QUIET WAYS ARE BEST.
w hats the use of worrvinx.

What's the use of Worrying.
OF hurrying,
And scurrying,
Everybody hurryinc.
And breaking up their rests
w hen everyone is teaching us,
PREACHING and beseechng us,
10 settle down and end the fuss,
For quiet ways are best.
The rain that tr;clles down in showers
A blessing brings to thirsty flowers;
Sweet fragrance from eacn trimming cup
The gentle ohyrs gather up.
There's ruin in the tempest's path;
There's ruin in the voice Of wrath;
And they alone are biest
Who early learned To dominate
Themselves their violence abate,
And prove by their serene estate,
That quiet ways are best
Nothing's gained by worrying.
By hurrying
And scurrying,
With frettng and with fiurrying
The tcmper's often lost:
And III pursuit Of some small prizs
Werush ahead and are not wise.
And find the unwonted exercise
A fearful price has cost
lis better far 10 join the throng.
, That 10 their duty right along;
Reluctant they to raise fuss,
Or make them elves ridiculous.
CAIN and serene in heart and nerve,
heir strength IS always in reserve
And nobly stands each test,
And every day and all about
| By scenes within and scenes without
We can discern, with ne'er a doubt,
That quiet ways are best.
