SELECTION OF VERSE.
Life Is Dut a Span.


Thar ain't no use to borrow trouble,
I'r life is but d span.
So when it comes jest grin and bearit.
And prove yourself a man;
Don't worry others with your sorrows,
They've troubles OF their own;
Yes, ten to one they're overloaded.
But never make it known.
Perhaps you feel you're up again it,"
And think your luck is hard;
Jest take a look at others round you
You hear me talking, pard?
You'll be surprised if you but notice
The faces that you scan
Are not all glum and God-forsaken,
Though life is but a span.
So thank the Lord and smile your brightes
AS DER life's trail you rush,
Always ready to help brother
And git him in the push"
Thar are others who've known misfortune
Ever since life began;
So don't git blue and feel downhearted
Cause life is but a span.
