For the Pulaski Citizen.
Thoughts as they Occur.

Asa cheerful, smiling face carries charm
wherever it goes, and makes around itself a
light that clears the clouded brow, and
sparklss in the dull and listless eye; go the
cup Of Joy, borne on by laughing Spring,
OVer1ows upon all animated things. Spring
hurries on, and hides herself amid the thick
blooms Of Summer-in which gorgeous
MONDAY of the year, the beautiful chaplet is
woven fall and blossoms on her brow.
I am thinking now of the springtims of
life. FaireF is the little infant in its bud
ding beauty than the opening flowers of
SPring-brighteF is the eye Of childhood
than the clear blue sky of Sumner-and not
happier are the little lambs in their lnnO-
cent gambols than little children playing
together, aud she blessing of Him who loved
them when here upon earth is with them
now. Who has ever had such happiness Is
in the happy days Of childhood? And
iheir memory. like the light of the setting
sun, grows brighter at night, and throws q
halo over the clouds Of the past. If il fades
upon those clouds as We sink to the night
Of The grave, il shall glow again in the
morning of another life
Life, 70 the laughing girl, around whose
way no strong and terrible sOrrOW has ye!
passed, in whose Peaeeful home disease and
poverty have never been unWelcome guests,
seems an easy path, Foss-bOrdered, which
can only lead to happiness. To the thought
less boy, on whose welfare is lavished the
wealth Of parental love. whose feet are ever
guarded from paths that might lead astray,
and who feels nO care save as meadow is
