HoW TO SUCCEED

Marcy with the fiaxen hair
Sat the picture of despair.

Add results. and by eleven
Multiply-oh nc, divide-
And / don't know what beside.
Oh, this horrid, hOrrid sum!
Right l cannot make IL come"
SO said Marcy, with sigh,
Crying: "'Tis no use to try"
Gray-haired grandma. sitting near,
Heard the sigh and saw the tear.
"Margy darling. hither come:
Let me see thy 'horrid sum-.
Scanning all the work she saw
Here a slip and there flaw.
"Ah. my Marcy, plain to see
Why the figures don't agree.
Little maid, thy sore distress
Is the fruit of heedlessness."
.'Oh, but grandma. have tried
Just as hard.' poor Marcy cried;
But the naughty figures go
Somehow always wrong, you know"
Then, to her supreme dismay,
Grandma sponged the work away,
And. for Margy's eyes to read,
Wrote in letters large and plain:
III at trst bO,t don't succeed,
Try, and try, and tru d0dtn."
When the wise old saw she read,
THANK you, grandma dear" she said.
Then with bright and cheerful air
Worked the sum with double care,
And the answcr-happy sight
Came at last exactly right.
Now" the little maiden cried,
Laughing, in her girlish pride,
when my naughty sums go wrong,
TRY again shall be my song"

occurs in about three. fathoms or
