A MOTHER'S JOY.
A mother's joy is a holy joy, Yet her gladness is mixed with fear, For she trembles to think what a precious gem Is given her to treasure here.
Sho dreads lest the frosts should blight her bud Ere its beauty has timo to unfold; Sho foars lest the tiny feet may fail Ere they got to the gates of gold. —From Sheila Quinn, Tennyson Street, Dominion Iload
