Thought for the Day
There are two elements that go to
the composition of friendship-one is

Birds
Do you never think what wonderous
beings these?
Do you ne'er think who made them
and who taught
The dialect they speak, where melo-
dies

thought?

many keys,
Sweeter than instrument of man
e'er eaughtl-Longfellow.
