SUCCESS AT LAST.
A <;ray-haired, broken-down old man With sunken eye and cheek, Climbed up the steps one winter’s day, With humble mien and meek. He rang the bell, and a woman came And stood in the open door, And a smile spread over his wrinkled face As he saw his wife once more. And the old glad light shone in his eyes, And his husky voice grew elear. As he said, * It almost knocked me out, But I matched that ribbon, dear.’
