A MAN WHOM THE
WOR.LDLOVES.
Be who covers the pain in bis heart with a jest,
An
cl
Cqres least about it, can bear life the best;
He who bmies his yesterdays with a goocl grace,
And hides all his hurts with a jovial face,
Drinks a toast to the death of a useless remorse,
Defies ail the F ates in their mythical course,
And lets no misgiving his happiness mar,
But like the dead ash of his fragrant cigar,
Fli:ks it off and away-such a man makes this earth
