SAYS HE IS A F T E It THE e o c R T i i o r s E RING We have been asked if we would do nate a portion of the Boosting Spirit page this week, to the advertising «»f the platform of our friend, Hon. George ( \ Brownell. We are pleased to make this donation and in any other way «id in the election of Mr. Brownell as our next state senator. DO IT NOW If with pleasure you are viewing any work a man is doing. If you like lorn, or you love him, tell him now. Hunt withhold \>>ur approbation till the parson makes oration And lie lies with snowy lilies o'er his brow; For no matter how you shout it he wont really care about it; He wont know how many teardrops you have shed; If you think some praise is due him. nows the time to slip it to him, For he cannot read his tombstone when he’s dead. More than fame and more than money is the comment kind and sunny. And the hearty warm approval of a friend. For it gives to life a savor and it makes you stronger, braver. And it gives you heart and spirit to the end; If he earns your praise bestow it; if you like him let him know it; l.et the words of true cneourgement be said: Do not wait till life is over and tie's underneath the clover For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead: W e Believe T h a t G eorge C.
