TO-MORROWS TANGLE.
(By Walt Mason.)
“To-morrow's tangle to the winds resign,’' old Omar said, and thus in one brief line, set forth more wisdom than most poets .spring in all the years through which they live and sing. With present griefs man fearlessly combats ; he pulls their ears and kicks them in the slats ; and, like a knight in armour gone afield, he quite enjoys the tilting that they yield. But, having tvliipped the dragons of to-day, with manner bold and debonair and gay, he feels the ardour in his breast expire ; '‘Tomorrow’s dragons and chimeras dire,” he mutters low, “will seize me by the throat, remove my scalp and bear away my coat.” To-inorrow’s dragons may be one inch tall ; tomorrow’s troubles may not come at all. It you to-day have fought a goodly light, forget your fears, and sleep in peace to-night, and when you wake the good old sun will shine ; to-morrow’s tangle to the winds resign.
