The Poet Of Cheer sat in bis library
deep In thought. while his poor wife
was wrestling. after the fashion of
Eve. with the serpents Of domestic
cares.

man said. as she entered the room tim

And soothe the chill Of winters guIse

So lustrously aglow.
That's very pretty. waddy, dear"
said the poor woman. but Just at
present there are more pressing things
than poetry that must be attended to.
Cook has just left us because her
wages were not paid prompt
That reminds me-" said the poet
smiling sweetly, 81 haven't read this
little thing to you that I dashed OF
last night:
What though my friends have passed me
by
And left me stranded here?
What though my. hearth Is cold and
A hopeless wreck appear?
Mid all the dread OF Loneliness
And all the woes that round me press
There's rare felicity
When Polly's smile
So free from guile.
Like sunshine shines on me

Though skies be dark and care and cark
Shall linger on my way.
No plant Of mine. no grievous whine.

Up in the nursery!
There was no answer. Ms JinX had
disappeared. and the poet resumed his
work. When two hours had passed and
the pangs Of hunger had begun TO
make themselves felt the poet arose
from his desk and called:
ssMariaP'
There was no answer. and the poet
repeated the call:
"Oh. Maria: I'm ready for my
lu-unchr'
Still there was no reply, and the poet
walked out into the kitchen. There,
pinned to the icy range. was a sheet Of
paper on which were written In his
wife's handwriting the following lines:
Now, what care for cark and care,
And unpaid bills round everywhere.
And life domestic with its snare
Or woe that courage smothersI
When dark and dreary is the sky
shall not weep nor shall sigh
Because the kids and also
