SHORTEM SAY AND HERBERT SPENCER.

My ignorance grows dopiser ; For Shorteto Shy dearios my tatto

And tells me every minuta, 'Say papa, I don't like that book,

There ain't no lions in it.'

Now Herbert Spencer is great, A world compelling thinkor; No heavy pluminat-line of truth Goes deeper than his sinkor. But oaa man roads his work

For thousands that begin it, They leave one-half the loaven uncut-

There a't no lious in it.'

The age-old errors in their den

And ranks with Nostou, Bacon, Kans,

And a3ciout Aristotla

The mighty homage of the few-

These towering giants is it,

The millies shun their hunting ground,

There ain't no lione in it."

I leave this metaphysio swamp,

Thick grown with sturdy scions,

And roam the Meadows of Romazec,

With Shorten and his lions.

He brings his gaudy Noah's Ark book

And bege me to bugis it;

Hotter that Rubbut Fencer book,

That ain't no liona in it'

And sturdily begin it,

And read about the' ofalunte And lions that are in it.

Shortom will grow in noberasca,

His life become intenner, Some day he'll drop his 'efalunts! Anditake up Herbert Spancer

But life can have no happier years

Than glad years that begin it,

And life sometimes grave duil snd tamo
