THE SHIPS OF THE SEA. Still are the ships that in heaven ride, Waiting fair winds or a turn of the tide; Nothing they fret, though they do not get Out on the glorious ocean wide. Oh, wild hearts that veaTn to he free Look and learn from the ships of the sea! Bravely the ships in the tempest tossed, Buffet the waves till the sea he crossed; Not in despair of the haven fair, Though winds blow backward, and leagues be lost; Oh weary hearts that yearn for sleep, Look and learn from the shis of the deep! —F. W. Boiirdilon. -X- * -X- -XThe path of a good woman is indeed strewn with flowers, hut they rise behind her steps, not before them. You must learn to deal with old and even in life, as well as in figures. —George Eliot.
