A Valentine for Baby.
“The rose is red, tlw otolet‘a blue,
Pinks are pretty, and so are you."
The rose is red, my rosy dear;
But that you hardly yet can know,
Since you have only been with us
Four of the times when roses blow.
The violet’s blue, my blue-eyed love;
. Yet that perhaps, you hardly knew,
Since you have only passed four times
The violetsin their hoods of blue.
The pinks are pretty, baby queen,
And so are you; but that, also,
From being here so short a time,
Perhaps you’ve hardly learned to know.

A Courtship Episode.
There is a tangled condition of things in
my mind with regard to long courtship,
bumble bees and ladies, which make it diffi—
cult to give any special prominence to each
or either. As a combination they wore
once so interwoven in a little affair of
my own that they formed, altogether, a s'ub-
ject of stinging interest. ,
In the earlier years of manhood, at that
age which in womanhood .is denominated
sweet, I had deep-felt and earnest longings
to make a living. Industry and economy at
length procured for me such growth in the
grace of fate, that I was within twenty-five
dollars a year of success. But strive as I
would it seemed impossible to pass this point
which was grimly fixed in my yearly path of
life. Hard work and economy were unavail-
ing, and only seemed to bring me year by
year to the same dismal period of past expe-
rionce.
Some one has said “ all things are within
- the reach of perseverence.”-—’I his is a mis-
take—Those twenty-five dollars were then
as far beyond my reach as is the payment of
afarmer’s taxes now. It was the cause of
all my trouble. Every closing year found
me twenty-five dollars in debt. Ithought of
bankruptcy, then of suicide, and finally con-j
cluded that matrimony might happily com-
bine the advantages of both. I soon selected
a neighborhood beauty who, with an eye to
the chances of life,was easily prevailed upon
to sweetly answer yes.
We were happy then,and although my
path in life has been somewhat storm-swept
and cloud-encompassed, I shall always cher-
ish the memory ,of happy evenings when
that nice girl and I were rocked in life’s
young dream of love. Our hearts were full
of gladness which found expression in the
harmony of song. ,
Be it; your portion some day, forlorn read-
er, for whom the matrimonial knell has never
rung, to enjoy, as I did then, the melodies of
a jewsharp commingled with s promised
bride’s, sweet song.
We fixed the day at six months and I de-
termined during that time to outdo all past
exertion and save ten dollars ahead to get
married on.
One month passed away and I was rejoiced
to find that I had saved a dollar—a real'silver
dollar.
Times have so changed since then. that
bank cashiers can now make away with a
cool hundred thousand,with far less exertion
than was required to get that one. I, how-
ever, was encouraged and felt that with
slight additional effort I would have the
whole ten dollars when the day of days ar-
rived. Having for several years come within
twenty-five dollars of making my living,
with a wife to help me I was confident of
success. I had read in my Bible ‘ and
learned that under matrimonial circumstan—
ces “ twain became one flesh.” My mar-
riage would not then involve numerical fam-
ily changes. There would Still he only one,
and on the authority of the scriptures I
would only have to provide for one.
Since then I have found, or (not to ques-
tion the Book) I seem to find that instead of
two becoming one, they soon count up to
eleven or eight. Wish some One would ex-
plain how this is. ‘ *
But to return to the. subject—as I some-
times wish the preacher would—the gentle
goddess was spinning out for me a pleasant
future; not a kink in the thread except those
twenty-five dollars.
I busied myself one evening with a calcu-
lation as to the ability of my prospective
wife to make that amount, and had arranged
things pretty Well up to the even point
when I received the following note:
' “ At Pa’s, July 20.
DIAB Ham—We are all well and hope
these few lines will find you the same, and
as times is hard, and as I’m afraid you won’t
be able to save those ten dcllars, and as I
kinder don’t like to wait six months, have
concluded to marry another feller next
Wednesday night. BETSEY J ANE."
It is true, I hope, that there is a world on
the confines of this, where expectations are
realized. On this arrangement everything
has been turning ppsidc down, for me, ever
since my boyhood—and then I used to be
turned that way myself. Had I been in the
place of that water-walking Hebrew of
scripture notoriety,I should have gone to the
bottom, and most: probably would have sunk
through that. ‘
Whilst moralizing on the uncertain nature
of things it- occurred to me that if “ all’s
well that ends well,” the opposite must also
be true, 1 therefore concluded to be at the
wedding, and resolved then and there to
work out that. Shakespearisn idea reversed.
In an adjacent meadow there was a family
of bumble-bees, betwcen whom and myself
there had been some intimacy, though not
much friendship. On the morning of Miss
Betsy Jane’s marriage I persuaded ninety-five
or thirty of these birds into a buckskin bag.
Thatbag had been my father’s purse, and
was left to me by a provision of his will and
testament, by which he also willed me the
purse full of gold, but as the old gentleman
did not leave any gold, I only got the bag.
The Probate Court should provide ioLgasgs.
0i this. kind. EN). no‘r'wunstannln'g'the gold
I had my bumble-bees safely in buck-skin
bag, and very tenderly I carried them in my
‘bosom tothe Wedding of Betsey Jane. I
reached the gates of kstivity after dark, and
as the weather was warm, I thought it would
be more comfortable on the outside, and I
therefore took my place at a window, one of
the lower-panes was a shingle, and happily
for me had a knot-hole in it, '
What a. sight greeted my vision. Beautiful
ladies, bewitching beauties, loveliness and
charms, enough to craze a man, and among
the rest was Betsy Jane, but Betsy Jane be
hanged. 1 only came to see them dance,
and I had in my bosom at least a dozen part-
ners for each lady there, and they should
dance each lady with a dozen partners all at
once, I shook my bees and gave them sev-
eral rubs to wake them up. They buzzed,and
snarled, and squirmed, which proved that
they were all right. As the company took
their places, and the music struck up, each
couple sallied out, made a lurch hither and
thither, dodged as best they could the oppo.
site couple and finally camekaround into their
‘spective places. As they once more started
' I gently placed the mouth of the buck-
.rn bag to the knot hole and let loose the
birds. In an instant a war-whoop rent the
air, which seemed to have been shrieked by
one of the ladies, and in a moment every
one in the room seemed to be striking in mid-
air. and yelling like Indians. But ah! not
long did I enjoy the mad-cap scene. The
string had, it seems, slipped ofif my buckskin
aviary before I drew it from my bosom. A
batch of my pets had remained. And in the
hours..-
s
twinkling a longlegged youth might have
been seen shooting homeward 'like a red-
headed meteor. He yelled like a mad bull.
He threw himself on the ground, tore of! his
coat, vest and shirt, smashed a bumble-bee
here, let fly a cuss word there, and raked off
enough hide to patch a side saddle. The
horrors of that night no mortal tongue ‘or pen
can ever tell. That neighbbrhood walked
lame, sat side-ways, wore leather spectacles
and carried its neck and ears in a sling for a
month afterwards. HAWTHORNE.

Laura’s Strategy.
Laura had taught her school and now she
was going to get her money. Three months
wages and she had $30 a month, and as she
paid her board in sewing and knittingr-for
Mrs. Sennnctt had a large family and was
glad to have her do ace—she could have the
whole $90 to use as she pleased. It looked
like a very large amount to her and she had
planned how she was to spend it, a dozen
times.
“The boys want the work horses to draw
in wood,” Mrs. Bennett said as she started,
“so John has hitched up Banquo for you.
'Ee’s gentle enough, but he’s a'colt mind ye,
and the best thing ye could do is to let the
whip alone.”
No need 'of the whip, she, thought, as the
sleigh glided smoothly and swiftly along'over
the well trodden road. She was quits sur-
prised when shc came in sight of the house ‘
where the Treasurer lived. He was at the
door when she drove up.
“I‘ll hitch your horse for ye." he said,
coming down to the gate; “come after your
money, I ’spose. I’ve got it in here, all ready
for you. It’s lucky you come now, I was
jest about startin' off. Got the Colt, have
you? wal I swan! he's asclipper; I didn’t
suppose Bennett ’ud let anybody drive him.
Come in; I‘ll sign your order and pay you
right off; ’spose you want to see your money
——pretty good little bunch of chick for a girl
like you. '
More. talked with the Treasurer’s wife a
while, then go: her money and started homé.
She had not gone far before a man on foot
came out of a cross road-just in front of her.
He stepped aside and waited for her to come
up. ,
“Good afternoon, school ms’sm." he said ;
“would you object to letting a fellow ride a
little ? I am pretty tired and I see you’e got
Bennettlscolt. I’d like to ride behind him
once.” .
Laura stopped her horse and the man got
into the sleigh. She did not know him but
from the way he spoke she supposed it must
be some of the neighbor’s who knew .her,
probably a brother of some of her scholars- ‘
hc-was a young man.
“I see you don't know me,” he said, “it
isn’t strange, you see so many; I’ve been
around here all winter,” he added, but Lcura
remembered afterward that he did not tell
her his name. “This colt does step of! .well ;
doesn’t seem tircd ; driven him for?”
“No, only over to Mr. Smith’s.”
“Yes, he’s one of the Board, I believe."
“He is Treasurer.”
"You tauglltin a good district; some of
them make their teachers wait for their pay
but I believe this one never does.” '
“I think not.” ,
“Have you long to teach i” asked the man
evidently bent on beingsociable. \
“My school is done," said. Laura, still
wholly‘unsuspicious. ' .
“And you’ve been after your money.” said
the man with a sudden change . of manner;
“and I‘ll take it,” drawings revolver and
pointing it at her head. “No use to try to
resist.” .
They were passing through a lonely strip
of woods, not a house near them. She was
a frontier girl with plenty of nerve. She re-
membered she had two pocketbooks, one
empty, one full.
“If you want my money, get it," she said,
snatching the empty pocket-book from her
packet and throwing it as far as possible be-
hind them into the snow. The man sprang
after it. ‘
She caught the whip from its socket and
laid it sharply, with all .her force, the full
length of Banquo’s nervous back. With a
mad plunge he was of! like lightning. The
man opened the pocket-book and, enraged at
his defeat, fired a couple of shots after her,
but they did not touch her.
“The colt's runnin’ away with the school-
ma'um,” shouted John ,as she dashed in sight,
but ‘she guided him up to the gate in good
order.
“Your’c plucky,” said Mr. Bennett,when she
told the storyfand "She’s a plucky one,” said
everybody, when it was repeated,
The man proved to be one of the neigh-
bor’s hired men. He'was never again seen

“Blooded Horses” In America.
At the recent sessions of the National Con-
vention of Agriculturists in this city,a highly
interesting paper was read by Gen. Wm. H.
Jackson, of the Stockbreeders Association of'
Tennessee, on “ Blooded Horses,” as was
stated in the Star at the time. General J at!-
son said that a thoroughbred we! a horsc
tracing his pedigree to the Arabian horse
imported into England about-the middle of
the 16th century. He has no superior in
beauty and brightness, strength and agility,
has thin skin, lungs giving good wind, and
fine bone, insuring strength and action. The
development of improved breeds of horses
has been supported and encouraged by every
government but our own. The high mission
of the thoroughbred is to elevate the entire
character of the equine race. The weakness
of fast horses is not always due to external
form, but to internal organization. There is
NO SPEED WITHOUT BLOOD,
and “ the horse of .all work " is a misnomer,
and does not exist. No single animal or
breed can be adapted to all uses, but the
blooded horses show most variety. The
weight of the average race horse _is 950
pounds. He read from a workpublished o
Arabian horses early in the century,showing"
thepricel of. the best horses to have then
been 3,000 pounds sterling. The same work
showed the care observed by the Arabs in
preserving the purity of their stock and
keeping the record of pedigree. The race
course is a necessity to develop the powers
of the thoroughbred. The prejudices against
the moral tendencies of the race course are,
sometimes, well founded, but are not always
ust.
j run ENGLISH 131.00an House
is descended from the horse Derby, imported
in 1703. Previously some Barbs and Turks
had been brought to England, but did not
give good descendants. Godolphin came
twenty-five years later, and his greater popu-
larity was due to the preparation by improve-
ment made by Derby. He is said to have'
been foaled in 1724, and lived tlll 1753. He
was bought for 18 louis ($75.) He was con-
ceded to be a Barb, and was supposed to
possess more of the Arabian qualities than
the other.

was Bulle Rock to Virginia, in 1730, and
Habster in 1741. The requirements of stal-
lions are purity of pedigree, good form, per-
formsnce, easy action, good constitution,
temper and courage. Good mares should
be good nurses, and in foal must be
well fed and cared for, being protected from
the damp cold. Young colts should be care-
fully handled in early age—taught to come
and take salt from the baud. Ererylhing
must be done gently. There was close con-
nection between the treatment of young do-
mestic animals and young children. He de-
scribed carefully the operations offoaling
and weaning and the treatment ofanimsls
until maturity. Perseverance and judgment
are a necessity in breeding. England has
long been conside‘ed the nursery of thorough-
bred. _horses, but :Lorillard has taken the
palm and raised American‘horscs in European
estimation. His state (Tennessee) was well
adapted to the production of thoroughbred
horses.

. ANIMAL.
Dr. Loring, the chairman, said the present
census will show an array of statistics relat-
ing to the importance of the animal. The
thoroughbred horse is as distinct a breed as
the Percheron or Clydesdale. It is a mis-
take to speak of short horn cattle as thor-
oughbred, for it is superfluous. The Thor-
oughbred horse-is the source of all Ameri-
can horses. It has been properly said that
we have no horse of all work, but we have
horses with wide varieties of good qualities,
like his independent master. The thorough-i
brcds are too impetuous, but
ran own comment: or run summons
. noses
constitutes his value. The difference is, one
is taught to obey; the other to defy. The
strength of the American. horse is surprising.
The Clydesdale and Percheron have especial
mission. The size does not constitute
strength, but‘ well balances power: and
small animals, like small men, are often the
strongest. He described the origin of the
Morgan horse, starting in New England,
which was strong, and could out-pull all
others because of his well balanced power
and horse strength. It was a good example
of a good American horse—for the minister,
to clear the road with, to go to the mill with,
for the doctor, for the family, and for almost
anything. We are a driving community,
and the American horse has the necessary
inherent qualities. . There is no trouble in

having the quiet good sense, so we have th
good mill horse, plough horse and driver.
The American trotter is quiet and honest,
sometimos’more honest than his driver. The
American track horse at his best is a good
family horse. and his long stride makes him
a good plough horse. The admixture of
blood making the American horse would
appear troublesome, but while the thorough-
bred blood gives the speed, &c., the French
blood gives steadiness.
THE SOUTHERN HORSES
are mostly descended from_French blood
(Pilol)—the Pilots from a Canadian horse,
the Clays from a Canadian and the Patchens
from the Clays—and all have the peculiarities

A Kind-Hearted Queen.
_ The kind queen of Belgium showed the
other day what grace as gentle courtesy adds
to womanhood. In the Rue Royale, as a
csbman was waiting on the stand. seated on
his box, a sudden gust of wind carried off his
hat and sent it dancing along the street,
while be, unable to leave his horse, was ges-
ticulating frantically to the passers-b'y, who,
insensible to his appeals, were enjoying the
scene. Just then the queen drove past in
her pony—chaise, and seeing the poor man’s
distress, stopped, and ordered a groom to get
down and run after the hat. Her majesty
waited till it was caught and restored to its
owner, who, now more embarrassed than be-
fore, did not know how to express his grati-
tude. She then bowed her acknowledge-
ments to the awkward attempts he made to
convey his sense of her condescension,
touched her horses, and drove _off, having
given a lesson to the little crowd of rather
crest-fallen by-standers, which it is to be
hoped was not lost upon them—New York

GEN. JACKSON ON THE CAABACTER OF THE
THOROUGHBRED.
. Gen. Jackson desired to correct an errone-
ous impression as to the violent temper of
the thoroughbred. It is not so bad—they
are high-spirited but not vicious-and per-
haps are too impetuous for driving. Much
depends -on the training of animals. The
headiness and apparent iricionsness on the
course is often due to bad treatment. Ani-
mals too impetuous cannot win—the quiet
horse is always hard to beat. The disposition
is due to training.
rue BAD nxsun'rs or cnoserG
are mainly due to crossing the wrong way.
For driving he was satisfied with an easy
gait of 2:40, and his driver was always gen-
tle, spirited and prompt. Good motion is
direct forward, without side motion and no
jerk to the buggy. A three-quarter cross of
American horse makes the best roadster, and
the thoroughbred is the best for greatest
variety of uses. Sanders, of Chicago, says
the value of trottcrs has been referred to
Messenger blood, and in writing and compil-
ing be has recognized thevalue of the French

bred. George Wilkes Was a success in Ken-

An Important Discovery.
Dr. S'teelsmith, of the city hospital, is the
discoverer of a new method of keeping people
alive who are unable to take any nourishment
in the usual manner. One of the female
patients in the hospital had not taken any
nourishment for some time, and was growing
weaker eve‘ry day—in fact, was at the point
of death. One day it occurred to Dr. Steel-

GROUP, Whooping Cough and Bronchitis
“The Tippcty Witchety Club.”
[\Vash. Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democratd
One of the famous dinner givers of the cap-
tnl is one Norris Peters, abachelor citizen of
unlimited means, who delights in gathering
his chosen friends around him and enjoying’
the revel of wit and good things. His ban.
quets are almost fornightly institutions dur—
ing the winter, and the knights who gather
around his board once fancifully styled
themselves ‘thc “Tippety Witchety Club."
and the name had been recognized and :stay-
ed by them for many reasons. A dozen or
twenty of the wittiest and most jovial mem-
bore of the house are oftentst at Welckcr’s
on the occasion of these dinners, and among
them their their host. is called the “modern
Lucullus," and “the admiral." “Quails,
frogs, strawberries in January, and priceless
wines mark his menu from the ordinary, and
the rich cards and favors carrcd homr to their
wives prove on what a scale his guests have
been entertained. The Admiral Peters is a
quiet, middle-aged gentlemen, solidly built,
with a face so like Senator Windom’s :as gto
cause them to be freqtiéntly mistaken for one
another. Captain Hewgatc used to be a
“Tippety Wicbety” guest, but this winter he
lives more cfuietly and dines on anything but
luxuries Saturday ev‘c‘fings at the jail. Thc
great story tellers ‘andt—humorists, the racon~
‘ ‘teurs andyvits of this company are said to
afford the cream of all the week’s entertain-
ments, and in spring and early summer
the club continues their, cnioyments by
shifting the scene from Welcker’s to the deck
and cabin of Mr. Peter‘s yacht. Two years
ago the greater part of the merry company
were drawn into the great swindle of the
“new process’( and over their walnuts and
their wine they used to picture the great fu-
ture that was to make more than millionaires
of them.Thc{,“new process” was an alchemist,
discovery, whereby the failings and dump
piles of old mines were to yield more gold
than they had given when originally treated,
and the precious metal was to be profitably
- extracted from the lowest grander of ores.
The discoverer came bore, filed his papers in
the patent office, and set up a little labor-
atory on C street, where the few let- into
the knowledge of it‘gathered. The savants
of the patent ofllce delayed granting the
patent because the process was 'so inexpli-
cable aud miraculous. The chemists of' the
Philadelphia mint were puzzled ‘by the
phenomenon, which upset and rendered void
all the old formulas and laws; and a scientific
expert of the Smithsonisninstitute, to whom
the thing was submitted, suddenly slipped off
to South America, and this was a proof pos-
itive that he had gone to achieve his fortune
there by the new process. With all their im-
patience, thc patent omen deliberatly worked
over and studied over ths‘problem, and were
in no haste to commit themselves to this
scheme that would have upset the whole bul-
incss of mining. The inventor claimed to
have discovered the miracle while “salring”
a mine in California, but this significant fact
seemed in no way to warn the victims, and 0
they each carried a tallsmanic gold button
in their pockets, the result of running
through a few hundred pounds of common
ore from a Virginia mine. The inventor
sold out to a stock company formed of
politicians, contractors and wealthy men
around Washington, and went back to Cali-
fornia, where he next was heardof as having
extracted gold in paying quantities from the
water of some mineral springs. The affair
was soon after‘shown up, - and collapsed in
the hands of its once enthusiastic directors,
and “new process" is seldom mentioned save
with a wry face, among the setof its' victims
Wise men and old miners were taken in by
It,two representatives suffering to the amount
of $30,000 each, and' others in some ranging
from that down to $3,000. The whole science
of mining escaped the upsetting promised to
it, dump piles ceased to look like bonanzss
to the inspired eyes, and a certain set of
western congressmen narrow their eye lids
and clutch their purses when - any more
mining ventures are mentioned, and give no
more toasts to the success of the “new pro-
ccss."

Didn't like Female BookA gents.
A week or two ago, a bright and chatty
young woman called at a house at Case av-
cnue and endeavored to make a sale of a book
entitled “Home and Mother.” The lady of
the house received her in the‘ usual ten de-
grees below fashion, and utterly refusing to
look at. the book, she said:
“I havn’t any money, and I know that my
husband wouldn’t ,pay for it."
“It is a. book highly spoken of by the
press.” ‘
“Yes, I know, but my husbapd is queer.”
"And ybu see the superior style of bind-
ing.”
“I know, but: my husband would call “3
bosh and trash.’l
“Shan’t I call when he is home P”
"That would be useless. He wouldn’t
even look at _it,.nd he hates female book
agents,”
“Dose he i”
“Yes, he abhors them. I know he doesn’t
even treat them civilly when they call at his
office.” ‘
“Is that so ?” mused the girl, and when she
left the house she, for some reason or other,
started right down town.
The lady of the house might have forgoten
the incident in five or six years, but for a
sort of climax. When her husband came
up to dinner he handed her a copy of “Home
and Mother,” with the remark:
“Happened t5 see it as I passed a second
hand book store, and thought perhaps you’d
like it.” ~ .
“Yes—ah—but, Henry, a girl was here
trying to sell me this. very book not over {two
hours ago,” stammered the wild—w“ ""' ""
“Was 1: oWEiITSIJe probably got dis-
mged, sold out to the second hand dealer
and has skipped th city. Is dinner ready ?”
Dinner was ready, but somehow the wife
had no appetite, andjsincc that she has fits
of abstraction, glances suspiciously around
at times, and has been seen going in and
coming out of second hand book stores.

The Sins of the Fathers.
A London physician of eminence gives it
as his opinion that “in no instance is the sin
of the father more strikingly visited upon his
children than in the matter of tobacco-
smoking. The enervation, the hypocondria-
sis,thc hysteria, the insanity, the dwarfish
deformities, the consumption, the suffering
lives and early deaths of the children of in-
vctratc smokers, bear ample testimony of
constitutions transmitted by those addicted
to this pernicious,habit...... By this a man in-
jures his own health and that of his children.
Ought not this consideration to rcsrain;every
wise and good man from contractingiand
continuing such a senseless and dcstructivc
habit of self-indulgence ?7’ Another em‘lneut
London physiciansays : “I have constantly
observed that the children of habitual
smokers are. with very few exceptions, im-
perfectly dcvcloped in form and size, very
ill or plain looking, and dcliéate in constitu-
tion."

I look on the barren meadow:
Was it ever heaped with bay ? ,
Did it hide the grassy cottage
Where the skylsrk’s children lay ? ‘
I look on the desolate garden, .
Is it. true the rose was there '1’
Andrthe Woodbine's musky blossoms,
And the 'h'yacintli’s purple hair.
I look on my heart, and marvel
If Love were ever its own,
If the spring of promise brightened,
And the summer of passion shone?
Is the stem of bliss but withered,
And the root survives the blast.
Are the seeds of the future sleeping
Under the leaves of the past?
Ah, yes! for a thousand Aprils
The frozen germs shall grow,
And the dews of a thousand summers
Wait in the' warmth of the snow!
Our Soldiers.
CELIA THAX'I‘ER.
Peace smiles o’er hamlet and city.
Peace broods o'er mountain and stream;
Our tears of anguish and pity
Are a half forgotten dream. _
The tempest of battle is_ended,_
And our dear delivered land
Standsfree in the sunshine splendid,
No s sin upon her hand,
What shall we do to honor
Her dauntl-ess- sons to-day,
Who shed the glory upon her,
Striking her chains away P -
Fair floats the banner o’er her;
What did not her children give ?
Thcy cast their lives'bel'ore her,
Dying that she might live.
Remember them,praise them, love them-
The noble hearts and brave!
May earth lie lightly above them
In many a nameless grave !
Great was their high endeavor,
Great is their. glorious meed ;
Honor our heroes forever—
Ssrve them with word and deed!

A Needless Shadow.
HENRY WADSWORTII LOXGFELLOW.
I said to myself, If I were dead
What would befall tboSe children ?
would be
Their fate, who now are looking up to me
For help and furtherance? Their lives, I
said,
Would be a volume wherein I have read
But thefirst chapters, and no longer see
To read the rest of their dear history,
So full of beauty and so full of dread.
What
Be comforted! the world isver‘y old,
And generations pass, as they have passed
A troop of shadows moving with the
sun ; .
Thousands of times has the old talc been told
The world belongs to those'ivho come last,
They will find hope and strength as we
have done.
