SOMEBODY ELSE.

WHO'S Somebody Else? I should like to know. Does he live at the north or south? Or is it a lady fair to see Whose name is in every one's mouth? For Meg says, "Somebody Else will sing," Or, "Somebody Else can play," And Jack says, "Please let Somebody Else Do some of the errands to-day."

If there's any hard or unpleasant task Or difficult thing to do, 'Tis always offered to Somebody Else— Now isn't this very true? But if some fruit or a pleasant trip Is offered to Dick or Jess, We hear not a word about Somebody Else. Why? I will leave you to guess.

The words of cheer for a stranger lad This Somebody Else will speak, And the poor and helpless who need a friend Good Somebody Else must seek. The cup of cold water in Jesus' name, O, Somebody Else will offer, And cords of love for a broken heart Brave Somebody Else will proffer!

There are battles in life we only can fight, And victories, too, to win, And Somebody Else can not take our place, When we shall have "entered in," But if Somebody Else has done His work, While we for our ease have striven, 'Twill be only fair if the blessed reward To Somebody Else is given. —Union Signal.
