THE HOUSE OF SOCRATES (From the Varna Scrap Book) One could not do as he might please, Even in the days of ancient Greece, If we may judge by Socrates. For when he tried his house to raise, His neighbors came from various ways,. To blame his work but none to praise, The carping tribe of querulous men Are not more eager now, than then To judge some fellow citizen. And so this house of Socrates— The wisest head of ancient Greece— Seemed everybody to displease. One said the building was too low; One thought the owner ought to know, No house before was built just so. TH STANLEY Westlake -Love t ltti l'wedding was solemnized at the home of lien, 1). J.

So passerby looked upon, And wondered where the cash came ' from, And would it be fit to live in when done. The tongues went on in endless , ways, One fault another seemed to raise, Through all the gamut of dispraise. • Blaming the inside and the out, Each part was newly talked about, When Socrates soon stepped with- out, Said he, "I see my house you hate— It is not lofty, proud, or great, With palaces it would poorly mate. But mean or low, howe'er it tends, Its faults will make me full amends When once I fill it up with friends. Death of William R. Stewart— The. death of Mr. William R.
