Reversing with their talents bright al

With bricks in hats and grim toy rats, de-
vices to deceive,
U@til poor victims tempted are this QueeI
old world to leave,
Are not the only ones to watch to deftl3

Else what becomes of folks who fool, OIL
are fools, all the year?
The man who will not spend a cent or
books to make him think,
The man who wastes his substance q
betting book end drink;
The one who pulls hot chestnuts from somt
politicians fire,
Or one who by his chronic growls awakes
distressful ire;
The dude who minus brains or braWn dis.
plays but clack and clothes,
The doleful Ounce who treats US free ts
lists of walls and woes
The alleged funng man who simply re.
tails Gappish tales,
The Jerky, fusSy, rfusSy folks more wear
ing far than sHails,
And then their opposites who are SO poky
Q dull and slow,
That just to Svatch their wftIess ways fills
half the world with woe;
The fashionable Christians who wear slain
birds in their hats
And pretty girls who kisses waste on lsp
dogs, ours and cats.
The man who nothing knows, and he who
alNays knows it all,
Ihe babe who tur'iS a sermon to a new
kids fancy bawl,
The scandalmOnger Eith her barbeA and
pofson-pointed tongue,
The talking invalid who dwells upon his
single lung;
The Sleek church-goer who pretends tG
love his fellow man,

= ting all he can
The man whose maflc of manhood is the
gilded dollar-mark,
The sower of wild oats who goesoo many
a midnight lark
The patriot who serves his land by office
grabbing wiles,
And those who hide a hellish heart in hol-
low vanished smiles;
The parents who proclaim their BARNS the
finest ever born,
And all who say this world is but wilder
ness forlorn.
The greedy ones who want the earth and
several planets more,
The bluSterers who prance and prate and
tire us with their roar,
The pOmous ones who aSSeS' ears peep
from the lions skin,
The Sulky ones who in all joys would like
to stick pin;
The wise and we'll Ger April fools to shed

But how about the chronics who are fools
