LIES Sunny Side.
BY WILLIAM LEeGETT.

Through LIES dark and thorny path,
Its goal the silent tomb,
1t yet some spots of sunshine hath
That shine amid the gloom.
The FRIESD who veal and woe partake,
Unchanged, what e'er his lot,
Who kindly soo,hes the heart that aches,
Is sure sunny spot.
The WIFE who half our burden bears,
And utiers not a moan;
Whose ready hand wipes off our tears;
Unheeded all her own;
Who treasures every kindly word,
Each harsher one forgot,
And carols bliJhely as bird
She. Too's sunny spot.
The CnrLD who lifts at noon and eve,
In prayer, It's tiny voice,
Who grieves, when e'er its parents grieve,
And joys when they rejoice,
In whose bright eye young genius gIows,
Whose heart without blot,
Is fresh and pure as summers rose,
hat shlld's is sunny spot.
There's yet upon life's weary road,
One spot of brighter glow,
Where sorrow half torgets It's load,
And tears no longer flow.
FRtENnsHIP may wither, LOVE decline,
Our CHILD his honor blot;
But still undim d that spot shall shine
RELIGION lights that spot,
