Living with Oneself

From the Marion, Ohio Star.
II have to live with myself, and SO
/ want to be fit for myself to know;
I want to be able, as the days go by,
Always to look myself straight in the
eye;
| don't want to stand with the set
ting sun
And hate myself for the things I've
done.
/ don't want to keep on closet shelf
A lot of secrets about myself,
| And fool myself, as come and go,
Into thinking nobody else will know
The kind of a man really am.
| don't want to dress myself up in
sham!"
Who wrote the metrical lines print
ed above l don't know-to certain
ty. They have been credited to one of
our martyred presidents-to James~A.
Garfield If Mr. Garfield wrote them,
he did WELL They are not poetry of
high order; but they are poetry, af
ter all. They are bunch of old-fash-
toned poetical posies, fragrant with
homely truth, dew drenched with COM
mon sense. They sound like man
of the character of Garfield, Lincoln
or Mckinley might have written
them. Because they embody and sha-
dow forth the innate nature of the
writer. They are plain and simple;
they are clean, moral, elevating; they
are as direct and convincing as Long
fellows psalm of Life"
Let's examine these lines carefully.
Each one of US has to live with him
sef-more intimately than with any
one else in the whole wide world.
Each human being is his own environ
ment, so to speak, and he should be
fit for himself to know-and to re-
spect-and to emulate. He shouldn't
be stencil in his own nostrils;- he
shouldn't be a scarecrow in his own
field of vision. He should be able to
face his reflection in the mirror of
life-and be not afraid; be not dis
mayed or repelled. At the close of
any day, or at the dawn, he shouldn't
have to hate himself for the things
he has done. The very best epitaph
any poor mortal could have on his
