The Merry Heart.

'Tis we'll to have merry heart,
However short we stay;
There's wisdom in a merry heart,
Whate're the world may say
Philosophy may lift its head
And find out many flaw,
But give me the philosopher
That's happy with straw.
If life but brings US happiness,
1t brings us. we are told.
What's hard to buy, though rich ones try,
With all their heaps Of gold;
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate're they will of mirth,
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in the merry heart,
a moral beauty, too;
1t shows the hearts an honest heart
That's paid each man his due;
And lent share of what's to spare,
Despite of wisdom fears,
And makes the cheek less sorrow speak,
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud itself in cloud
The tempest wrath begin;
1t finds spark to cheer the dark,
Its sunlight is within;
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they will Of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth.

I Would not Wish.

would not wish to bid farewell
To earth. so fair and bright
When fingers round my soul the spell
OF beauty soft and light;
And when so many joys are thrown
From Pleasures sunny hand,
Like pearls from angel fingers strcwn.
Along life's beaten strand.
would not wish to fade away
Like flowers of early cline;
When pleasant is the passing day
And sweet the summer time;
And when around me friendship smiles
And Gales blow smooth and free,
To bear my bark to golden isles
Upon life's sunny sea,
would not wish to yield my breath
And see my bright hopes fade
And crumble at the touch of earth
Into eternal shade
To be but like a fading flower,
Or like a star Of light
Falling from Heaven in midnight hour,
Forever down tonight.
And yet, at last, must come a time,
Made up of sad farewells.
When on the soul will steal the chime
Of Heavens vespcr bells.
Then would sail out on life's sea.
When the bright day grows dark;
And welcome would the voyage be,
Though in deaths silent bark.
