Words Of kindness filly spoken,


Are like pictures set in gold; -
They contain loves brightest token,
Free from dross and cank'ry mould.
They are gifts Of richest value,


From the donors heart poured forth;
They enlarge The giver's treasure,


And enhance his princely worth.
They cast no blood nor golden gems.
Like words Of strife fe--contenlion; M
They fall upon the hearts Of friends.
Like gentle dews from heaven.
/ Words Of kindness fifty spoken,


Shed upon the broken heart
All the balm Of life's best portion,


Healing every pain and smart.
Speak kindly, then, 10 all you meet,
lss Along the rugged path of life;
The low, the rich, the noble greet,
Z But not with words Of bitter strife.
