THE BETTER WAY.

By Joan Somerset

GRUMBLE?—No; what's the good? If it availed, I would; But it doesn't a bit— Not it.

Laugh?—Yes; why not? 'Tis better than crying, a lot; We were made to be glad, Not sad.

Sing?—Why, yes, to be sure; We shall better endure If the heart's full of song All day long.

Love?—Yes; unceasingly, Ever increasingly; Friends' burdens bearing, Their sorrows sharing, Their happiness making; For pattern taking The One above, Who is Love. —Joan Somerset.
