NATURE'S WHISPERINGS.

By Mary E. Bridewell

A COBWEB gemmed with morning dew Is costless, yet divine; So is the smile that bids us rise Up higher life's incline.
Sunshine's refreshing, and we learn That e'en perplexing showers Are nature's hidden crucibles To manufacture flowers.
A hearty hand clasp that uplifts When hearts are sore opprest, Is like the carol of a bird That cradles care to rest.
A diamond plucked from darkness blinks And twinkles with delight, And laughter, ever after greets The sun, that gave it sight.
So, all the world is brighter when Its sunshine and its rain, Embracing, form a rainbow arch, To hide its clouds of pain. —Mary E. Bridewell.
