MR. FRANK H. BREWER OF BAR HARBOR.

"MEET misfortune with a smile,"
Says the cheerful optimist.
"If you're up against the world,
Get Good Nature on your list;
If you get the Marble heart,
Start up business crushing stone;
If you think the world a frost
Why!  Go to cutting ice alone."

This setting of old saws
Came to mind, as Brewer's face
Looked out from the artist's page
Where it stood above, in place;
But to carry out the thought
This suggestion I'd include
When your trade is "hard" and "cold"
Open up in Coal and Wood.

In summer, keeps you cool
And in winter keeps you warm.
Crushes the stone to build the roads
To haul them in upon.
Like the cheerful optimist
He lets all troubles slide
For he has a winter and a summer "biz"
With "Good Roads" on the side.
