Why should there be such whining And sad dissatisfaction Because the sun’s not shining On our side of the section. The time may seon be coming When joy may be our portion, The happy bee 6 humming Around our lovely garden. For grandly in our favor The tide may soon be turning, And we be ichly paid for The lessons we are learning. "Tis best to wait in patience, Contently persevering, To look with caim expectance For brighter days appearing. —T. E. Hammend, Elma, April 23, 1890. H. F.
