Christian's Mistake by Dinah Mulock — Read

_"The little griefs -- the petty wounds -- The stabs of daily care -- 'Crackling of thorns beneath the pot,' As life's fire burns -- now cold, now hot -- How hard they are to bear! _

_"But on the fire burns, clear and still; The cankering sorrow dies; The small wounds heal; the clouds are rent, And through this shattered mortal tent Shine down the eternal skies. "_
