Honest and Happy.

There's much in the world that is doubtful
There's much we shall ne'er understand
Why virtue shonId live in PooRHoUsE.
And vice on "the FAT OF the land"
For those who are fretfu! and peevish
This duty remains to fulfil
Bet try 10 be HONEST and HAPPY,
And lie, the world do as il will.
The poor man who walks upon crutches
May often be envied, far more
Than he who in splendid apparel
Can shu, on the beggar his door.
;Ie cares moi for clarel and sherry
OF vents on he has not his fill,
y et tries 10 be honest and happy,
And let's The world do as il will
lie buasieth no lordly possessions,
No livery al table TO wait
He makelh no hollow professions
To cheat his friends, sooner or late;
He ruins no hard-working tradesman,
Who gets but curse for his bill
But tries to be honest and happy,
And let's the world do as il will.
The frail one who roams through the city,
The jest OF the ihoughtless and gay,
No folly to him can attribute,
No charge TO his memory lay.
He breaks not The heart Of father,
He seeks not the injured TO kill
But strives to be honest and happy,
And lets the world do as il will.
He Joins moi the bowl or the wassal-
He seeks not the gambler or sot-
Conteniment and health are the blessing.
That daily recur TO his lot.
And willis, IN the midst of his children
Good precepts he tries to inslil--
He shows that he's honest and happy,
And let's the world do as il wilt
Oh! who then would grumble at fortune,
Though sorrow and toiling be,ids!
