COMMONPLACE LIVES.

"A COMMONPLACE life," we say and we sigh, But why should we sigh as we say? The commonplace sun in the commonplace sky Makes up the commonplace day. The moon and the stars are commonplace things, And the flower that blooms, and the bird that sings; And dark were the world, and sad our lot, If the flowers should fail and the sun shine not— And God, who studies each separate soul, Out of the commonplace lives makes his beautiful whole. —Home and Country Magazine.
