HEARTS SUNSHINE.

Oh. II only those who love US
Would but tell us while We live;
And not wait until iife's journey
Ended IL. before they give
The smile we hungered after,
Tender words We longcd to hear,
Which we listened for. but vainly.
For many a weary year.
There is much Of pain and sorrow
All must bear. and bear alone,
Yet how helpful Is the sunshine
~ a CHEEKY look and tone;
How II brlghtous UP llfe's pathway.
And dispels the shadows grim.
And restores our shattered idols,
Which We built In days now dim.
Then bestow your sunshine freelyi
Let II shine from out your eyes,
Let 1t speak In warm hand pressures,
Let II breathe In heartfelt sighs;
Let II cheer the fainting spirit
OF some brother In distress.
Let II thrill our EARRING voices
With a note Of tenderness.
For In serving fellow mortals
We best serve the Father, too.
And In Tightening their burdens
Ours grow light and fade from view.
And a sympathetic nature
That vibrates to Others needs,
j. a bit OF Gods own sunshine
Quickening 10 noble deeds.

Sunerffuaua Tall

The late Professor Huxley, who was
as shrewd an observer of men as he
was OF nature, once remarked, after
falling into an indiscretion which an
noyed him, that when man says what
he has no need to say he is sure to
blunder. The truth of the observation
will hardly be questioned unless by the
very few, if there are any such, who
never say more than there is necessity
for saying. Most of US acknowledge, if
we review our own experience in the
matter, that we have frequently erred
by saying what needed not to be said.
But why is it that people so persistent
ly commit this mistake? In the ordi-
nary small talk Of the household or Of
society it matters little whether it is
committed or not.
But when serious matters are in
question, whether in conversation, in
set. speech or in correspondence, a case
is frequently spoiled by irrelevance or
redundance. To say what you mean is
comparatively easy; to leave off when
you have said it is difficult and for
many people impossible. In Huxley's
case the fault, which he probably did
not often commit, was due neither to
want of clear thinking nor to want Of
facility in the use of words. One or
the other or both of these causes will
explain the inability to keep to the
point which is usually apparent in
the speech and writing of uneducated
persons. But often, also, the speaker
or writer forgets that extraneous con-
siderations, interesting enough to him
self, are of no interest TO those whom
he wishes to convince.
