A LAMENT
year ago there came
Sunshine in daily CLEANS.
That spread their love and brightness out
In swi.t far-reachins beams
said. I'll come within The rays
I, too Will sunshine pledge;
Then swiftly back at my appeal
There the shining badge.
Then straight my flying footsteps hied.
Said l to Mrs. G.:
Come into our society
And wear It's pin, Ike me-
So her two cents sent Mrs. O.,
Without delay or pother- -
winning her badge. and likewise did
ono most sunshiny other
And then when happy Christmas came,
Ana iovins thoughts for others Joy
Twined through the wreaths OF molly
Down from tho Sunshine column streamed
This message 10 eacn one:
Nv IN send 20 you souvenir
To mark the year that's gone
How glad was I.-but sadly now
wipe away this tear;
For Mrs G's keepsake has come
And mine does not appear
I'm not shut IN yet in my grief.
With resolution stout
| scorn 10 think O diretul thought
That have been shut out
And vet when Mrs. C. appears
v 9sKr c we n$nS xh@ 0ne can can DO
But answer with a moan
An no! Yet when three thousand hands
Some one must be forgotten.
I'll not augment their task
TIL go on spreading sunshine still
And patiently III wait
And maybe they'll remember me
Some time in SO
And so instead OF grumbling. which
think would be much worse.
beg to inclOse my New Years fee
Twill knit a Pitcher Purse"
And trust that through the coming year
The sunshine still may speed.
And warm with glowing zeal each heart
That prompts n kindly deed.
