AT OUR HOUSE.

There's harmony at our house,
These optimistic days;
We've learned to practice shifting,
And find It surely pays.
Old crouch has been beheaded
We've spilled his irksome gore,
And found him in the discard
He rules the roost no more.
At breakfast every mLrning,
We try our best to smile,
And though at times we miss 1t,
We find II after while.
And long before the evening,
Our smiles have grown so real,
We're laughing every minute,
For that's now good we feel.
There's happiness at our house,
Which lasts the whole day long;
We've learned to practice smiling,
No matter what goes wrong.
Forgetting all discussions,
Which ever have occurred.
We've learned to know that kindness
Is more than just word.
There's nothing gained by worry,
IT'S all a sad mistake;
We've taken all our troubles
And drowned them in the lake.
And said to one another:
We'll start all over now,
To find the road to Smileville,"
And we have found it, too.
No more Is father frowning,
Throughout the livelong day;
No more is mother fearful
With scarce a word to say.
Nor do we sit in silence,
Like mummies in their tomb:
When grim old disappointment
Engulfs the place in gloom.
We've all gone in together,
And formed ourselves in firms;
To deal In smiles and sunshine,
On very easy terms
We've made our Office hours
From noon till noon again, E.
And hope to be In business
Foreyermore, Amen!
