r GOOD-BYE. A strong hand-clasp, a hearty grip, A tear within each eye, Aro all the passer-by may sea When he bids her "Good-bye. But could the hearts of these be scanned, Their inmost throbs revealed, How much of heaven-born love and faith Would there lie nnconcoaled. Their breaking hearts may rend in twain, Their tears may inward How, But still they smile, in bitter pain, That others may not know. A smile that has 110 joyousness— A stnilo and yet a cry For this, to souls both true till deatli May be the last good-bye. g Otahuliu.
