Compensation


Poetic justice. raw and strong.
That is the kind you draw
When you are guilty OF a wrong
That is not against the law.
Suppose your temper you mislay
And rave and throw a 1T
About the food. that very day
The hired girl may quit
You take advantage OF a chap
Who isn't over bright,
And coax him gently in a trap
That robs him left and right
And as you lead him to the deep.
To push him Ger the brim.
He gives his arm a careless sweep
And drags you in with him.
You scold a boy who by mistake
May step upon your corn:
His little heart begins 20 ache
AS he receives your scorn.
When something rough to him you d.
At almost nothing riled,
He may. when you are out OF View,
Make faces at your child.
Evict the widow from her cot
Because the rent is due;
Doubt not that fate at once viii plot
To get IL back on you.
1t may take years 10 right the wrong.
But later. by and by.
AS swift the seasons roll along,
Your cat or dog may die.

PERT PARAGRAPHS.

THERE are some of us keeping UP
appearance so strenuously that we
may have to do the disappearing act
in order to average things up.
Sometimes a man marries in order 70
have some one TO brush his clothes.
The independent individual is apt to
have heap of selishness laid to his
charge.
Graft by any other name would prob
ably pay as well.
The man who dislikes to work sci
dom is averse to working others.
Nothing is more amusing than Q
small man in a big stew.
The bigger the salary the less the
man is inclined to talk about IL.
Debt must be a delightful place, for
people rush wildly into it and come
out very slowly.
Many a rich man is but a poor sim
ner.
TIL every worst kind Of dinner <
one that is too good.
