Are our words deemed a rhapsody by any . Be it so .

A Good Honest Heart.
A GOOD HONEST HEART .
BY G . LINNiEUS BANKS . " I ' M happy , I ' m cheerful , I'm merry and gay , From year ' s end to year ' s end—so time glides away ; Though on humblest of fare or on dainties I dine
, Contentment and peace are companions of mine . There is joy in my cup—there is health at my board , And , though poor , yet in spirit I'm rich as a lord ; For this is a maxim from Avhich I'll ne ' er part—The true spring of peace is a Good Honest Heart !
I frown not on those whom the world calleth great , For what God has denied can be no wMm of Fate—I speak no ill word of my dear fellow-man , But endeavour to do all the good that I can . Should the orphan and vridow look in at my door , I Avish them " God speed !"—perhaps do something more ; For this is a maxim from which I'll ne ' er part—The true spring of peace is a Good Honest Heart !
What were this world to me , and tbe pleasure it brings , If love to my soul lent not freedom and Avings 1 And as for the next—dare I dream of its bliss , If my duty to man were neglected in this ? Then murmur who will!—let the selfish plod on , And be true to the teaching of rule " Number One ;" This , this a maxim from which I'll ne ' er part—The true spring of peace is a Good Honest Heart J
