SOME GOOD ADVICE.
/ have some good advice for you.
My merry little man;
'Tis this: whereer your lot is cast

And find the good in everything,
No matter what where;
And don't be always looking for
The hardest things to bear
@ oh do not stand with idle HANDS
wait for something grand,
While precious moments slip away
Like grains of shining sand!
But do the duty nearest you,
And do it faithfully;
For steppng-stones to greater things
These little deeds shall be-.
In this big world of ours, my boy;
There's work for all to do
Just measure by the golden rule
That which is for YOU
And try 1t with the square of truth,
And with line Of right;
In every aSt thought of years,
oh, keep your honor bright!
It is the last line, "oh, keep your honor bright
