these comfortable quarters for large
families.

You may get through the world,
but twill be very slow
If you listen to all that is said
as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted and.
kept in stew,
For meddlesome tongues must
have something to do,
And people will talk.
So the best way to do is to do as
you please,
For your mind, if you have one,
will then be at ease.
Of course, you will meet with all
sorts of abuse;
But don't try to stop them, its
not any use,
For people will talk.-Ex.
