A HAPPY MAN.

We know a truly h>ppy man
And Of him we must tell;
His laughter sounds as pleasant
As a boarder's dinner bell.
He never says an angry word,
He always wears a smile
And everybody loves him
For the goodness Of his style.
He's always brave and cheerful
And is never looking blue,
He doesn't growl and grumblo
Like some other people do,
He doesn't tryto run tine world
Upon better plan,
He takes things as he finds EN-
As happy person can.
Although he isn't wealthy.
He don't worry for a cent,
In poverty or riches
He IS equally content;
He looks You squarely in the eyes
And firmly grasps your hand
And any act Of meanness
He can never understand.
He's never heard complaining
And is nervous not at all
He's always glad to see you
And you like to have him call
The birds are ever singing
In his heart forever light
And peaceful are his slumbers
When he lays him down O night.
In business he's successful
For he's always making friends;
His homeit is the sweetest
And its comfort never ends.
His wife can't help but love him
And his children do the same,
His neighbors all respect him
And are proud to spread his fame
The reason of his happiness
(Which anyone can share)
We think 1t right 10 mention
For the sake OF being fair;
This simple man is happier
Than any kings or queens
Because he has the courage
To live within bis means.
