MAKE GOOD.

The world is often humbugged by the guy who has the guile; The world is often buncoed—but ’tis only for a while. V ith all who try to do things she is patient, as she should ; But, lordy, how she slams them when they don’t make good! The braggart and the boaster, they apparently get on. To-day the world is with them, but to-morrow they are gone! The justice of her processes they have not understood— She has no use for any man who won’t make good! The world is often put upon, the world is oft deceived, And many a flowery fable for a while she has believed; But finally her common sense deception has withstood— No man can fool her always when he can’t make good! So, laddie, take a lesson now from one who knows the game, ’Twill save you maybe money, and ’twill save you surely shame: The world will treat you squarely if you treat her as you should, But you don’t forget she’ll nail you if you don’t make good! —Denis M'Carthy, in ‘Judge.’
