fec. accord Of ideas in regard to the

A SMILE.

IA smile is trife, AYE, truly indeed
But mission most blessed it hath:
To disslpatc sorrow, to brighten the home,
And enliven the drearies1 path
Nature sets the example, and smiles in her flowers
That peep from their sprinklfng Of dew;
In q rainbow that chimes, after heaviest showers.
From sky that is smilingly-bluc.
How reluctant Is man her disciple to be;
The slightest Of cares can annoy,
And then he will wonder md dismally froWo
At others that smile in their joy.
Not smile that is chronic,-not that do mean
That fingers forever and aye;
For is not the sunshine more welcome by far
After darkness has reigned in the sky!
But one that fs cheerful and honest, and kind,
That is frightened by chanty's glow
That 1ousens the ice by Indifference made,
So the waters OF kindness may flow.
There's plenty Of sorrow, and trouble, and care,
We cannot remove from the earth:
But still, il "a cup OF cold water is blessed
May not cen smile be OF worth!
