A HAPPY LITTLE WOMAN.
There's a happy little woman in the house across the way— A happy Httle woman I declare ; About her homely duties she goea Binding all the day, ,< . " 'Though burdened she may be with many a care. A smile i< always ready to appear Upon her face, That seldom is diaficrnred by a frowti ; ,Auu«ue boar« her daily oroases with such cheerful neds and grace, You'd think she felt the pressure of a uruwu. I see her at the window with her baby now and then ; I No picture of Madotttta is morn f ai<\ And when she greets her husband -^he's, | of conrne, the best of me a-* Oh> what a happy family »» tlwre I The house is full of sunshine where 'Mm happy wotimfi dwell- 1 , Whtitever'it may luck of worldly wealths And the light upon the faces of her dear on«» truly tells Their hearts enjoy the very best of fc*lll>. Oh, many a costly pleasure we might easily forgo, And many a creature comfort do without ; j Nor fancy it a trial, nor our deprivations know, Whtft a'happy little woman i« about. j She sets Our blessings forth in more conspicuous array, And helpa u« find the sunay spots of earth ; And 6h! it often happens until she's gone j away We never fully tealise her #»rth. J ! Oh, Wessed is the theart and the fireside | where she I Dispels every threatening tloud of strife I And tuore fr»rtunafte than many a millionaire is he j Who has a happy little woman for his > i wife I
