MY NE1aHBoRs OVER THE WAY.

I know where an old philosopher dwells-
A bearded cynic of wit and sense,
In broad white tent with curious cells,
On the sunny side of the garden fence.
lie passes his time In virtuoua ease,
Watching the world with many eyesi
And perhaps he is sorry when he sees
How his tent entansles the moths and ttes.
] have neighbor, a legal man,
We meet on the sidewalks every dayi
He Is shrewd to argue, to scheme and plan,
Is my legal neighhor over the wayi
He talks, perhaps, a trihe too much
But he knows "A vast deal more than /
We have In our village a dozen such,
Who do no labor-the Lord knows why.
But they cat and drink Of the very best,
And the cloth that they wear Is s0it anu
fine,
And they have more honey than all the rest,
With handsome houses, and plate ana WINE
And ponder at times, when tired and lame
How strangely the gifts of fortune iall
And wonder II we are not 10 blame
Who have so little, yet pay for all
Alas. for the workers through the land
Who labor and watch, but watch 100 long
who wear the vignr of brain and hand
In ufing pleAsurrs,nnd drink,and song
But my neighhor Is one who understands
All social riddles aud he explains
That some must labor with callous hhhusi
While others may work with tongue anu
brains.
Though he dosn't make it so very clear,
why he should fare much better than one
who does more work in a single year
Than he In all his life has donel
But he argues me out Of all dcmuf'
with logic that fogs my common sense;
! And think of the Old philosopher
Whose "shingle" hangs by the garden
fence.

that on the arrival of fresh flock this

slips out by secret door, and repeats
the operation on arrival of the next VIC
