A MOSAIC FOUNTAIN HIS PROFESSION. Bv Dr. Malcolm McLeod. My boy and I rode in the trainOne morning bright and clear. When I m a grown-up man, said he, I 11 be an engineer.But soon the dust flew in his eyesAnd heavy grew his head. I would nt be an engineerFor all the world, he said. We read him stirring storiesOf soldiers and their fame.■ I 11 go and fight, cried Freddie, And put them all to shame! We told him of a soldiers life ;He shook his little head. I would nt be a soldier, now,For all the world ! he said. My boy was at a seaport town,And saw the rolling sea. Mama, he said, one evening, A sailor I shall be ! We took him to a yacht race —He had to go to bed ! I would nt be a sailor, now,For all the world ! he said. And thus to each professionHe first said yes, then no. To make a choice is hard, he said, • At least, /find it so. But what, then, will you be ? I asked, When you are grown-up, Fred ? I really think I 11 only beA gentleman, he said.
