THE WAY. OF THE WORLD.

....- Written for The Bee
| The way of the world is stony and steep
From it's dangers there is no guard;
And many who walk there have hearts that
| For the way Of the world is hard.
Where life's fond hopes were lost,
But the mourners may not stop nor stay
And they dare not count the cost,
There are always hills to climb;
While the blessing of sunshine is quickly
gone,
The way of the world has sudden turns
Where we meet or part with friends;
The MEETINGS are joys that sorrow earns,
The partings our struggling sends;
For we each must find the path alone
Through the darkness our haven hide,
On the way of the world no light is thrown
Whatever our souls betfde.
But flowers bloom beside the road
And love dispels fates frown:
When our strength no longer can bear our
We may lay our burden down;
For the way of the world is full of care
And crowded the busy street,
And be our legacy foul or fair
The passing of many feet
VIII crush the flowers cover the stain
And stihe our dying moan:
But there's sweet in the Bitter cup we drain
If 1t comes to our lips alone;
For although the way of the world is cod
Yet under our closest masks
There are truth and love that never grow
And they sanctify worldly tasks.

whole body of Nebraska veterans will
be up for consideration, and the pros
pect of an attendance fully up to eX-

While the various committees of ar
rangements have for several weeks been
busily engaged in completing the pre-
liminaries for this convention. it never
theless behooves all our people, and
particularly our business men, to exert
themselves in their own individual
spheres to make the visit of the guests
both pleasant and profitable. The
modest display of IL few flags and some
tastily draped bunting and cordial
greeting to the visitors will go far
toward making them feel that their
presence is appreciated. The veterans
should have it impressed upon them
that their encampment in the city offers
just as much enjoyment as the out-of
door camp and imposes vastly less in
discomfort and actual
The test of a hearty welcome is the
wish of the departing guest to return
and renew the acquaintance at an early
day. BY cordial treatment of the mem

who come to Omaha this week the
