Never mind the clouds. never mind the
rain:
Have confidence and look ahead, the sun
will shine again;
Singing after sorrow and good health
after pain.
Sow the seed, and after a while comes
the golden grain;
Sow the seed Of happiness when all the
skies are bright.
Il the clouds come lowering down, laugh
them out Of sight.
Never mind the wind though It whistles
loud and long;
whistle up a tune yourself and then
break out in song:
Laugh away your troubles and pray
away your cares
That's the only way to climb success

People have generally three epochs IN
their confidence in man. In the first
they believe him to be everything that
is good and they are lavish with their
friendship and confidence. In the next
they have had experience which has
lsmitten down their confidence and they
then have 20 be careful not 10 mistrust
every one and TO put the worst construc-
ton upon everything. Later in life they
learn that the greater number of men
have much more good in them than bad
and that even when there is cause TO
blame, there is more reason to pity than
condemn: and then a spirit Of confidence
lagain awakens within them.-F. Bremor

hope TO find the head to contrive. united
with the hand TO execute.-Colton.
