'TWOULD BE EASY.

Dewey wouldn't a give his house to Mrs.
George D,
Hobson wouldn't a kissed his way from New
York to the sea,
Sampson wouldn't a snubbcd tn other gallant
commodore,
Alger wouldn't n bought tn beef that made
the awful roar,
In fact, none of these gallant men d ever made
mistakes,
An made themselves unpopular by such and
such bad breaks,
There'd never been q single hitch in all tho
public biz
If their foresight was as trusty as their hind
sight always is.
It'd be the finest universe that ever hung in
air,
There'd be no tears or sorrow, no bewailing or
despair,
We'd never bite at swindles, never lose at three
shell games,
The flies not get in syrup and the moths keep
out of flames,
We'd all DO rich, respectable, and live in wealth
and ease,
No trains be wrecked on land, no ships go down
into the seas,
Success would grow mOnOtOnOuS, prosperity
would sizz,
If our foresight was us trusty as our hindsight
always is.
