It had some grains of truth, at least,
That fable of the Sybarite.
For whom, because one Leaf was creased,
The rose-strewn couch had no delight.
I think not even sanguiue youth
Expects its gold without alloy;
Rua this is stiIl the sober truth;
A little Pain can mar much JOY.
IT'S pity. that one thwartiDg thought.
Oae adverse chance, one sudden lear.
Or sharp regret, can turn to naught
The full c1ntent that seemed so near!
But this strange life Of Ours a5ounds
With notes 50 subtle, they afford
A thousand discor}s aud harsh sounds
For one harmonious, perfect, cord.

Directors to heads of families that no unneces-
