THE EVENING SMILE.
BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION.

JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest
IIFE.

Life is not strife for gold
Ner nnedailed fame.
Its years in joys are told
The hearth fires flame.
The roses nodding in the sun
The children's happy feet,
Some little duty done,
A pleasure feet.
Life is the joy of friends
And birds and trees,
The notes the lover sends,
Old memories,
Neighbors and sunny skies,
And little trips to make.
Tears when a loved one dies
And hearts that ache.
Life is sum of things.
Laughter and CHEEKY days.
Hope which the morning brings,
The futures roster ways,
Faith when the clouds are gray,
Grief when the shadows fall;
So we must go our way
knowing them all.
Life is no narrow span
Flung twixt a goal,
1t is a mighty plan
Shaping the soul;
All that the eye can see,
All that the heart can feel.
All that can ever be,
Turns on life's wheel.
