FRIENDLY COUNSEL
A SONG OF COMFORT. Not always have we sorrow, there are seasons , When buoyant joy dispels all dreams of ruth— / Times when our thoughts off sorrow seem but treasons To king-like Truth. Not always are we vext by cares and troubles, — Often the griefs of life appear no more— Vanished, as on a lake the raindrop bubbles, When showers are o’er. Not always. should we grieve, each tribulation Is sent to purify—to raise, the soul, To fit it for its glorious destination— A heavenly goal. ‘ MACKENZIE BELL. # * * * You may depend upon it that lie is a good man whose intimate friends are all good. LA WATER. * • * « * flow can He grant you what you do not desire to receive? ST. AUGUSTINE.
