LEARN A LITTLE EVERY DAY.

LITTLE rills make wider streamlets, Streamlets swell the river's flow; Rivers join the mountain billows, Onward, onward as they go! Life is made of smallest fragments, Shade and sunshine, work and play; So may we, with greatest profit, Learn a little every day.
Tiny seeds make boundless harvests, Drops of rain compose the showers, Seconds make the flying minutes, And the minutes make the hours. Let us hasten, then, and catch them As they pass us on the way; And with honest, true endeavor Learn a little every day.
Let us read some striking passage, Cull a verse from every page; Here a line, and there a sentence, 'Gainst the lonely time of age. At our work, or by the wayside, While the sunshine's making hay; Thus we may, by help of study, Learn a little every day.
