The Happy Toiler

James Jmpson tolls to beat the
band. throughout the livelong day;
we find him busy pounding sand as
we pursue our way; with blisters on
his strong right hand he earns his
meager pay. ! hear him whistle
cheerful airs while toiling like an
OK, while on his stalwart back he
bears a ton of bricks or rocks; too
frequently the worker swearS, or
deals in vicious knocks. Il have
home" this James replies to ques-
tlons | PROFOUND, where loving
kindness never dies. and peace is
always found there, while we deity
swat the flies, our joyous words re-
sound. When once the heavy day
is DER, and all my labors' through.
my wife is waiting at the door. the
il children, too, and they send up
a gladstone roar when Father looms
in view. All things are ready for
Old Dad, his chair and slippers pink,
and there's feast OF kippered shad,
and wholesome suds to drink, and
every one is bright and glad, and
nothings on the blink. The folks
at home are all intent on shielding
Dad from woe; they would not give
a phony cent for joys he may not
know; and how can any toiling gent
be sad when this is SO? If to his
home a man repairs, at closing of
the day, and finds his people sore as
bears, instead of blithe and gay, a
look of gloom he doubtless wears,
that naught can drive away But
as / toll with might and main I'm
thinking OF my shack, where | shall
meet my Sarah Jane what time the
right grows black, and where my
children. safe and sane, will climb
upon my back"
