THE MAN WHO DOES HIS WOR K.
-*■ • This life is a strain and a struggle ; Wo are born to a world of ciiro ; And of all the scurries and woo 3 and won ics I've had a bit more than my share. It's idle to say that it's even, And there's no such thing as chance ; Though one has trouble, another has double ; One scrapes for the oilier to dance. And some, the> whine and they whimper— That's the kind that will never bo missed ; For honest labour there's always a neighbor To lend a helping fist. Tin's much I have learned for my comfort : It's never worth while to shirk ; Blow east, blow west, the world wags best For the man who does his work.
