The Jolly Fellow n SubJec' io' h"s
Rather than Envy.
Despite general opinion to the con-
trorv the most miserable and misery
creating of men upon earth is the loyiai
man. We remember him at school MS
expressive arch lips, his handsome ever
changing face, his bright swift eye III
ways seeking for the applause they
we're 80 sure to win. A merry do8,a
sad dog from his mothers knee, he led
us upon all those jolly truant rambles
which aiterward cost so dear; he pro-
duced and fostered that contempt iof
earnest plodding industry when mas
cost foo many of us dearer still. Cold
fidelity and patience and ambition
melted like snow under the hot sun
beams of his genial raillery. The youth
was os the boy. His glorious, health
drumming presence, the readiness ana
versatility of his talents, made hlm the
nride and envy of his fellows in the col"
Iepe or in the office, and thepetted darl-
ing of MI girls fortunate enough 10
{ know him. Conquering and to conquer,
$ like n new Apollo, he lashed forward
b. his horses of the sun; go generous; 81
+ open hearted, there was no one puC
a wished him God.speed, no one put gave
l. him the hearty cheer he looked PACK 81 ,or
over over the dust Of his whirling wheels. 100
