HEY don't do things no\'1' as they used to do, Time used to be when on~! man made a shoe, But now an expert sews, or pastes or pegs. Things are not now as once they used to be. This doctor helps yon bear, that one to see, One auscultates, another saws your legs. The ancient way to us would ~~m right queel'. We could not live, alone; gone is the pioneer lVho did all things, dependent on himself. The antique style we should not understand; "Do one thing well" the rule is (llf our land, "Specialize or lose the race for }lelf." Once in a while we find tbis is 1l10t so. Oft doth a giant pine 'mid saplings grow, Showing the broader spread of ancient days. There are exceptions, sure, to (~very rule; I know a genius of the olden ~:chool Whose tout savoir recalls the olden ways. In school he leads the child, marries the man (As Justice of the Peace); does what he can To guard the public health, improve the common lot; As coroner upon your corpse he'll sit. • Johannes in loco a title is, most fit. (I could translate jt, but would rather not.)
