BE HAPPY AS YOU CAN .
( From the New York Dispatch . ) ¦
thy life is not all sunshine , Nor is it yet all showers , But storms and calms alternate , As thorns among the flowers ; And while we seek the roses , The thorns full oft we scan ; Still let usthough they wound us
, , Be happy 7 as we can . This life has heavy crosses , As well as joys to share , And griefs and disappointments , AVhich you and I must bear ;
Yet if Misfortune ' s lava Entombs Hope ' s dearest plan , Let us with what is left us Be happy as we can . The sum of our enjoyment Is made of little things ,
As oft the broadest rivers Are formed from smaller springs ;
; By treasuring small waters ' The rivers reach their span . So we increase our pleasures , : ' Enjoying what we can . There may be burning deserts . Through which our feet may go
, | But there are given cases j AVhere pleasant palm trees grow ; And it wo may not follow The path our hearts would plan , Lot us make all around us As happy as we can .
Perchance we may not climb with Ambition to its goat , Still let us answer " Present " | AVhcrc Duty calls the roll ; And whatever our appointment , ! Be nothing less than man ,
I And , cheerful in submission , j Be happy as we can .
