Man comes into this world with out his consent and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunder standings. In his infancy he’s an angel; in his boyhood he’s a devil; in his manhood he’s everything from a lizard up. In his duties he’s gen erally considered a fool; if he raises a family he’s a ch if he raises a check he’s a thief, and then the law raises him. If he’s a poor man he has no sense; if he’s a rich man he’s a grafter; if he’s out of politics he’s an undesirable citizen. If he goes to church he’s a_ hypocrit: if he stays away he’s a sinner. When he first comes into the world everyone wants to kiss him; before he goes out they all want to kick him. Life’s a funny thing anyway.
