WINTER HAPPINESS.
I I love'I he winter with her snow,
as down (lie world she lueters.
No Hies to swat, no lawns lo mow.
no battles with moskeeters. I
blithely carry in the coal, to make
the fireside cheery, and read about
the long lost pole, and Amundsen
and Peary. 1 gayly lake my trusty
lyre and seize a chair that tils me,
and play until 1 hurst a wire, or
till my grandma hits me. A man
can sit and close his eyes and
dream without a sore head: se
renely knowing that the flies wont
gnaw his nose or forehead. No
ehiggers will devour his limbs or
ants bring dire disaster: what
wonder that his joyous hymns
shake down a lot of plaster Oh,
Winter. I could sing your praise
in odes too long for printing. I’d
not curtail by one your days.
[ Keep up your merry minting. Pile
. up your clouds until the skies as
1 sume a dark complexion. Storm,
| rave and.howl, and freeze the flics
i too dead lor resurrection. You’ll
1 never hear me rant an carp be
cause von tilt and tourney: I'll
just sit here and slug my harp
and cheer you on your journev.
WALT MASON.
So Why Worry?
Are the trains too slow for you?
Caesar, with all of his court, nev
er exceeded the speed limit.
Are your wages too small? In
Europe people are content with
making a living.
Are the lights loo dim? David
wrote his psalms by the light of
a smoky torch.
Are you ugly? Cleopatra,
though homely, bewitched two
emperors.
Are you cold? The soldiers of
Valley Forge walked barefoot on
the ice and snow.
Are you hungry The children
of India are starving for want of
a crust of bread.
Are you tired? Why fret about
it? Jacob was tired when he
dreamed of the angels of heaven.
Are you sick? Suppose you had
lived 2000 years ago, when sick
. ness was fatal.
Are you Poor? The Savior of
men was not wealthy.
Cheer up. Praise God that you
live in the midst of his blessings.
