THE CHANCE.
New York Herald.)

New York Herald.)
No man is born too late
To turn his back to hate;
We may not all be great
Or rich or wise.
The chances may be few
For winning fame, but who
Succeeds by gazing through
Ungrateful eyes?
Mankind has never had
Less cause for being sad
Nor more for being glad
Than we possess;
Ne'er has the world before
Encouraged kindness more
, Or had such gifts in store
For cheerfulness.
