He Discourseth Of Trouble And Sorrow.

By Horatio Alger, Jr.

What else do they live for? They live but for this; And nothing but this ever troubles their thinking; Rich eating, rich dressing, and flirting's their bliss, And life's better purposes constantly blinking. Their life's but a tissue of trouble and sorrow Of what is the fashion or will be to-morrow.
