THE POOR MAN'S WISDOM.
The signs is bad when folks commence A-finding fault with Providence, And just because the world don't shake,, At every prancing step they take. No man is great, till he can see How less than little he would be If stripped to self, and stark and bare' He hung his sign out anywhere. My doctrine is to lay aside Contentions, and be satisfied; Just do your best, and praise or blame That follows will count just the same I've allus noticed great success Is mixed with troubles more or less, And its the man who does the best That gets more kicks than all the rest.
