For 1t is not mental
To try and be congenial.
sympathy always goes
And cheerfulness flows
AL through our life
II we avoid strife.
Your friend always knows
Where your sympathy goes
BY the kind words you place
And the smiles on your face.
II makes us feel grand
When together we sand
All through our life
IN Joy or in strife.
Geniality helps us in sickness
And keeps US from weakness;
II helps Us get wealth
And keeps us in health.
II we bear out our part
OF the trouble which art,
am sure il Will pay
And gladden. our day.

There's nothing here on earth deserves
Half of the thought We waste about tt
And thinking but destroys the nerves,
When we could do so we'll without IT,
II folks would let the world go round
And pay their tithes and eat their
dinners
Such doleful looks would not be found.
To Brighten us poor laughing sinners.
Never sigh when you can sing,
But laugh, like me, at everything.
One plaques himself about the sun.
And puzzles on. through every weather,
What time he'll rise. how long he'll -un,
And when he'll leave US altogether.
Now matters il a pebble stone
Whether he shines at six or seven?
II they don't leave the sun alone,
At last they'll plague him out OF
heaven,
Never sigh when you can sing,
But laugh, Ike me- at everything,
For tears are vastly pretty things,
But make ore very thin and taper.
And signs are music's sweetest strings,
But sound most beautiful on paper,
| Thought IS the sage's brightest star,
Her gems alone are worth his finding,
But as I'm not particular,
Please God, I'll keep on never mind

/ Oh. In this troubled world Of ours
A laughter mines a glorious treasure,
And separating thorns from flowers
| Is half a pain and half a pleasure;
/ And why be grave instead Of gay?
/ Why feel athrist while folks are Quan.

/ On, trust me, whatso'er they say,
There's nothing half so good as laughing
Never sigh when you can sing,
But laugh, like me, az everything,

All hail to he who browns his grief
And greets you with a SMILE
The world IS better that he lives;
Just emulate his style.
If at your best you but persuade
Some melancholy fool
To brace, and start in life anew,
Your victory is dual.
To aid. TO cheer. to lend a hand,
And cast a smile about,
Turns on the flame of keen delight
And puts remorSe to TOut.
