THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many rose in the road of life,
If we would only stop TO take it;
And many Il tone from the better land,
Ii the queruiOus heart would make 1t;
To the sunny soul that is full of hope,
Ana whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
Inc grass Is green and the flowers are bright,
Though the winter storm prevalent.
Better TO hope, though the clouds hang low,
And Keep the eyes still liued;
For the sweet blue sky will still peep through
When the ominous clouds are riftede
There was never night without n .lay,
Or an evening without morning:
And the darkest hour-so the proyerb goes
Is the hour before the dawning
There is manya gem in the path of life,
Which We pass in our idle pleasure
That is richer tar than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's boarded treasure;
IL may be the love ofa little child,
Or "A mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only heggar's grateful thanks
For cup of water given.
Better TO weave in the web of life,
\ bright and and golden filling;
IND 10 do Gods will with 81 ready heart,
And hands that are prompt and willing,
Than TO snap the delicate, minute threads
Or our curious lives aSundar,
nd then blame heaven for the tangled ends
And sit and grieve and wonder.
