TO LIVE A WISE LIFE.
If I want to be happy And quick on my toes, I must bite my food slowly And breathe through my nose, I must press, back my shonldeis, And hold up my head, And NOT close my window When going to bed. I must soap my bath flqnnel. And scrub all I know; 1 must then take a towel And rub till I glow. 1 must never he idle, And 101 l in my chair; Or shout like a demon, And act like a bear 1 must play and not fidget. Bead books and not flop! Begin all with a purpose, Afid know when to stop. I must love what is noble, And do what is kind; I must strengthen mv body And tidy my mind. Yes, if I would be healthy, And free from all cares, I must do all I’ve told you. And MEAN all mv prayers. —Harold Begbie.
