TWENTIETH CENTURY SONG.
If your heart bo sorely stricken, Try and hide it with a grin; Do not let the merest stranger Look your secret shrine within. Kbisy streams are ofttimes shallow, Silent is the ice-floe's might; Keep your grief, my unknown reader, Safely hid from strangers' sight. Also, do not tell your worriesHeadache, corns, and servants' pelf— In a flood to every caller; Leave them snugly on their shelf. —Lucy Murp.ay. Christchurch.
