SING AWAY YOUR GRIEF.

We can sing away our cares easier than
we can reason them away. Sing In the
morning The birds are the earliest to sing
the birds are more without care than any
thing else that | know Of. Sing at the
evening. Singing is the last thing that rob
bins do When they have done their daily
work when they have flown their last flight
and picked up their last morsel offood, and
cleansed their bill on a napkin of bough,
then on a topmost twig they sing one song
of praise | know they sleep sweeter for
it. They dream music for sometimes in
the night they break forth in singing, and
stop suddenly after the first note, startled
bv their own voice. o that we might sing
evening and morning, and let song touch
song all the way through.
As was returning from the country the
other evening, between six and seven
O clock, bearing a basket of flowers, | met a
man that was apparently the tender of a
mason. He looked brick and mortar all

he had the appearance of man that would
not be afraid of work He was walking
with 1.-THE step, and singing to himself as
he passed down the street, though he had
been working the whole day, and nearly the
week. Were it not that my good thoughts
always come too late, l should have given
him a large allotment of my flowers. If he
had not been out of sight when the idea oc,,
CURED to me, l should have hailed him and
said. "HRve YOU worked all day 2" "Of

are you singing ?" "0f course [ am. "

them to your wife, and tell her what a bles-
