least�察�to believe very little in either good or ill fortune�察�as a

matter of chance。  There is always something at the back of it

which furnishes a key to the whole。  Practically�察�a man's lot is

of his own making。  He may fail�察�for a while undeservedly�察�or he

may succeed undeservedly�察�but�察�in the long run�察�time brings its

revenges and its rewards。



As it did to Donald Boyd。  He has not been taken into the house

of Bethune & Co。�察�as a partner�察�and it was long before he became

even a clerkat least with anything like a high salary。  For Mr。

Bethune�察�so far from being an old bachelor�察�had a large family to

provide for�察�and was bringing up several of his sons to his own

business�察�so there was little room for a stranger。  But a young

man who deserves to find room generally does find it�察�or make it。 

And though Donald started at the lowest rung of the ladder�察�he

may climb to the top yet。



He had ;a fair field�察�and no favor。;  Indeed�察�he neither wished

nor asked favor。  He determined to stand on his own feet from the

first。  He had hard work and few holidays�察�made mistakes�察�found

them out and corrected them�察�got sharp words and bore them��

learnt his own weak points andnot so easilyhis strong ones。 

Still he did learn them�察�for�察�unless you can trust yourself�察�be

sure nobody else will trust you。



This was Donald's great point。  HE WAS TRUSTED。  People soon

found out that they might trust him�察�that he always told the

truth�察�and never pretended to do more than he could do�察�but that

which he could do�察�they might depend upon his doing�察�punctually��

accurately�察�carefully�察�and never leaving off till it was done。 

Therefore�察�though others might be quicker�察�sharper�察�more ;up to

things; than he�察�there was no one so reliable�察�and it soon got to

be a proverb in the office of Bethune & Co。and other offices��

too;If you wish a thing done�察�go to Boyd。;



I am bound to say this�察�for I am painting no imaginary portrait��

but describing an individual who really exists�察�and who may be

met any day walking about Edinburgh�察�though his name is not

Donald Boyd�察�and there is no such firm as Bethune & Co。  But the

house he does belong to values the young fellow so highly that

there is little doubt he will rise in it�察�and rise in every way��

probably to the very top of the tree�察�and tell his children and

grandchildren the story which�察�in its main features�察�I have

recorded here�察�of how he first began facing the world。            

    BY THE AUTHOR OF ;JOHN HALIFAX�察�GENTLEMAN。;







 We went to the Zoo the Leopard to see��

  But found him an unsociable fellow。

  He would not look at us or say where he bought

  His polka´dot suit of yellow。







ROBERT OF LINCOLN。



 Merrily swinging on briar and weed��

      Near to the nest of his little dame��

  Over the mountain´side or mead��

      Robert of Lincoln is telling his name��

           Bob´o'´link�察�bob´o'´link��

           Spink�察�spank�察�spink��

  Snug and safe in that nest of ours��

  Hidden among the summer flowers。

                Chee�察�chee�察�chee。



 Robert of Lincoln is gayly dressed。

      Wearing a bright black wedding´coat��

  White are his shoulders and white his crest��

      Hear him calling his merry note��

           Bob´o'´link�察�bob´o'´link��

           Spink�察�spank�察�spink��

  Look�察�what a nice new coat is mine��

  Sure there was never a bird so fine。

                Chee�察�chee�察�chee。



 Robert of Lincoln's Quaker wife��

      Pretty and quiet�察�with plain brown wings��

  Passing at home a quiet life��

      Broods in the grass while her husband sings��

           Bob´o'´l ink�察�bob´o'´link��

           Spink�察�spank�察�spink��

  Brood�察�kind creatures�察�you need not fear

  Thieves and robbers while I am here。

                Chee�察�chee�察�chee。



 Modest and shy as a nun is she��

      One weak chirp is her only note��

  Braggart and prince of braggarts is he��

      Pouring boasts from his little throat��

           Bob´o'´link�察�bob´o'´link��

           Spink�察�spank�察�spink��

  Never was I afraid of man��

  Catch me�察�cowardly knaves�察�if you can。

                Chee�察�chee�察�chee。



 Six white eggs on a bed of hay��

      Flecked with purple�察�a pretty sight��

  There as the mother sits all day��

      Robert is singing with all his might��

           Bob´o'´link�察�bob´o'´link��

           Spink�察�spank�察�spink��

  Nice good wife�察�that never goes out��

  Keeping house while I frolic about。

                Chee�察�chee�察�chee。



 Soon as the´little ones chip the shell

      Six wide mouths are open for food��

  Robert of Lincoln bestirs him well��

      Gathering seed for the hungry brood。

           Bob´o'´link�察�bob´o'´link��

           Spink�察�spank�察�spink��

  This new life is likely to be

  Hard for a gay young fellow like me。

                Chee�察�chee�察�chee。



 Robert of Lincoln at length is made

      Sober with work�察�and silent with care��

  Off is his holiday garment laid��

      Half forgotten that merry air��



          Bob´o'´link�察�bob´o'´link��

           Spink�察�spank�察�spink��

  Nobody knows but my mate and I

  Where our nest and our nestlings lie。

                Chee�察�chee�察�chee。



 Summer wanes�察�the children are grown��

      Fun and frolic no more he knows��

  Robert of Lincoln's a humdrum crone��

      Off he flies�察�and we sing as he goes��

           Bob´o'´link�察�bob´o'´link��

           Spink�察�spank�察�spink��

  When you can pipe that merry old strain��

  Robert of Lincoln�察�come back again。  

               Chee�察�chee�察�chee。

U。  S。  SPELLS US。



 My papa's all dressed up to´day��

      He never looked so fine��

  I thought when I first looked at him 

     My papa wasn't mine。



 He's got a beautiful new suit

      The old one was so old  

It's blue�察�with buttons�察�oh�察�so bright��

      I guess they must be gold。



 And papa's sort o' glad and sort

      O' sadI wonder why��

  And ev'ry time she looks at him 

     It makes my mamma cry。



 Who's Uncle Sam�拭 �My papa says

      That he belongs to him��

  But papa's joking�察�'cause he knows 

     My uncle's name is Jim。



 My papa just belongs to me

      And mamma。  And I guess

  The folks are blind who cannot see

      His buttons marked U。 S。



 U。 S。  spells Us。  He's oursand yet

      My mamma can't help cry��

  And papa tries to smile at me

      And can'tI wonder why。



                              ANON。







 A dancing Bear came down the street��

      The children all ran to see the treat��

  Said the keeper�此 �Now�察�boys�察�come pay for your fun��

      Give me a penny to buy Bruin a bun。;







;DIXIE; AND ;YANKEE DOODLE。;



 I was born 'way down in ;Dixie�察�

      Reared beneath the Southern skies��

  And they didn't have to teach me

      Every ;Yankee; to despise。



 I was but a country youngster

      When I donned a suit of gray��

  When I shouldered my old musket��

      And marched forth the ;Yanks; to slay。



 Four long years I fought and suffered��

      ;Dixie; was my battle cry��

  ;Dixie; always and forever��

      Down in ;Dixie; let me die。



 And to´night I'm down in ;Dixie�察�

      ;Dixie; still so grand and true��

  But to´night I am appareled

      In a uniform of blue。



 And to´night the band is playing��

      'Tis not ;Dixie's; strains I hear��

  But the strains of ;Yankee Doodle;

      Ring out strong and clear。



 Long I listen to the music��

      By my side a comrade stands��

  He's a ;Yank; and I'm a ;Rebel�察�

      But we grasp each other's hands。



 Here together we united

      'Way down South in ;Dixie; stand��

  And my comrade whispers softly��

      ;There's no land like 'Dixie's land。' ;



 But my eyes are filled with teardrops��

      Tears that make my heart feel glad��

  And I whisper to my comrade��

      ; 'Yankee Doodle' ain't so bad。;

                         LAWRENCE PORCHER HEXT。







 A game of marbles

  We were having one day��

  When Baby chanced

      to come along that way。

  Too little he was

      to join our game��

  But he pocketed our marbles

      just the same。







THE BAREFOOT BOY。



 Blessings on thee�察�little man��

  Barefoot boy�察�with cheek of tan��

  With thy turned´up pantaloons��

  And thy merry whistled tunes��

  With thy red lip�察�redder still

  Kissed by strawberries on the hill��

  With the sunshine on thy face��

  Through thy torn brim's jaunty grace��

  From my heart I give thee joy��

  I was once a barefoot boy。



 Prince thou artthe grown´up man

  Only is republican。

  Let the million´dollared ride��

  Barefoot�察�trudging at his side��

  Thou hast more than he can buy��

  In the reach of ear and eye��

  Outward sunshine�察�inward joy。

  Blessings on thee�察�barefoot boy��



 O�  �for boyhood's painless play��

  Sleep that wakes in laughing day��

  Health that mocks the doctor's rules��

  Knowledge never learned of schools��

  Of the wild bee's morning chase��

  Of the wild flower's time and place��

  Flight of fowl�察�and habitude

  Of the tenants of the wood��

  How the tortoise bears his shell��



 How the woodchuck digs his cell��

  And the ground´mole sinks his well��

  How the robin feeds her young��

  How the oriole's nest is hung��

  Where the whitest lilies blow��

  Where the freshest berries grow��

  Where the ground´nut trails its vine��

  Where the wood grape's clusters shine��

  Of the black wasp's cunning way��

  Mason of his walls of clay��

  And the architectural plans

  Of gray hornet artisans��

  For�察�eschewing books and tasks��

  Nature answers all he asks��

  Hand in hand with her he walks��
