THE JOYS or LIFE.

The joys of life are tiny lhins,
A glance, II loving smile,
A word in tones of kindness
From lips that know no guile,
Are of the sweesest pleasures
We tind along earh's way
The sunnicst beam that brightcns up
Times heavy darksomc day.
The cloudlcss dreams of happiness
We pi. lure IN our youth.
Are visions from enchanted RESINS
Not sober dreams Of truth;
They lure us, and of we slight
The pearls that CLEAN each day,
Till late we find lite's treasures rare,
Unprizcu, has passed away.
Then let us never scorn these gems,
But gather them with care,
Aud hoard them up with miscr grasp
To gladden. days less fair;
When times bright sun to twilight hours
For us is sinking down;
When hone can only watch the rays
That gild Il heavenly crown.
