R. DITCHFIELD kertoo teille runon: TAKE IT COOL.

TAKE IT COOL.
Wisdom whispers in aJl ages
Take it cool.
Like philosophers and sages
Take it cool.
Though it may be hard to bear it,
Scorn is oft the fee of merit.
But a wise man curbs his spirit,
Take it cool.
If your neighbors fawn and flatter,
Take it cool.
If they sneer, 'tis no great matter.
Take it cool.
Never get exasperated
Nor yet overmuch elated,
Or you seem so addlepated :
Take it cooL
If you fancy you are clever,
Take it cool.
Show it often, tell it never ;
Take it cooL
"When you do a noble action
It will give you satisfaction ;
Silence on the whole transaction ;
Take it cool.
If you chance to make a blunder,
Take it cool.
Do not make it out a wonder ;
Take it cool.
Never seem to care a button,
Stuff your ears with wool or cotton,
It wifi sooner be forgotten;
Take it cool.
If you are the sport of Cupid,
Take it cooL
That need not to make you stupid ;
Take it cool.
Harm not the mischievous urchin.
But mark well your plans and fortune—
That's the mood to go to churcli in;
Take it cool.
When in Hope's enchanting meadow,
Take it cool.
In grim Danger's awful shadow,
Take it cooL
Ponder well each situation,
Free from all exaggeration,
Hear once more my exhortation—
Take it cool.
