PRIDE.
BY JOHN q. SA xE I.

BY JOHN @. SAKE.
IT'S curious fact as ever was known.
But often in human nature shown,
Alike in the cas- lie and cottage,
That pride. like pigs of a certain brood,
Will manage to live and thrive on food
As poor as pauper pottage!
or all the notable things on earth.
The queerest thing is the pride of birth,
Among our fierce democracy p
A bridge across a hundred years,
Without prop ~ save 1t from sneers-
Not even couple ~ rotten piers
A thing for laughter, filings ana jeers,
Is American aristocracy
Depend upon it, snobbish friend,
Your family thread You can't ascend,
without good reason 10 apprehend
You may ind it waxed on the other end
By some plebian vocation
Or worse than that, your boosted line
May end in a loop of stronger Irvine,
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish In worldly affairs,
Do not be naughty and put on airs,
With insolent pride Of station
Don't be proud and turn up your hose
At poorer people In palmer clothes,
But learn for the sake OF your minds repose.
That all proud flesh, wherever it grovs.
