THE BRIGHT SIDE.
There is many n rest in the road OF life.
II we only would stop-to take it,
And many tone from the better land.
II the querulous heart would wake il.
To the sunny soul that is full Of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth.
The grass is green land 1.-THE flowers are
bright,
Through the wintry storm prevalent.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue Gsky,.. viii soon peep
through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted!
There was never nightlwithout day,
Or an evening without a1morning,
And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes.
Is the hour MISUNDERSTANDING.
There is ever gem in the path OF life,
Which we pass In our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown,
Or the minors boarded treasure;
1t may be the love of little child,
Or a mothers prayers to heaven;
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For q cup OF water given.
Better to weave in the..web of life
A bright and golden 6lling.
And to do Gods will with q ready heart
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate slender threads
OF our curious lives asunder.
And then blame heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit, and grieve, and wonder.

Aunt Maria writes in personal letter:
Dear Asws Madoe:
Did you mean Sept. and the next day IL
that day should be stormy, or did you mean
the next fair day for our reunionf Please
make IL the next fair day II Sept. is bad, and
say just what you mean by .fairr--if we are
to call . doubtfui-looking morning bad. or,
must 1t be really rain that shall stop us; SO
many can't understand ard we want such q
big crowd. so make It very plain.
Now, don't you all call that matter Of
defining the word "fairn poserf We all
want to 60, and we want good day, but
it is surely hard to decide Just how much
indication OF rain should warn us to wait
for better prospects Of pleasant weather.
II ii should be 'sthunder-showery" that
morning, or the clouds indicate heavy
rain, not many would want to take = long
ride with the uncertainty of the gathering
there Of those they are anxious to meet.
What can do but leave it to the ;udg-
ment OF each, and o. "Dell" has . tele-
phone, IL appearances are doubtful'', let
make her, for the time being, central
operator and head Of the NJ. B. informa-
ton bureau. But il it is . decidedly
stormy day we will ~ait for the next fair
day il it should be o. late as Saturday.
Aunt Maria says she does not quite agree
with Esther about keeping guests in the
parlor: "For one, I've no parlor; next
want my guests right where l am; any
how all those who care for us enough to
visit us. My idea is that ideal guests are
the guests who come and live with us the
hours, days or weeks they are with us; en-
Joy our company and all that we take an
interest in, even our view and the sky and
clouds"
Aunt Maria, We are greatly pleased to
know you intend to be at "Deli's'. We
would gladly put on the date to have you
with rs. AUNT MAD0E.
