If we take the gineral average
of the people as they come;
they’re voluble on some things,
while on others they are dumb.
. . . And, you’re forced to this
conclusion—if you’ll only take
the pains,—that they’re more
inclined to money than an over
plus of brains. . . .
I wouldn’t do injestice to the
chick or child of man, who pins
his faith to dollars and replevins
all he can—but we can’t dismiss
the question from the feller that
reflecks, how brains compares
with dollars In acquirin’ men’s
respecks!
Sometimes the man with mil
lions creates an awful stir, —
while the baggy-kneed philos
opher is one we’re sorriest for.

tune. that’s been handed down
to him, may writd a fust-rate
poecsy— but his chance is mighty
