THE HOUR'S PHILOSOPHY
wee depression hanging o ‘er us all our spirits ' we must rally, We must sacrifice, economise, and help ‘the poor as well. Though our incomes with the outgo seem impossible to tally. We'll all gloomy faces and expressions such as ""H--I!"’ After retrospecting -golden days our present lot we vision, And sum it up as quite the worst of any that we know; But, my friend, remember hospitals, asylums, slums and prisons! There are greater Waterloos than ours where’er we chance to go! Here the pauper's wife confirms me, with her little ones in tatters; They ‘are hungry and surround her with pale cheeks and wistful eyes. In a country like New Zealand these . are grave, important matters, We must further schemes of charity. Our duty
therein lies.
