FRIENDLY COUNSEL
DUTY DONE. Sweet in the wood a birdie sings, With feathers’grey and brownish wings; You’d hardly think so sweet a throat Could hide beneath so poor a coat. Within the house a maiden stands, With homely face and homely hands; And yet her goodness fills the place With more than beauty, more than grace. And in his field the labourer’s toil Wins harvest from the stubborn soil; And from the labour of his hand Rise up the riches of the land. As each one strives to do his best, With work and song the world is blest; And from the sense of duty done; TJie joy of happiness is won. AV. E. A. AXON «**, • . • Life runs not smoothly at all seasons, even with the happiest; but after a long course the rocks subside, the views widen, and it flows on more equably at the end. f TASSO.
