BOTH SIDES.

man in his carriage was riding along,
gaily dressed wife by his side
In saiins and iaces she looked like queen,
And Le Ike king in his pride.
A wood sawyer stood on the street us they passed,
The carriage and couple he eyed,
And said he worked with his saw on a log,
Il wish was rich and could ride
The man in the earring remarked to hi, wife,
''one thing wOuil give i'll could
I'd give all my wealth the strength and the health
OF the man who saweth The wood"
A pretty young maid, with a bundle Of work,
Whose face as The mornin: was fair,
Went t,ipping along with a smile of delight,
While humnlins loye-breathing air.
She looked on The carriage; the lady she saw,
Arroyed in apparel so fine,
And ssii in whisper, 81 wish from my heart
Those satins and laces inue.-
Tie lady looked out on the maid with her work,
So fair in her calico dress,
And sail, III relinqush possession and wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possess"
Thus it is in the world, whatever our lot,
Our minds and our time employ
In longing and signing for what We have not,
Ungrateful Tor what we enjoy.
The heart has a void in it still,
Growing deeper and wider the longer we live,
That nothing but Heaven can fill.
