If Heaven would hear my prayer,
My dearest wish would be,
Thy sorrows not to share,
But take them all on me;

From out thy lovely eyes,
If Heaven. might grant it so;
Mine be the tears and signs.

Where the rain shall not grieve thro' the leaves

And, though life has been hard and deaths

1 shall wake in the morning to sing with the

Loved, toiled; had wife and child, and lost

but suggestions from people of experience
may be followed to good advantage.
Comparatively few people lave a clear
idea of what gear means. A mechanical
expert describes it as follows: "A safety
bicycle has a chain running over two
toothed wheels, and as the toothed wheel
at the back is smaller than the one in front
1t r%evolves more rapidly. The toothed
wheel at the back is fixed to the driving

one-half times for each revolution of the
