Show IT DOESN'T COST MONEY. I It doesn't cost money, as many suppose, To have a good time on the earth: The best of its pleasures aro free unto those Who know how to value their worth. The sweetest of music the birds to us sing, The loveliest flowers grow wild. The finest of drinks .gushes out of the spring All freo to man, woman and child. No money can purchase, no artist can paint, Such pictures as nature supplies For over, all over, to sinner and saint, Who uso to advantage their oyes. Kind words and glad looks and smiles cheery and brave Cost nothing no, nothing at all; And yet all the wealth Monte Cristo could save Can make no such pleasure befall. To bask In the sunshine, lo breathe tho pure air, Honest toll, the enjoyment of health, Sweet slumber refreshing these pleasures wo share Without any portion of wealth. Communion with friends that are tried, trno and strong, To love and be loved for love's sake In fact, all that makes life happy and long Aro freo to whoever will tako. McCall's Magazine. |
