TEARS.

Tears are the saddeS,, and funniest things
in the world. There are great variety ol
tears. We weep because we are Happy, and
because we are miserable; when we are an
gry for spite, and often have COOL quiet cry
FOR nothing but because we feel like It,
" hen we hear that long absent friend is
dead, we give vent 10 our anguish in tears, and
if he returns unexpec' edy and lalslfeS the
mournrul statement we weep for joy, because
ne is alive. When any Of our brothers OF SIS
ters are married, with streaming eyes and
jowncast faces, we wish them all possible hap
pness, and the newly welded pair in delnge
Of salt water, vehemently protest that they are
perfectly so.
We get in tearing rage at some imaginary
slight or injury, and after boiling and foaming
and vowing all sorts Of vengeance, cool of
with passion Of tears. When We discover
our mistake, and mutual apologies are eHchan
ged, we melt into tears Of sorrow and conri
ton, and think we htve acted very abSurt
and ridiculous part.
Ii we meet a Sorow-b bowed mourner w
mingle tears with theirs in sympathy, and /
we are in a merry gathering where lnughie
aud song hold sway. we join in the Joyous Inc
lee lill the fun drops come rolling over ou
cheeks.
We often get mortified, and the tears vii
come in spite of our utmost efforts to repres
/ them, and when we get through crying w
we over again, because We were so extreme
ly foolish as t. weep in the first place.
All along ife's journey, from the cla'le t.
the grave, our paths are placed alernalel
with smiles and tears, roses and thornS. W,
think one day when our sun is behind clou
that this is a very dismaI humdrum sort Of
world, and gloomiy, ,eartulIy, wish we ha
our lot cast in some other.
The next, as the silver lining rolls over,ar
sheds Joy and sunlight around US, we thin
after al,tnings are not so bad as they might /
and with mingled laughter ana weeping, tx
press our gratitude for many blessings.
