"SUCH IS LIFE."
"Such is life!" the young man cries. Who has yet to know it. "Such Is life!" the old man sighs, When about to blow it. Life is but "a fleeting show," In Tom Moore's conclusion; Life is but a vale of woe. Given for man's illusion. But 'tis not a fleeting show; It is deeper, denser. Would you really like to know? Hark to Herbert Spencer: "Life is the definite combination of heterogeneous changes, both simultaneous and successive, in correspondence with external co-existences £nd sequences." Such is life! When overwrought, Meditate upon it. Memorise that golden thought; Paste It In your bonnet. —From "A Penny Whistle," by 3ert Lsmton Taylor i&aofii)^
