THE COMING MAN.

THE COMING MAN.

A pair of very chubby legs, Incased in scarlet liose; A pair of little stubby boots, With rather doubtful toes; A little kilt, a little coat — Cut as a mother can— And lo! before us stands in state TJie future’s “coining man.” His eyes, perchance, will read the stars. Ami search tho unknown ways; Perchance the human heart and soul Will open to their gaze; Perchance their keen and flashing glance Will he a nation’s light — Those eyes that now are wistful bent Un some “big fellows kite.”

Ah, the blessing of those little hand* Whose work is yet undone; And blessing on those little foot, Whose race is yet unrun ! And blessing on the little brain That has not learned to plan! Whatc'er the future holds in store, God bless the “coming man.”
