HOPE ON.

There was never a day so minty and gray That the blue was not somewhere above it; There la never a mountain top ever so bleak That some little flower does not love It There was never a night so dreary and dark That the stars were not somewhere shining; There Is never a cloud so heavy and black That it has not a silver lining. There ia never a waiting time, weary and long. That will not some time have an ending; The most beautiful part of the landscape is where The shadows and sunshine are blending. Upon every life some shadows win fan. But heaven sends the sunshine of love; Through the rifts in the clouds we may. if we win. —~— See the beautiful blue above. Thon let us hope on, though the way be long. And the darkness be gathering fast; For the turn tn the road Is a little way on. Where the home lights win greet us at last. ' ’ .
