A MERRY HEART.

Clear day or cloudy day,
Summer heat or cold,
A happy heart keeps holiday
A merry heart Is bold.
Though tho wind Of fortune blow
Out of wintry skies,
Faco it smiling as you go
a merry heart Is wise.
BY md by tho sun will shine,
Day must follow night
Darkest hour Is the sign
or returning light.
God Is In his heaven still,
Though the world denies,
And CHEEKY courage waits on will
a merry heart Is wise.
Over rugged things wo climb
To our best estate;
We shall stumble many Il time,
But we conquer fate.
And wo choose the better part
So that evil flies,
When we keep the dauntlcss heart,
Tho merry heart that's wise.
