The Old Abe Eagle, 1891-12-11

I brave the day, I brave tbe nlftht, 1 throw my Borrows to the wind, And try to keep a cheerful mind. Although my ooat Is thin and light, Although my hat l wondered at. Becauae I shaved the outer rim To try and keep it ainooth aad trim. I laugh and sing and whistle, too. Whoa I bare wind enough te paro. Cot In the shn.ru and frost r air My breath comes short, my noee turns bine. aiy nngera freeze. And my poor kneo Would knock tog-ether did they darei But still I keep a Jaunty air. When bread Is sor.rce and shelter poor I watch the sparrows, and t say "I only want a meat a day." And if they turn me from the door I tramp for weeks. And dodge the beaks. And with no money for a bed I try an arohway or a shod. I brave the day, t brare the night, 1 throw my sorrows to the wind, Tis wise to keep a choorf ul miad And screw your coarage tor the fight. And so, kind sir. In case you err. With ovor ptty worse than none, Just hand a copper and hare done, Kiua JT. Layard In Lougniaa Maguías. Chinese Points for float.

Uow to Acijulre a Foreign Vocabulary. Perhaps one of the beet ways of fixing the words and idioms of a language in one'B mind is to teach them to somebody else.

Ittd Not Know What W" nlni On. There is a fact abont the French revo lution more wonderful in its way thun any which can be discovered in old news papers.
