_Our World._--I once heard a lady repeat the following pithy lines, and
shall be glad if any of your readers can tell me who is the author, and
where they first appeared,
"'Tis a very good world to live in--
To lend, and to spend, and to give in;
But to beg, or to borrow, or ask for one's own,
'Tis the very worst world that ever was known."
