THE COMPASS OF TIME"
BY WILLIAM WALLACE COOK

When old Father Time was youthful and gay
He fashioned a toy in his careless play
A compass. queerly constructed thing,
Encircled about by his lingering;
With nicely poised on the pivot of life,
And feeling the force of magnetic strife
Was the needle called man, which aimlessly
whirled
On a sectional card that was called the world.
The cardinal points of the world, Time held,
Which the human needle caught or repealed
According as lay it's magnetic aim,
We're Wisdom and Riches Degree and Fame.
But the maynard needle whirled by them so
strong
That its hold upon life came near getting wrong.
And the wrinkles appeared on Times youthful
brow
AS he Sought to reason the why and the how.
At last he cried: az see my mistake
Ills one tn at lifetime often may makeI
For something higher this needle strove;
For Riches and Fame read Duty and Lover
Then he eagerly gazed at the wavering man
AS he quivered and shook and round the card
ran.
The riddle was solved, as the card stood amend
ed
Tween Duty and Love the needles course end

which it secretes is more liable to vitiation
than any other of the animal fluids. Luck
lily for the bilious, however, there is an un-
