When first the New Year came to town,

Young Mr Hubbard, he went, and he
rubbered
To get his dear wifey a hat
He saw a new bonnet, sald, "Let's decide on it"

The troubles you've had, though they're big to you,
Are small as this old world views them
The paltry prizes that we pursue-
With a smile it sees us lose them!
Your heart is weary and sick and sore,
And you count upon gloom…

Don't say: "There's nothing doing:
It's no sort of use to try
There's heaps of things a-brewing
For a ten-strike, by and byt
And the man to whom it's coming
Is hot upon the trail;
Not in a corner, hummingt

To drown our sorrows is unkind;
Besides, the chance is slim;
For in the flowing bowl we find

If you would be heard at all, my lad
Keep a laugh in your heart and throat:
For those who are deaf to accents sad
Are alert to the cheerful note
Keep hold of the cord of laughter's hell
Keep aloof from the moans…

She sacrificed her sweet young life-
"Twas all the life she had-
She sleeps beneath the daisies fair:
In peace she's resting now-
Oh, there's always something…

It's queer what Auntie Beck our cook

The woods, the wold, the hill and plain,
The valley and the lea,
The meadow green, reen, the brook between
Is joy enough for me
