S EXETER, N. H. Another year has gone, Ilow time does fly! ,Twas hut yesterclay I was liorn, VVhat can I do lmefore I rlie? Well may we ask the question, For there's oceans of work to do, And the tempter makes this suggestion: Don't let the worltl's work troulsle you. That is all very well, my clear lmrother, For the thoughtless, the false, and the ch But not so for the men with a mother iltl, Like the school that upon us has smilecl. I might make a liard or a preaeherg I might he a lawyer, or worse, Ilowever, I'm quite a good teacher Of how to look after your purse. VVhatever we do, let us do it As well as we can from the startg I sell trash, but I try to imlmue it NVithheauty, and merit, and art. l've got no great lmrain, antl no money, liut I keep a right hancly oltl mart, Call around and with worrls full of honey I'll try from you the good coin to part. It's no use to lie preaching anrl joking, For this space in Tim l'1cxN costs a lot, I must say for my wares, I'm not soaking, Though you think so sometimes when you're hot. I must now save my cash, for the summer Is at hancl when the liirfls take their Ilight, The wee lafls that hacl ne'er left their mamma llave now learnecl to fly like a kite. They know so much more now than ever They will vt hen they get to lie men, That they try all the time to lie clever, Anrl they really are quite now ancl then. To guide all these lads, Alma Mater, Is a task that requires great skill, But we know that nowhere is there greater, So we leave them to you with a will. If they drift against us to begin with, To learn fast they surely will try, For they'll see if they tlon't, here they can't live, For someone will sure shut their eye. iii
