CARPE DIEM
Pray, never search for hidden woes,
Or grievous troubles borrow;
Nor cloud the sun today—in fear
Lest it may rain tomorrow.
God makes the sunshine and the rain—
Then, if today is pleasant
Why worry o’er tomorrow’s storm—
Why not enjoy the present?
It will not make the verdant hills
Put on a brighter hue;
Nor will the canopy above
Ere be a lesser blue
If all our hours are spent in tears,—
Then let us strive alway
To see our many blessings, and
Enjoy the present day.
A BACHELOR’S COMMENTS ON WOMEN’S RIGHTS

Which earnest thought invites—
We’ll take up this expansive theme
And speak on “Women’s Rights.”
Methinks there’s many a questions, now,
Which worthy seems of note;
What say we, then: Will all things change
When the women have power to vote?
