The Only Way.

synpathy's noble virtue, but it grows
on fallow soil,
Softened by the tears of sorrow, mel
lowed by the sweat Of toll;
For it is a truth worth needing,
though to all it is not known,
That to feel anotler's troubles you
must have some of your own.
If in riches you are rolling, undis-
turbed by thought of care.
You can't Sense" the heavy burden
your poor brother has to bear;
If no thorns are in your pillow, if
your couch lies soft and light,
Can you realize his worries who lies
sleepless all the night?
No; your own heart must be broken
crushed and sore in fragments
lie,
Ere upon another's wounding you the
touch of healing try.
Oh, it is as true as gospel, though by
some folks quite unknown,
That to bear another's burdens you
must have some of your own.
There's but one way of helping this
poor struggling human race;
You must learn by full experience how
to fill your brothers place,
Lesson that the Masters learning
sanctifes for every one,
That to feel another's sorrows 70,
must have some of your own.

The Old Office Towel.


When I think OF the towel
The old-fashioned towel,
That used to hang up near the print
ing house door;
l can think of nobody
In these days OF shoddy
Who could hammer out iron to wear
like it wore.
The "devil" who used it,
The tramp who abused it,
The comp" who got at it when those
two we're gone;
The makeup and foreman,
The editor (poor man),
Each rubbed some CRIME off while
they put heap on.
In, over and under,
1t was blacker than thunder,
Harder than poverty, rougher than
sin;
On the roller suspended,
1t never was Bonded,
And tapped on the wall like banner
of tin.
1t grew harder and rougher,
And blacker and tougher,
And daily it took on more inky hue;
Till one windy morning,
Without any warning,
It fell on the floor and was broken in
two.

IS What Would Papa Take for Her?

What Would Papa Take for Her?
She was ready to sleep as she lay OH
my arm,
In her little frilled cap so fine,
With her golden hair falling out at the
edge,
Like a circle OF noon sunshine,
And I lunmcd the old tune OF "Ban-
bury Cross"
And "Thrcc Men Who Put Out to
Sea-"
When she slccpily said, as she closed
her eyes,
Papa, what would you take for me?'
And I answered "a dollar, dear little
heart
And she slept, baby weary with play,
But held her warm in my love-strong
arms,
And l rocked her and rocked away.
Oh, the dollar meant all the world to
me,
The land and the sea and the sky,
The lowest depths OF the lowest place,
The highest Of all that's high.
And the cities, with streets and palaces,
With their people and stores OF art,
I would not take for one low, soft
tllrob
OF my little ones loving heart;
Nor all the gold that was ever found
In the busy wealthfnding past;
Would stake for one smile OF my darl-
ing's face,
Did I know it must be the last.
So I rocked my baby and rocked away,
And felt such a sweet content,
For the words Of the song expressed
more to me
Than they ever before had meant.
And the night crcpt on, and 1 slept
and dreamed
OF things far too gladstone to be,
And I wakened with lips saying close
in my ear,
"Papa, what would you take for me?"

Keep Sweet.

Don't be foolish and get sour when
things don't just come your way
Don't be a pampered body and declare,

Just go grinning OH and bear it;
Have you lleartachc? Millions share
it;
Ii you earn crown, you'll wear it
Keep sweet.
Don't go handing out your troubles to
your busy fellow men
If you whine around they'll try to keep
from meeting you again
Don't declare that the worlds "agin
you.
Don't let pessimism win you,
Prove there's lots OF good stuff in
Keep sweet.
If your dearest hopes seem blighted
and despair looms into view,
Set your teeth and whisper grimly,
Though they're false, yet I'll be
true"
Never let your heart grow bitter,
With your ear to hopes transmitter
Hear loves song-birds bravely twit-
ter,
keep sweet"
Bless your heart, this worlds good
one, and will always help man,
Hate, misantEropy, and malice have no
place in natures plan.
Help your brother there who's sigh

Keep his flag OF courage flying,
Help him try-'twll keep you try

O., come to the west,
Where the cor1norants nest,

Where the air it is pure,
And travellers secure,

And winsome and witty,
Beautiful as ever you did see;

My fond heart all the while
I'm around by the caves OF Kilkee.

On the golden horizon you'll see,
There's no scene in Clare

Like the beautiful caves of Kilkee.
