The Sweet Thoughts of Youth.

A little boy was only a baby when his father went away to the war. Now father is back, and finds his six-year-old son a great handful, so that many sharp chastisements have been necessary. Boy passes window whistling. Our small friend: “That boy seems very happy, mother.” “Yes, dear." — Very slowly: “I think p’r’aps he has lost one of his parents.” Poets are born Just the same as other unfortunates.
