SOUND ADVICE

you sish to be lawyer John--well III not say
word
Unless felt quite certain that your longings are
absurd;
don't wish to discourage you, but then | can I
consent
To board you, as I'd hey to do, and pay your Of
fee rent.
You've got set Of lusty limbs ana ordinary
head
And you are meant by common toll to earn your
daily bread
But thriving farm and pleasant home where man
and wife agree,
Beat any one-horse lawyers as 'far as you can
see.
IF you'd been born with talent. John, you'd long
since hey shown
That you had gifts by stealing of TO study books
alone,
NV, if you ever read book ! rally don't know
when,
Though, come to think, blieye you do sling #
somewhat legal pen.
BE wise my boy, the legal ranks more than
crowded now,
And half of them who starye therein were cut out
for the plow,
But they mistook pure laziucss for talent, under
stand
And help to Gil big supply where there was no
demand.
"Are they educated Yes, but here let me eN-
plain,
That seed that sown in shaky soil brings forth hut
little grain;
And this higher education TO an ordinary mind
I. like pair Of big gold specs upon man that's
blind.
There is no prolder place than twixt the han
dies of plow;
Though stumpy land has humbled me at times, |
must allow,
And as for human greatness, should think had
my share
If could take the prize for cows at our next
county fair.
Just emulate your sire, my son, and Just n sure
as fate,
You'll live to be respected though perhaps you
won't be great
But enter law, and five short years will clean you
out 80 bad
You1 have no recollection Of the last square meal
you had "
