There is pleasure in work and in duty, With laziness out of the way A pleasure most healthful and healing That saves from the rust of decay. In this day of hustle and progress There's no time for fogy ideas, ADVERTISE IN OUR SPECIAT. EDITION, And you'll save the labor of years.

And a jar of tobacco, whose wealth /
