Why do we need all these 800 men TO

Birds cannot smile, nor can any living

Inc heart signifies to father, husband. or

tace that cannot smile il like bud that
cannot blossom and dries up on the stalk.
Laughter is day and sobriety is night,
and smile is the twilight that how ers
between them both. more bewtching
than either. But all smiles are not alike.
The cheerfulness of vanity is not like
the cheerfulness Of love. The smile Of
gratified pride is not the radiance OF good

fall alike upon all trees and shrubs. But
when the storm passes, and every Leaf
hangs s.drip, each gentle puff of wind
brings down the pretty shower. and
every drop brings with it something oi

hung; the roadside leaf yields dust; the
walnut Leaf bitterness some flowers
