HOW LITTLE IT COSTS.

How little II costs, if give it thought,
To make happy some heart each day!
Just one kind word or a tender smile
As We q on our daily way;
Perchance a look will suffice 70 clear
The cloud from neighbors face,
And the press OF a hand in sympathy
a sorroWful tear efface.
One walks IN sunlight; another goes
All weary in the shade:
One treads q path that is fair and smooth.
Another must pray for aid.
Il costs so little, I wonder why
We give II so little thought.
