The small boy started on his first railway journey all by himself, and his mother told him to write his name and address on a card, and to keep it in his pocket. So he wrote:
"In case of accident, this WAS Bobby Jones."
Ingersoll clt the Tomb of Nopoleon
By R. G. Ingersoll
A little while ago I stood by the grave of the old Napoleon-a magnificent tomb of gilt and gold fit almost for a dead deity-and gazed upon the sarcophagus of rare and nameless marble, where rest at last the ashes of that restless man.
I leaned over the balustrade and thought about the career of that greatest soldier of the modern...world. I saw him walking on the banks of the Seine, contemplating suicide. f saw him at Toulon-I saw him putting down the mob in the streets rjf Paris-I saw him at the head of the army of Italy-I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi with the tricolor in his hand-I saw him in Egypt in the shadows of the pyramids-I saw him conquer the Alps and mingle the eagles of France with the eagles of the crags.
I saw him at Marengo, at Ulm, at Austerlitz. I saw him in Russia, where the infantry of the snow and the cavalry of the wind blast scattered his legions like winter's withered leaves. I saw him at Leipsic, in defeat and disaster, driven by a million bayonets back upon Paris, clutched like a wild beast-banished to Elba. I saw him escape and retake an empire by the force of his genius. I saw him upon the frightful field of Waterloo, where Chance and Fate combined to wreck the fortunes of their former king. And I saw him at St. Helena, with his hands crossed behind him, gazing out upon the sad and solemn sea.
And I thought of the orphans he had made, of the tears that had been shed for his glory, and of the only women who ever loved him pushed from his heart by the cold hand of ambition. And I said I would rather have been a French peasant and worn wooden shoes; I would rather have lived in a hut with a vine growing over the door and the grapes growing purple in the kisses of the autumn sun. I would rather have been that poor peasant with my loving wife by my side, knitting as the day died out of the sky-with my children upon my knees and their arms about me-I would rather have been that poor peasant and gone down to the tongueless silence of the dreamless dust, than to have been that imperial impersonation of fdrce and murder known as "Napoleon the Great."
Compensotion
When my luck seems all out' And I'm down in the mouth. When I'm stuck in the North And I want to go South; When the world seems a blank And there's no one I love And it seems even God's Not in Ffeaven above; I've a cure for my grouch And it works like a shotI just think of things I'm glad I am not:
A bird in a cage, A fish in a bowl, A pig in a pen, A fox in a hole. A bear in a pit, A wolf in a trap, A fowl on a spit, A rug on a lap, A horse in a stable, A cow in a shed. A plate on a table, A sheet on a bed, A case on a pillow, A bell on a door, A branch on a willow. A mat on a foor.
When I think of the hundreds Of things I might be, I get down on my knees And thank God I am me. Then my blues disappear, When I think what I've got, And soon I've forgotten The things I have not.
Yes, Indeed!
