PEGGING AWAY.

Men seldom mount at a s'nglc bound To the ladder's verj top; They must slowly climb it, round by round. With many astart and stop. And the winner is sure to be the man Who labours day by day. For the world has found that the safest plan Is to keep on pegging away. You have read, of course, about the hare And the tortoise-the tale is oldHow they ran :: race- -it counts not vi here And the tortoise won, we're told. Tlie hare was sure lie had time to pause And to browse about and play, So the tortoise won the race because. He iust kept pegging away. A little toil and a little rest. And a little more earned than spent. Is sure to bring to an honest bivi.st A blessing of glad content. And so, though sk es may frown or smile, Be diiligent day by day: Reward shall greet you after a while If you iust keep pegging a.way.
