Learn to Smile.
HEADQUARTERS.

smile is much better than a frown.
We do not mean a deceitful smile, like
the kiss of Judas, but a smile from
heart that has sunshine in it. Looking
on the bright side of things is a habit
worth cultivating. Such practice will
give out pleasant countenance. Per-
feet love that 'hopeth all things is
worth obtaining. That is, that hopes it
is not SO bad as represented. A heart
wreathed in the love of God will nearly
always make an illumined face, even in
spite of sorrow. Some one has beauti-
fully written:
1 saw a smile-to poor twas given,
And he was old.
The sun broke forth; saw that smile in heaven
Wrought into gold
Gold of such luster ne'er vouchsafed to us.
1t made the very light Of day more luminous.
Wrought into gold We that pass down Ife's
hours
So carelessly
Might make the dusty way path Of flowers
If we would try.
Then every gentle deed we've done, or kind
word given,
Wrought into gold, would make us wondrous
rich in heaven

Do not forget as you go your way
Thru this busy world, with its toll and strits,

And brighten day that is hard and long.

But there's heart and hope in bit of song.
