a uoat-rido through nig-uorn Canyon.

that hc had actually endangered the
life Of bis sovereign by the clumsy
way in which he hc had acted the part
of % cOachman, he became 30 confused
that hc was unable 20 give utterance TO

much relieved when the King. before
pursuing his journey turned round and

q, think not, my friend.
That I'm always 80 sad.
Bright moments OF pleasure
And joy have bad
Moments of brightness,
OF peace, and OF love,
As bright and a. cheering
As ought from above.
But sadness viii come
And dsrken my brow,
And stern sorrow rest
On my heart even now
But ere tho dawn OF tho day
bIy grief will depart.
And JOY reign supreme
on my Wild throbbing heart.
This life il made up
or sunshine aud shade,
Flowers must blossom
To wither aud fade.
Pleasure comes with a smile,
For a time hos ers near.
Then sorrow aud grief
Follow on with tear.
But the clouds break away.
And the sunboams so bright
Gid shadows OF sorrow
With soft, holy light
We must never give way
To Rrief or to tears,
Or life will be but
A lapse Of dark years.
We can make it so bright,
SO happy and true,
IL We pass over clouds,
And look for sky soft and blue.
Then never despond
Nor give sorrow sway,
And JOY will be ours
Each swift-passing day.
