A HYMN FOB FOOLS.

EEEtM. @SS~I
Oh, for a faith that will not shrink
Though pressed by every foe;
That will not tremble on the brink
OF poverty and q
That will not murmur nor complain
At the DEGREES of fate,
But in the hour of grief and pain
Will vote the ticket straight.
A faith that lever knows or cares
For either right or wrong,
But on its hind legs upward a
And bellows good and strong.
Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And hold us to the rules,
And then we'll know the awful bliss
Of being dousted fools.

POVERTY.

] inherited a big bunch of poverty,
and have held onto my inheritance
with great tenacity, even as a puppy
holdeth on to a beef bone. I have
studied many ways to get rid of my
poverty, but up to the present writ
ing have not been able to either
sell it or give it away Poverty is a
kind of property that seems to be a
drug on the market. Everybody APP
pears to have as much poverty as
they can use, except Rockegee and
Carnefeller, and although they man
ufacture it for other folks, they
haven't a bit to call their own.
