What is the Value OF a Smile?

-
Who can tellp Like the sun
shine it is hard to estimate it's
value, for though it costs the giver
nothing, it very likely means all
the difference between black des-
pair and oheerfulness and hope.
A kind smile is beyond price to the
erring but repenting, and cheers
them to struggle back to the paths
of right and duty, from which they
have divergs d in pursuit of pleasure
and folly; while to the sorrowful
the desolate and the forsaken it
has the happiest effect, only COM
parable with that of the sun in
dissipating the thick clouds and
fog which sometimes entirely OBJ
scure fair landscape. A smile is
a token of warmth within; it shows
the kind heart Of the friend. the
affeotionate brother, the loving
child of the happy husband. 1t
adds charm to the plainest face.
it enchances the beauty of ths
most well-favored and it makes the
gentle, gracious woman appear a
veritable angel in the eyes of the
man who loves her.
