POETRY OF THE WEEK.
% JUST TELL THEM SO.
Thei«*s much to do v the whole way through, ' , And little use complaining; For the darkest night, will change to light, And the blackest cloud quit raining. If worth you find in weak mankind, 'Twill do all good to know You saw the thought they nobly wrought, And frankly told them so.
Enough will remain of bitter pain With all the aid you lend; Some will be sad, and others glad, Down to the journey's end. As in the throng you pass along, With rapid strides or slow, If virtue you see in bond or free, Just stop and tell them so.
There are many cares in home affairs That wear the brain and heart, And many a way, 'most every day, In which to bear a part. If you love your wife as you do life, It will keep your heart aglow. And make her "feel your love is real, To often tell her so.
