Show DON'T BLAME THE WORLD. Don't hlame the world becausa the thorns re found among the roses; The day that breaks In storm may be all sunshine when it clones. We rannot hope to always meet with fortune's fond caressing; And that which seems most bard to bear may bring with it a blessing.- The burled seed must rot in earth ere it produce the flower. And the weak plant to fructify must havo both sun and slower; So man, to gain development, must straggle with life's crosses. And view with calm philosophy his trials and his losses A deadly, pois'nous weed may yield a salre of surest healing. The sweetest bloom may pois'nous be although Its bane concealing. Things are not always what they seem, but still twas heaven designed them. And we should class them all as good, and take them as we And them. Little we know ot this brief life, and nothing of its sequel; Then let us take in humble trust all that may seem unequal. God's ways are not our ways, and fee should, eer- , taiuly be trusted; -AU that is wrong in his good time will surely be adjusted. ' ' - . liawke s Bay Q'ew Zealand) New |
