The World’s Woes.

This world’s an endless vale o(_woe, Where man but wakes to sigh; Contentment never yet was found Below the arching sky. The thin man mourns because the flesh Is thin upon his bones; ' The lady double chin Looks in her glass and groans. The childless man would give his all To have a little one; The man with seven boys w’ould be O’erjoyed if he had nene. A down bestreaks the maiden’s lip, Therefore she mopes about; The strong man’s heart is sore because His hair is falling out. —Chicago Record-Herald.
