 If nobody's sighted you you must be tall,
 Ifnobody's bowed to you, you must be low,

The World Would be the Better for 1t

The World Would be the Better for 1t If men cared less for wealth and fame, And less for battle fields and glory; If writ in human hearts, name, Seemed better than in song or story; If men, instead of nursing pride, Would learn to hate 1t and abhor it.
 If more relied
 On love to guide, The world would be the better for it.. If men dealt less in stocks and lands, ard more in bonds and deeds fraternal; If loves work had more willing hands To link this world with the supernal; If men stored up loves oil and wine, And on bruised human hearts would pour it;
 If "yours'' and "minen
 Would once combine, The world would be the better for it. If more would act the play of life, And fewer spoil it in rehearsal; If bgotry would sheathe his knife Till good became more universal; If custom, gray with ages grown, Had fewer blind men to adore it--
 If talent shone
 In truth alone, The world would be the better for it. If men were wise in little things Affecting less in all their dealings; If hearts had fewer rusted strings 4 To isolate their kindly feelings: If men when wrong beats down the right, Would strike together and restore it.
 If right made might
 In every fight, The world would be the better for it.

To which an exchange paper adds; And remember, though fleece In the plural is feeces, That the plural of goose Aren't GoosEs nor GEEsEs. We may also be permitted to add: And remember, though house Iu the plural is houses, The plural of mouse Should be MICE and not mouses
