A WIFE BETTER.

Sunshine’s not as bright today,
Dear, as in the far away;
So I’m sighing every minute,
Since you’re framed no longer In it;
Spring has less of flower and song,
Winter lonesome and long;
Not the same sweet world today
Dear, as in the far away 1

Sweetest birds to Heaven would sing,
Winter’s lips breathe blooms of Spring;
All life’s sweets the world would know.
All the dim, dead violets blow;
And. the world would be sweet today,
Dear, in the far away,

by Rev. Atkinson at the Baptist church
lost Sunday morning are a great in
spiration to even a poor, benighted
soul, and are the means of elevating
weak humanity to a higher plane.
Would that we could have more of that
kind of sermons, as they help all to
aspire to grander and nobler things as
we travel the rugged pathway of life.
