There arc SO many joys Of life TO
make the Journey gay. so many lovely
tovs of life to brighten Every day,
from lilies in their slcndcrness a-uod-

and tenderness that bud on all itc
walks. The foolish blind can never
see how fair each prospect lies. how
bright the road Will ever be before
their wilful eyes. for much of all the
zcst Of life belongs to him who learns
ia seek for all the best of life aud
from its sorrow turns. The wise vii
make the most of it, will clasp eacl
fleeing bliss and gladly. proudly
boast Of it that they have claim

defeats Of life, the wise can soon Tor

accounts for its renewed preference
