Show It is easy to talk it is bard to do : We can all of xts talk, but can we all do? There is a very wide diflerence between the two They who talk the most, the least they do. , ,,Xhc,nian who 1star-tstT.with a policy in viewtl He's respected by liis neighbors, is honcs"tand true, Is always employed and has plenty to do. The man who dallies and talks and loafs, Is cat up, more or less, with worms and moths ; Has nothing to cat nor clothes to wear, With children ragged and almost bare : His hands are weak, have no power of grasp, Ne'er begins his Avork till work hours are past. Give us the man who is willing to toil, Either at the bench or tilling the soil, Or any occupation that sccmcth him good, If it is honcsl gives him clothes and food. So may we all, in the glad New Year, Work and prosper have none but God to fear ! J. W. Carpenter. |
