' - X ,I 7 - , 7 As I whistle, and smoke, and hammer, I hear, Beneath all the laughter and chaff that goes on, A low, steady beat that is muffled and sweet, Yet, soft though it be, it is mighty and strong. 'Tis not with the ear that I hear this strange sound, 'Tis merely the inner-man catches the tune, As the rain on the eaves or the rustling leaves In midst of our dreams on a sweet night in June. 'Tis the throbbing and pulsing of many strong hearts- The whisper of spirits united in rhymeg Much joy and some pain can be heard in the strain-, As always in songs of a long ago time. I hail you, old comrades, and drink your good health: I hear your sweet singing, so sad yet so gay! I hail you and greet you, and soon I shall meet you, ,For I'll be a Grad, too, by next Patrick's day! Twenty- I-.ight

I -- 13' W T t5S ew. h The Man Who Didn't Succeed They sing of the men who build the mills And girdle the earth with steel, Who fill the hour and wield the power That molds the public weal. Honor to them that in honor do The work that the world must need, And yet in chief I hold a brief For the man who didn't succeed. 'Tis not to excuse the indolentg No plea for the down and out,' Nor specious rot condemning what The leaders are about. Merely to ask in a casual way Of those who chance to read, For fairer view, and kinder, too, Of the man who didn't succeed. His house is small, his table light, His family must endure The snubs and sneers of the buccaneers Whose debts fall onthe poor. T Yet his is a home and no hotel, His wife is a wife, indeed, There's nothing above his children's love To the man who didn't succeed. Admitting it's true that he did not make The most of his talents ten, He won no pelf nor raised himself At the cost of his fellow men. His hands are clean, his heart is white, His honor has been his creed- Now who are we to say that he Is the man who didn't succeed? -Peter Reed.
