ALTRuIsM.

When cream is ninety cents a quart,
And new-laid eggs are soaring.
And butter--of the milder sort
Necessitafes ignoring.
We say, askance, "Juat think Of THAR
And eat our bread with bacon tat.
But when our neighbors come to dine
We don't consider prices.
But give them courses eight or nine.
From oysterN up to ices,
You'd never dream the purse was limp
For then we buy US cream galore.
And mushrooms out of season.
And fatted birds-though prices soar
Beyond all rhyme or reason.
Champagne and festive fizz abound.
And hired walters gallon round
IT'S thus that we exemplify
The love we bear our brother.
And cheerfullv ourselves denv
That we may feed each other,
obeying both the Goiden tt1ie
And modern altruistic school.
