THE PLEASURES OF SORROW [Some crities of the projected Optimists’ Club, ehere embers are to be fined for not smiling and even the waiters are to be merry, say that it wou! be the last place to attract a sorrowing beart.) When adverse fate is going strong Ani in my heart a sense of wrong Wels up as if it must ere long Slop over, Whit mental pain it is to see Thc empty, senseless jollity Of ‘hose who think themselves to be In clover! The foolish and unmeaning grin ‘An raucous laugh appear a sin When all delights are plainly thin And hollow, And were I dragged from out my den To mix with optimistic men I shudder as I think what then Must follow. How can a waiter’s mirth beguile A soul that dully aches the while? Shall I be cheered by those who smile For money? Or by the gibe of him who sinks His grief and jests because he shrinks From fines, and not because he thinks It funny? What, if my true love prove untrue, Shall I, my head all crowned with rue, Rush forth in Lethe’s waters to Immerse it? Nay, he who owns a breaking heart Would ne'er forego that precious smart; He only wants to sit apart And nurse it! —London Daily Mail. NOT LORD ROBERTS : The grand review of 10,000 members of the Boys’ Brigade recently held in Glasgow recalls an amusing story of a similar event which took place in the same city a few years ago. Lord Roberts had promised to inspect the brigade bat- talions, but at the last moment was prevented by illness. A local officer was secured to fill his place, and in selling tickets for the inspection it was thought only fair to let purchasers know that the distinguished Field Marshal would not be prevent. One small brigade boy came up and asked for two tickets for his father and mother. The clerk said, “ Do your father and mother know that Lord Roberts is not to be present? ’” To which the boy replied, with a look of self- confidence, “ It’s no Lord Roberts they're comin’ ce—it’s me,"'—Tit-Bits.
