fits time for him to die, and take
job at bunking coal or harping in tn,
sky, he knows the little things he dit
to win mans contempt-will bt
forgotten by the world, of scorn he'll
be exempt. And folks may then thinl
back a pace to little things he did
in love of some poor, half-starved dog
to some poor, fearful kid; and they
may even drop a tear on his cold
death blanched brow, but how these
self-same people love to hammer him
just now! They may look at his poor
wasted hands clasped DER silent
breast, and say those hands were clean
and white, and those they once ca
ressed neer found bruise of their
imprint nor knew a lasting stain, nor
left single heartache or regret akin
to pain; they may look upon his sight
less eyes, closed in deaths kindly
sleep, they may recall those eyes once
knew the blur of eyes that weep; they
bier they bow-but how these self
same people love to hammer him just
now. Oh, when the bout is over and
the final prayers are said, and the
sexton cleans his ancient spade and
folks say: "He is deadl"-I suppose
they'll do the same old things, he's
marked throughout the years-fine
chamois will be ruined on cute noses
red with tears, and men will blink
their eyes and say: "Too bad he had
to go; | always liked the fellow; and
tried to let him know my heart was
right behind him. may gold crown
grace his brow" -but how these self
same people love to hammer him just
now-Gee Jay.
