BE CONSIDERATE.

Oh ! if you knew what simple things
Oft cheer the heart of others,
We'd frequent find our spirit springs
Brimful of bliss, my brothers.
A cheerful smile, pleasant word,
Which we can always give,
Perchance some dropping heart hath stirred
With strength to love and live.
An act may be by us unmarked,
But kenned by watchers near;
The song which we unheeded sing,
May strike another's ear.
If we but give our widows mite"
To aid the general veal,
To help along the cause of right,
How angel-like we feel
