 -four Worries all Game True. What "A tough old world, what a rough
 old world,.
 What a world of black and blue, What a planet drear, VIC should find
 this sphers,
 If our worries all came true. What cheerless life, wAat a reign of
 strife,
 What space of habe' and rue, Were the little span of the best hlest
 man,
 If our worries all came truel We should have ncz health nor content
 nor wealth,
 And our cup were bitter brew, We should only sigh for our day to
 die
 If our worries all came true!. For our hopes would fail and onr hearts
 would quail,
 And the heaven go askew, And the praye saem blest as a poal of
 rest
 If our worries all came tEue But We 've learned through years of all-
 bootleSs tears,
 When the world wore a sombre hue, That the specters fly whom the sun is
 high
 All our worries can't t come truel -Kee Maxwell in the Peroia Journal.
