&ortal mb 3|f mutual IjiUxm *** l? M1M UHJU* IT Wm? . ,?j It 1m Always Ho. , Act-out* the meadow, with clover so sweet, I wandered one evening with weary feet, For in y heart was heavy, with un sold woe, For everything seemed to go wrong, you know. "i'wan one of those days whose care* and strife Quite overshadowed the good In life So, lone and sad, 'neath the twilight stars, I wandered down to the pasture bars To the pasture bars, 'neath the hill side steep, Where patiently waited a flock of * sheep For the happy boy, with whistle andk shout, Who was even now coming to turn them out. ? "Good evening," said he, with boy ish grace, And a smile lit up his handsome face. He let down the* bars; then we both stepped back, And 1 said, "You have more white sheep than black." "Why, yes," he replied, "and didn't you know? More white than black; why, 'tis al ways so!" He soon passed on with his flock round th?u?lU, But down by iiSe pasture I lingered still, i Pondering well on the words of the lad, "Moro white than black," more goo than bad. . More Joy than sorrow, more ; bliss than woe; "More white than black," and 'tis always so!" And since that hour, when troubles rife. Gather and threaten to shroud my life- ? Or I see some soul on the downward track ? I cry, there are more white sheep than black. And I thank my God that I learned tof know ?The blessed fact, it Is always so. ?Mrs. M. Felton.
