Transcriber Notes
- Obvious typos and punctuation errors corrected. Inconsistencies in spelling and hyphenation left as in original.
- In the original Table of Contents, the Humorous and Birthday Verses chapters were listed with the correct page number, but out of order. They have been put in the correct order.
- The book advertisement at the end uses a right pointing hand character. If the device font does not support this character, ☞, it may not appear correctly.
- Use of small capitals at the beginning of verses made consistent.

Our lives are albums, written through

And as the blessed angels turn the pages of our years,
God grant that they may read the good with smiles,
And blot the ill with tears.
