GOING. UP AND COMING Down,

This is a simple song, tits true
My songs are never over-nlce;
And yet I'll try and scatter through
A little pinch of good advice.
Then listen, pompous friend, and learn
Never to boast of much renown;
For fortunes wheel Is on the turn
And some 60 up, and some 60 down.
know, a vast amount OF stocks
A vast amount of pride insures;
But fate has picked so many locks,
wouldn't like to warrant yours.
Remember, then, and never spurn
The one whose hand is hard and brown
For'he is likely togo up,g Z. Gs@ -
And you are likely to come down. 80:
Another thing yon will agree
The truth may as well be confessed
That "Cod fish aristocracy"
Is but a scaly thing at best:-
And though the fish is large and strong
May seek the little ones to drown,
Yet fishes all, both great and small,
Are going:up and coming down. :.
Our lives are full of chance and change,
And change, you know, is never sure;
And 'twere doctrine new and strange,
That places high are most secure,
And though the tickle god may smile,
And yield the sceptre and the crown,
'Tis only for little while -
That B goes upand A comes down.
This world for you and me, my friend,
Hath something more than pounds and pence
Then let me humbly recommend
A little use of common sense.
Thus lay all pride of place aside,
And have care on whom you frown,
For fear you'll see him going up.
When you are only coming down.

"Yes, sir !'-"Agreed !-"I, vi, sir! !" and
various other expressions of acquiescence came
from every quarter of the room and, as a
preface to the new state of things, the school
was dismissed at an early hour, leaving the
boys to gaze into each others eyes in astonish-
ment, as if to divine in each others intui-
tion the answer to the riddle which had stol-
en- upon them as pleasant dream.
An anxious week followed-a week of Gu.
