ALWAYS A SOMETHING.

rhere is always a something, whatever j your lot; . ■ And, oh! how that somnthing- annoys! j Thouffh the merest of specks, it bacomes a , bis blot— 1 A pang at the heart of your joys. i What matters the manifold blessing* j you've got. ,_».»•! If there's one little cloud In th« bluer rhere Is always a something, whatever j your tot, i And If it's not one thing—lt't two! If it wasn't for something left In or left I out, j Our happiness would be complete; "lis the lack of one room that we worry j about, i Or the dwelling is on the wrong street. , If we only were thin, if we only were stout, I If wo had something different to do; j There is always a something left in or left . out, ', And ir it's not one thing—it's two! There is always a something, as eertaln j ns fate, A fly in the ointment we meet; The rich and the poor, and the lowly and great, F'nd bitter mixed in with the sweet. For each has an if with his neighbor* to make. And it follows this changing life through; There is always a something, as certain as fate. And if it's not one thing—it's two! —Hunter Mac Culloch, in N. Y. Weekly.
