth, I opine, Is the man who has nothing but gold. How better the love of man divine, With God's love manifold ! They came to the dead man back in his chair, DuBk liveried servants that come with the light; His eyes stood open with a frightened stare; But his hands still tightened as a vice is tight. They opened his hands nothing was there, Nothing but bits of night: Joaqoin Milleb. SATURDAY NIGHT. When Saturday comes and the end draws nigh, Or a wees goes out to the sea, Do you then look back with a sorrowful sigh, Or expect to go off on a spree? When the day is done and the shadows Blow Creep around your empty table, Do you think of the days that yet will go, And the hearse and shroud so sable? Or do you sit there, . In bright sun's glare. Gloating with gormand's fill; With never a care If you creditors swear About that unpaid bill? If you do, young man, this old gentleman who is talking would admonish you to brace up. Get a move upon yourself. Of course, you are moving now; moving rapidly down the hill of life going certainly to an uncertain destiny but who knows where? Did you take a day off yesterday? It was not cold, a little damp. And if you did, "id you figure out where you made some blunders in the six days that unwound and leaped into eternity, "Know thyself." It was written well of old, and yet precious few of the countless millions ever try to get acquainted with themselves. The world is not all shadow it hath its griefs and its sorrows yet the sunlight the golden sunlight of God, pierces through the banks of clouds which are sorrow; pierces thr nigh the bleak and diemal mist which spreads its gloom and happiness is in store for all and all the only requirement to possess it being, do good. Al Faibbbother. On the thirty-secoud day of the thirteenth month, on the eighth day of the week, On the twenty-fifth hour and the sixty-first minute, we find all things that we seek. They are there in the limbo of Lollipop land, a cloud island and resting in air. On the nowhere side of the Mountain of Mist, in the Valley of Overthere.
