THE SMILE OF LovE.--It beams in the
mothers eye as she sees beauty in or in
fant's face, and silent laugh Of unexpec-
ted Joy from her darling babe. 1t plays
with stronger and more thrilling magic on
thu maiden's couutenance IS her harts idol
meets her wishfull eye, and draws GEAR to
let her look oflove lose none Of its precious
value in needless distance between them.
And with deeper purer, joy.it comes to the
wifs's glad face when her husbands fond
gaze tells her how much is gained since
he first called her wife. A smile is, indeed
a thing Of beauty. Whether living on
the face Of gladsom youth. or flickaring on
the wan or dying features Of worn-out age
it holds its beauty still. Whether making
lovlyness more winsome, or rendering ug-
lyness less repulsive than its wont. smile
vet holds its nature--yet is beautiful
Magic Jerks therein, and stays the heart
as words never cau--quickens its quiet
pulse, or sothes and calms the hurried throb
as they may need. And beneath the en-
courae;ug influence of one sweet. uphold
inc smile, the heart itself may change its
mood--may yield its mad intent, II not
forever cast out its evil promPtings and
dark propensilies.
