g o b b le r , stick to thy last!
BY J. M. MAYERS.
BY R. G. INGERSOLL.
Alone, u n eh arm ed by w om an’s tuneful
tongue,
O ur d u st-b u ilt pa, w hen life was fresh
and young,
Reflecting sadly on his lonely life,
Y earned for th e solace of a charm ing
wife.
God read his th o u g h ts, observed his own
m istake,
And to him self and G host th ese words
h e sp a k e :
“ I t is not good th a t m an should dw ell
a lo n e ,
W e’ll from his lu m b a r regions take a
*
And, fashioned V equs-like in stin c t w ith
life,
P resen t it to him , ch aste, a charm ing
w ife.”
“ A greed,” replied th e G host, in accents
lo w :
“ T he anaesthetic’s ready. L et us go.”
More sw ift th a n eagle swoops upon its
prey,
The tro u b led triu n e passed th e M ilky
W ay ;
Down, down they sank, as lead in w ater
sin k s,
And fell w here Adam stood in forty
w inks,
And o’er his m outh an d O riental nose
A d o cto r’d kerchief, leastw ays, I su p
pose,
T hey deftly th rew , and, in a sleep pro
found,
Poor Adam d ro p p ’d upon th e h allow ’d
ground.
Deep in bis side th e Sheffield blade was
th r u s t,
And out th e sev er’d rib fell in th e d u s t ;
A nd l o ! w hen Adam from his slum ber
woke,
T he three-in-one politely to him spoke.
Every hum an being is a neces
sary product of conditions, and
every one is born with defects for
which he cannot be held responsi
ble. N ature seems to care nothing
for the individual, nothing for the
snecies

is our m other
and our teacher, and she is also the
deceiver of men. Above her we
cannot rise, , below her we cannot
fall. In her we find the seed and
soil of all th a t is good, of all th a t
is evil. N ature originates, n o u r
ishes, preserves and destroys.
A shoem aker found fault with an oil-painted slipper in
one of the paintings of a celebrated a rtist, but showed tbe
greatest ignorance in criticising the o ther parts of the p a in t
ing. Hence has arisen the oft-quoted saying, Let the cobbler
stick to his last, and let every one a tte n d to his own business.
