THE SJFEETEST THINGS on EARTH.
By MARY C. DOwD.


What are the sweetest things on earth ?
Lips that can praise Il rivals worth
A fragrant rose that hides no thorn
Riches of gold untouched by scorn.
A happy little child asleep;
Eyes that can smile though they may
weep;
A brot hers cheer; fathers praise
The niinstrelsy Of SIMMER days.
heart where never anger burns;
A gift that looks for no returns
Wrongs overthrow pains swift release
Dark footsteps guided into peace
The light OF love in lovers eyes,
Age that is young us well as wise
An honest hand that needs 10 ward,
A life with right in true accord.
A hope-bud waxing into joy;
A happiness without alloy;
A mothers kiss; ii baby's mirtl
These are The sweetest thing on earth.
