TO-MORROW’S TANGLE.
(By Walt Mason). “To-morrow’s tangie to the winds ■ resign,” old Omar said, and thus in i one brief line set forth inore wisdoxn than most poets spring in all ' the years in which they Jive 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 whipped the dragons of to-day, with manner Bold, debonair and gay, he feels the ardour in his breast expire; “To-morrow’s dragons and ehime--ras dire,” he mutters low, “will seize me by the throat, remove my scalp and bear away my goat.” To-mor-row's dragons may he one inch tall; to-morrow’s troubles may not come at all. If you to-day have fought a goodly tight, forget your fears and sleep in peace to-night, i- ant i w hen you wake the good old sun will shine; to-morrow's tangle to £he winds resign.
