A MONOPOLY.

wouldn't mind the work have to do,
/ wouldn't yearn to put my tasks
away,
l wouldn't fret to travel far and view
The wonders of the world; |
wouldn't pray
For blessings such as fortune sends to
those
Who spend their time in leisure, who
Each day have newer pleasures to pur-
sue,
Who know naught Of the weary
toiler's woes;
/ wouldn't nina the work have to do
If all the rest were forced to labor too
