Look on the Bright Side. 'Old man, I prithee, tell me why You always wear a smile; Though otheis oft look wan and sad, How do you time beguile? Though doomed to care and penury, And bowing down with age, Yet still light-he .rted, blithe, and gay, You tread life's weary stage.' I'll tell thee all, my youthful friend,' The good old man replied 'Whate'er may hap, I always look Upon the brightest side. O'er all the land there's not a man, How hard soe'er his lot, But, if he will, can often find A bright and sunny spot. I'yc lived and toiled for many a year Beneath the summer's sun, And in the winter cold aDddroar, My labor still went on; And in that varied course of years Did much of ill betide, But tili I always strove to look Upon the brightest side. When sieknes8 came, and hours of pain Dragged wearily along, And mournings sad and murmurings vain Dropped from my fteble tongue. Kind hearts were tlierc, and kindly words Kell softly on my ear. And lovir.g ones were always nigh My fainting heart to cheer. And through m ortg ad wearied life I've learn'dthis lesson well That ii this world of care and strife, There's more of good than ill; And e'en in poverty and toil, Peace with us will abide; Man may be happy, if he will But see the brightest side-' My Bonnie Wifey.

Forgive the omission. Ti e knowlodge will be indispensable to you in understanding the great degree of interest I manifested, and the wide awake look which dilated my eyes, as pair of the pretties', most neatly gaitered little feet in the world, made their appearance upon the wooden step of the old coach. I always did admire a dainty, slender, plump little foot on a woman. After the feet, came a pretty figure habited in a brown riding dress. I looked anxiously for the face. Alas! an envious blue veil hid it from my sight. But I caught a glimpse of a small, gloved hand, I the ylimmer of a single golden curl dancing out of the jaunty, blue-veiled hat, heard one of the most musical 'thank you, sirs' addressed to the rough-looking driver, who handed out from the coach a crimson : carpet-bag and a brown parasol, and then and thsn well, I don't know exactly what followed, only that the little feet tri)ped past me into the hotel, and I went off in a visionary fit of romancing, such as susceptible young bachelors are apt to indulge in when they have nothing else to employ their time.
