MADE HIS HEART GLAD.
•Twas night, and the editor lay in bed,, and thought of the weary day tie had just passed, of his aching head, and the bills he had to pay. He watched the stars through the window peep, and Cynthia's silver beams, till his eyes grew tired, and he fell asleep and passed to the land of dreams.
He slept and dreamed till the morning broke and the day began its race, and the wife who lay by his side awoke and gazed on his placid face.
She looked and saw on his face a light like the sun's first golden ray that softly kisses the mountain's height as the darkness flies away. Then she nudged his arm, for 'twas time to rise, as the clock was striking seven, and asked as he rubbed his sleepy eyes, "'Did you dream you were in heaven ?"
"Oh ! not quite that, my love," said he, "but it made my heart so glad ; I dreamed that a man came in to me and gave me a full-page ' ad.' "
