A SUNNY SMILE.
The Delights of the
Through the hurrying throng I caught
a glimpse
Of a face so set and gray,
It seemed us though the cares of the
world
Upon those shoulders la .
Of a sudden the eyes looked into mine,
The face lighted up with a smile
That was like the sun breaking through
a cloud,
And it made life more worth while.
Its radiance warmed my very soul
And I thought ‘‘If we only knew
That a smile makes sunshine on dark
est days
We ill would keep smiling, to«.’’
I passed it on to a woman old
And bent with the »eight of years;
tier face lighted up with gratitude,
Her eyes filled with sudden tears.
The crippled newsie waved a paper
at me,

“Gee, lady,” he said: “you look like
my roa
1 ain’t seen for a long, long while.”
1 thank you, kind friend, for that
sunny smile,
It warmeu me through and through,
So I ’ll pass it along, that its glow and
warmth
May lighten the heart of you.

he ever could get from a big
chew of the old kind.
