Death, it seems, has no terrors for man
who is out of job, judging by the chances
he takes in earning an honest living
There is an illustration of this at the 70 OF
of Green street, where gang of workmen

In many instances masses of crumbling
rock, loosened by their own weight. have
come tunibling and crashing down the cliff.
Men have been killed there. yet this fact
does not deter others from taking chances.
At present the quarrymen are at work

between the top and bottom.

1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you've left undone,
winch gives you a bit OF heartache
AT the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten.
The letter you did not write.
The flower you might have sent dear.
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out OF brothers way,
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much TO say.
The loving touch OF the hand dear.
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for
With troubles enough OF your own.
The little act Of kindness,
SO easily out OF mind:
Those chances TO be angels
Which every mortal finds.
They come In night and silence,
Each chill, reproachful wrath.
When hope is faint and tagging,
And blight has dropped or faith.
For life Is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all two great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And It's not the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bit of heartache
AT the setting OF the sun.
