THERE WERE SEVEN.

There humans, and one fool
 Another the head of country school; The third who had dance the brain, The fourth a crook, and the fifth insane. The sixth preacher, the seventh knave, And they all bound for the self grave. Tbe fool, the time whirled away
 Became wise man. honored and gray The schoolmaster worked from his low position, And tried to become great politician; The of the dance brain fell behind; the crook Became priest, with his cowl and Book. The crazy man, he recovered his mind.
 While the knave took to saying his felowkind; And only stuck to his trade of the seven,
 the who kept roaring about Hell and Heaven There were seven people, there minds, There were seven humans of kinds; And who had known in their early days,
 These humans who had travelled their ways, Would have thought that the crook would parson be, Or the knave would take up humanity. But you never can tel-and the moral is here;
 Don't accept things always they appear Though for all your sins you atone;
 There is something that works in way of it's own, And you never may know the saint from the knave, This side of the edge of the grave.
