MAKING A MAN.
Hurry the baby as fast as you can. Hurry him. worry, him, make him it man ; Off with his bale, clothes, put him in pants, Heed him on brain foods, and make him advance. Hustle him, soon as he's able to walk. Into a grammar school, cram him with talk ; Fill his poor head full of figures and facts, Keep on jambing them in till it cracks. Once boys grew at a rational rate, Now we develop a man while you wait ; Hush him through college, compel him to gfiib Of every known subject a dip and a dab. Get him into business, and after the cash, All by the time he can raise a moustache ; Let him forget he was ever a boy, Make gold his god and its jingle his joy, Keep him a-hustling and clear out of breath, Until ho wins—nervous prostration and death.
