OPTIMISM.
There wis never a sunbeam lost, and never a drop of rain; There was never a carol sweet, that was siing, and sung in vain; .There was never a noble thought, but through endless years it lives; And never a blacksmith's blow, but an endless use it gives. 'Thero was never a child's full laugh or a woman's cheerful word, ~ ' That did not exalt thet state where ita tones were felt and hoard. Know, then, that, it still holds true from the skies to the humblest soil, That thero is 110 wasted love and there is ho wasted toil! —Marguerite Ogden Eigelow in . " Munsey's Magazino.-'
