Oil, neigli'bour, sad koa.rted, with dolorous tongue, you probably started complaining when young; you learned lion , to grumble at j grandmother's kuoes, and' not how to bu'inblo and buzz like the bees! TJio liabi grew stronger as years made their ra«:e, aml longer and longer you pulled Hit your face; ujkl louder and louder you voiced your soul pains, till people g *jd, "Chowder the man has no brains. ■•' For grief is the habit liko clucking yvith fowls, like fear to a. rabbit, like Hooting to owls. When once youi have govt it there's nothing will please; your (spirit, dod rot it, is never at ease; roar when it's raining, when heavens are bluo; complaining, cwnpl;riiifi%.;. is all you can do. So parents /iuid grannies, keep tap on the kids, , v the Nods and the Nannies, the Sifls, and when they're repining and γ-retful and cross, isay. "They'll be no Nailing while 1 am the boss!" Just ri.so them to come from their iK>rch'r*tTp=Bmf\ > them and hand them ton cents worth of birch.
