Your letter last week ha attracted friend who wishes your name, which you failed to end with your letter. Will you pleas send It to us T Following are the word to "Better Than Gold," which you requested some time ago. 1 hop this i th poem you have In mind. BETTER THAN GOLD Better than grandeur, better than gold. Than rank or title a hundredfold, la a healthful body, a mind at ease. And simple pleasure that always pleas: A heart that can feel for a nelghbor'a wot, And share In his joy with a frlendVy glow. With sympathies larg enough to Infold All men as brother. Is better than gold. Better than gold Is th sweet repose Of the son of toll when their labors close. Better than gold I the poor man's sleep. And the balm that drop In his slumbers deep ; Better than gold is a thinking mind. That In realnes of thoiiRlif and books can And A treasure surpassing Australian ore. And live with th great and good of yore. Better than gold la a peaceful home. When) all the fireside charities come, The abrine of lov. the haven of life. Hallowed by mother or sister or wife ; However humble that borne may be. Or tried with sorrows by Heaven's decree. The blessings that never were bought or sold, And center three, ar better than gold. Bettr than gold in affliction' hour la th balm of lov with its soothing power; Better than gold on a dying bed Is the hand that pillows tn sinking head. When the pride and glory of life decay. And earth and its vanities fade away, The prostrate sufferer ne?ds not to be told That trust in Heaven is better than gold. Alexander Smart.
