There's no mistaking it ? the bright eye, the unclouded brow, the sunny smile, all tell of that which dwells within. Who has not felt its electrifying influence? One glance at this face lifts us out of the mists and shadows into the beautiful realm of hope. One cheerful face in the household will keep 'everything warm and light within. It may be a very plain face, but there is something in it we feel, yet cannot express ; and its cheery smile sends the blood dancing through the veius for very joy. Ah, there is a world of magic in a plain, cheerful face, and we would not exchange it for all the soulless beauty that ever graced the fairest form on earth. It maybe a very little face, but somehow this cheery face ever shines, and the shining is so bright the shadows cannot remain, and silently they creep away into dark corners. It may be a wrinkled face, but it is all the dearer for that, and none, tne less cneerrui. >ve linger near it, and ira/e tenderly upon it, and say, "God bless this dear, happy face !" We must keep it with us as long as we can, for home will lose much of its * brightness when this sweet face is gone. And after it is gone, how the remembrance of it softens our way through life!
