TG A- BABY. "Well, dear little mortal. Set down on life’s portal, "With never a question of 'choice, or ox will; Small pilgrim, set out On a journey of doubt, "With your shrine on the top of a troublesome hill. ’ Look about with those eyes Full of grave sweet surprise . And say what you think of the world mow you’re in it. Is it best worth j r our while To meet life with a smile. Or a frown, that you ever were forced to begin it? Oh, “ Life ” is the name Of the curious game, And whether we smile, child, or whether we' frown, We must each play in turn; - ’Though we scarcely may learn The rules of the game, till the cards are thrown down. ’Tis a queer hurry-scurry ■ Full of bother and worry, For each player comes in with some trick of his own, But the secret of winning Lies all in beginning, So- be sure you are right, child, then “play it alone.” —Philadelphia Times.
