Is there not a cure for this torturing pain That will lessen the ache make ii tranquil again?" 1 asked the Sage. He turned and smiled, As he softly answered, "Yes, my child." "Do you know whai is good for a soul's unrest--By worry convulsed, or by fear oppressed? For it.s agony what will bring relief What will temper its hurt and assuage its grief?" And he smiled, as he answered low, "Panacea for every ill I know." "Then speak, tell me quickly of something, 1 pray; Thai I may apply, and this heart-pain allay; Oh, give me some balm, that its calmness may roll O'er the turbulent waves of my anguishing soul." To my earnest appeal he gently replied His words rang irue, as he came to my side : "Go forth 'neaih the shelter of Patience's calm wing, And breathe in the waters of Sympathy's spring, Then bask in ihc sunlight of Love's genial rays Move along the bright path of Mercy's sweet ways; (live helpful hand lend pitying ear Do kindly deeds speak words of cheer. "Pluck the flowers of Hope which grow at your feet, And scatter their fragrance o'er all whom you meet; And, like the soft drops of the summer's warm shower Or the morning's moist dew to the withering flower, The grateful waves from each blest heart Will flow o'er your soul and peace impart "Your heartache will vanish and a leeling of cheer Will reign in the space winch held worry and fear," I listen and thrilled; his words brought surcease; To my heart and my soul came a deep, wond'rous peace, Though dark the path in which I stray, His words will linger and light ihe way. A good bin It makes more noise than great riches. 4$- We were reading not long since of a person who wondered wheth er life had more of joy or sorrow, more of care and trouble, than ol happiness. So she resolved to line the good days with gold and the Kid days with black and at the end of the year look them over and see which had been her lot, mure of joy or more of sorrow. She found the good far outweighed the evil. We think all of us would find the same thing true of our own lives. As a rule, we look on the dark side of our own life and on Ihe bright side of olher people's. We envy the rich their ease, the educated their opportunity, the musician his popularity. We think the well-dressed, the well-led peo ple must be happy, especially if they have fine homes well furnish ed. We forget that there may be skeletons in their closets which we would dread to see in ours. If we could adopt the prayer of Ar-, gus as our own, "Give us neither poverty or riches," perhaps if we are just in that situation in life, it would satisfy some of us, but not all. We are not looking for the : golden threads running through I our lives. Sickness comes; we see j no golden threads. Death claims our loved ones, still all is dark to ! us. Adversity lays its hand upon us and the gold is still hidden. But there is a silver lining to every cloud, and when once we note the silver lining the golden thread is again running familiarly through our life. We may not see in this world why our lives have been so full of sorrow; why we have losi our loved ones or why we have not prospered, but if we reach the shining shore we shall see as we do not now, and we shall know why God dealt thus with us.
