And travel far and wide. , . See other towns and cities; See other folks and scenes ; . And sing and whistle ditties You learned when in your 'teens. It isn't well to stay at:hoir.e Forever and a day; But sometimes one should quit and roam, To drive dull care away. The grind will get you, neighbor, If you remain too long; So why not mix your labor With care-free rest and song. Each seventh day, The Book, says rest; And it is wise and right. The God of all knew what is best, And gives us day and night. We need variety and change . While dwelling here below On plain, or mountain peak or range; In sunlight or m snow. Monotony will hurt the mind ; We should diversify; , Too constant work is but a grind Which gets you bye and bye. Mix work and rest, and blend them well, As you would mix your feed ; Then what appraisers have to tell Will make men gladly read. - WAYNEWOOD THEATRE. Monday, May 23rd.
