RIPPLING RHYMES.
(By Walt Mason)
January Griefs

The month of January is anything but merry, it's
anything but gay; for we're walking straitly and,
Chez it bores us greatly to go the narrow way We've
cast old sins behind us, and passing hours remind us
how much we miss the same; but have made our
pledges-none but pker hedgesand we must play the
game Oh there are watchers . near us, who do not
strive to cheer u.s. or soothe in woe our downfall
they're awaiting, and then we'll hear them prating,
"There, now! We told you So" When one has vowed
to glitter like some angelic crter and hurtful habits
KILL you'd think his folks would brace him. not pester him
and chase him. with prophecies of ILL., He sees in all
their gances their feeling that his chances of being good
are slim; they show by smiles sarcastic and criticisms
drastic they have faith in him. And So grown tired
of striving of too long surviving, from pledges he
breaks free and while those dying, he hears
the women crying, "We knew how it would bep' The
month of January is sad and solemn very it is the
Of woe for all the world is saying, to gents from virtue
s.raying, sWe told you SOL"
