A QUIET LIFE.
A little crib beside the bed, A little face above the spread, A little frook behind tho door, \ A little shoe upon the floor. A little lad with dark brown hair, A little blue-eye, face so fair, A little lane that leads to school, A little pencil, slate, and rule. A little blithesome winsome maid, A little hand within his laid, A little cottage, acres four, A little old-time household store. A little family gathering round A little turf -heaped tear-dewed mound, A little added to his soil, A little rest from harder toil. A little silver in his hair, A little stool, an easy chair, A little night of Faith-lit gloom, A little journey to the tomb.
