[PARADOXICAL WORDS]

H E was up on the hustings, and thrashed with his tongue,

The air in a socialistic vein,

And as an employer, for the workers he felt,

By proxy,—a sympathetic pain!

A pang, that the few could wallow in their wealth,

Whilst many—their brothers—should sweat,

"But ha!" shouted he, with a chuckle, and a grin,
