This Good World

This good old world is wonder
full, it gives us every chance; and
if our lives are blunderful, and if
we don't advance, the fault is
ours, that's evident; we do not
play the game; we ought to make
heavy dent in History or Fame.
The world is kind and generous
to every useful man; twill help
(I1l bet tenner y us, in every
worthy plan. If we are prompt
and dutiful, and labor day by day,
the world will act just beautiful,
and help US on our way. 1t makes
me feel jim-jamerous, from scalp
lock down to shoes. when kick
ers, loud and clamorous, this good
old world abuse. If it's so beast
ly burdensome, with grief and
woe so rife, their staying here S
absurd an some of them should
quit this life. But when they get
to Paradise they'll still stand
round and kick, and want to
shake the narrow dice to see who
throws a brick. All worlds are
stern and rigorous to that besotted
mind which only can be vigorous
when it has fault to find. This
fine old world we're broiling in,
where sunshine's always free,
this world we're blithely toiling
in, is good enough for me!

Some time after President Garfield was
shot by Charles J. Guiteau in the old
Baltimore and Potomac railroad depot,
July 2, 1881, a round brass tablet was
inserted in the floor to mark the spot
where he stood. When the old station
was razed the tablet disappeared and
there is now no marking to show where
the tragedy occurred. If Congress would
have a small tablet erected on the spot
the way many other places of interest
are marked. 1t would not only please the
people of this city. but would add an
other to the many points of historic in
