A solitaire soliloquy:
1t was, II is, it is notl
And vet it ever will be the same
While time ticks off the seconds OF ex-
istence.
Today babe is born and hearts made
glad;
Tomorrow death claims all that was,
And Joy is turned to grief and sadness.
On goes the ceasless tide,
Out into the wide expanse OF watery
space
Hemmed in by skies which seem to touch
the outer edge.
"The King is deadl Long live the King"
Whose body laid on marble slab in costly
sepuchre
viii go the same as sturdy beggar in yon-
der morgue.
The king. the beggar! Hal ha!
Who shall say that both will not decay
And make fit trysting place for wormsf
Methinks with Putney's eyeglass fitted to
these eyes
Aud chance to see what can be seen,
might look farther into space
And thus learn more Of logic and philoso-
ply.
Putney did say7 That grand young man
Whose more than fifty birthdays do not
seem to count.
Whose smiles to all Is such treat
AT emporium IS Westminster street;
'Tis there the almost blind are made to see
BY tender of moderate fee.
But Why such thoughts of earthly things,
When into cloudland one can go,
And soar among the spirits fair,
And gain the warmth of summer glow,
To meet the good, to, shun the bad,
And have q regular row-de-dow
Horsed upon cycle fad?
A lightweight Orient or Victor rare,
Direct from Whitten, OF wheel fame,
Who in Infantry building deals so fair,
That all New England knows his name.
Again there comes another fad.
This time OF crepon, and such lovely
shade
That one is wont to think OF Ladd.
And girl who has dress made.
No paradox, but just the thing
For lad and girl who are well dresser
TO patronize and praises sing.
But back to king and beggar let us go,
Who yonder lie side by side,
Each without a mortal breath
And no dominion over death.
In life the king had sumptuous banquet
spread,
The beRgar had but cold crust OF bread.
Now both are dead.
Dead, said i? What's that?
An unsolved mystery for mortals here,
Who must ere long be ushered hence.
Why scoff, aud laugh, and chatter,
And show your teeth
Like grinning monkeys without sense?
Perhaps they ache and laughter eases
pain.r
Or Tillinghsst has treated them again.
His dental skill and knowledge great
OF fract ious molars as they ache
soon succImb 10 his will.
SO goes the world" the people say
Like ball In roulette wheel
That spins and slowly hesitates to drop
into the lacky spot.
You, like the king and begCar,
Live until life turns to death,
Both cease for want OF living breath.
OLD VET.
