to see Republican Prosperity" writ
ten in big letters across the front OF

there are many such scenes in the land

am generally cheerful: should be
for | have much for which to be thank
full. | have a little stunted plant of
cheerfulness in my heart. | am watch
ing over it tenderly. | am carefully
cultivating it, and sincerely hope that
it will some day put forth a sweet little
amaranthan blossom of true happi-

upon me. The little plant of cheerful
ness in my heart withered until | was

tears in order to save its precious life.

l peep
Out on the mad world where men are
at strife,
And shudder with pain when my time
comes to leap
for life
