THE SMILE.

HUMAN smile-how beautiful
~ Sometimes its blissful presence
~ seems
Sweet as the gentle airs which
lull
To sleep the holy flowers Of Gul.
Which blossom In the Persian's dreams,
A lovely light whene'er 1t beams
On beauty's brow. In beauty's eye.
And not one token fingers nigh.
On lip or eye or cheek u~nbidden.
To tell of anguish vainly hidden!
But. oh, there is a smile which steals
Sometimes upon the brow of care
And. like the north's cold light. reveals
But gathering darkness therei
You've seen the lightning fash at night
Play briefly DER Its cloudy pile.
The moonshine tremble on the height,
Where winter glistens cold and bright
And like that fash and like hat light
Is sorrows vain and heartless smilei

This is the natural history of such

The fact is, that the trusts have beer
