A Sona for To-day.

- oOU8 IOr tO'odys
Here's song for the man who is willing
to do.
And a hope MAT he never may die!
He stands ready to serve every need that
is true,
And he never does murmur or sigh;
And he smiles on his way and Is happy
and gay,
And was never so glad in his life as to-
day.
He mourns not and grieves not for past
that Is spent.
But looks up with smile full OF cheer;
For he works in the now, and Is fully
content
Just to hammer away in his sphere;
And he sings and is gay in his whole
hearted way,
And was never so happy before as to-day.
And the future holds never a worry for
him,
For he bridges the deep as he goes
And he laughs as he quaffs from ines
beaker, abrim
And he Strengthens. and smoothens. and
brightens the way.
BY living and laughing and doing to-day.
So a song for the man who Is willing to
do,
And a wish from the heart OF godspeed
May he never grow tired, may he always
prove true,
And the Joy Of content be his need!
May the world feel the sway OF his work
and his way,
And prove true that the happiest day Is
to-day
