Who can tell the value of h smile? It cots thegifer nothing, but it is beyond price to tho erring ond relentinjr, the sad and cheerless, the lost and forsaken. It subdues temper, turns liatied into love.and paves the darkest paths with gems of sunlight. A-smile on the brow tbeiays a kind hcait, a pleasant friend, a kind Liother, a dutiful son, and a happy husband It adds charm to beauty, decorates tho face of the deformed, de-formed, and makes beautiful woinon roEeinhle the Angel of Paradise. Who will then refuse to smile? |
