ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE AVERAGE MAN.

His face had the grim look OF granite,
AS wrinkied and Drowned with the sun
As tho coat on his poor narrow shoulders
Aud his hands showed the work he had dom
For his wife and the babe on his bosom,
Yet he smiled through his pallor and tau
In patient, sad way, as II saying:
I'm only the average man.
81 can't be a hero OF poet,
Nor General, decked with crown;
I'm only a badly-paid servant
For them set above me, I'm down,
An it's no use complaining.
Til git along the best way can
But one o. these days IL come mornin'
An hope fr the average man."
AS looked on this wistful-eyed toiler
A fire flashed into my brain,
And cried from my hearts deepest center
Above the wild roar OF the train:
81 have seen the hero OF battles,
Ihaye looked on the hand for the plan,
The mightiest force OF the world Is
The arm OF the average mani
"He wages all battles and wins them,
He builds all towers that soar
From the heart and the heat Of the city;
His hand sets the ship from the shore,
without him the General is helpless,
The earth but place for Slan.
He moves oil and builds all and feeds oil,
This sad-smiling average mani"
Then lifted my hand in promise.
With teeth hard-set and my breath
Held close in my throat, as uttered
In q vow that shall outlive death:
81 swear that the builder no longer
To me shall be less than the plan;
Henceforth, give honor ind glory
Being Just TO the average man"

The proprietor of fashionable
west end hotel does not receive young
ladies who are unaccompanied by
chaperons, even though they hail from
the United States. The other day
saucy young damsel from Boston went
bowling along Piccadilly in high spir-
its and spick and span new hanson.
The fetching" combination pulled up
at the hotel. She bounced in
and asked if she could have a room
for the night. Before the clerk could
twist smile to decorate his regrets
that every apartment in the house
was engaged the young lady snapped
out: "My mamma will be here to-
night from Liverpool. I've telegraph
ed for her."
ooh, very well, in that case you
can, perhaps, be accommodated"
gently suggested the clerk. The new
arrival went on in voice tremulous
with irritation. perhaps you'd like
to send for my father, too, and my sis
tiers and my cousins, my aunts and a
grandfather or two"
Mamma will answer the purpose
nicely" the clerk replied with sereni-
ty.
90, am glad of that" replied the
Boston lassie with toss of the head J.,
because if it will appease your sus-
spicions as to who | am, can show
you my visiting cards, certificate of
birth, the pedigree of my family for
three generations back and the vacin-
alton mark on my right arm" The
clerk bowed humbly, and the young
lady tretted off to her apartment
