The March of Men.

—. +-—— (By Charles Ruxton Going.) If you could cast away the pain, The sorrows and the tears, And let tho joys alone remain From all departed years; If you could quite forget tho sighs And recollect the song— What think you—would you bo as wise, As helpful or as strongP If you would lay the burden down That bows your head at whales, Shun everything that wears a frown, And live a life of smilesBe happy as a clxild again, As tree from thoughts of care— Would you appear to other men More noble or more fair? Ah, no! a man should do Tits part And carry all his load, Rejoiced to share with every heart The roughness of the road. Not given to thinking overmuch Of pains and priefs behind, But glad to bo in fullest touch With all Iris human kind.
