marine journalism seems to be pet child
| of Nature and the favored son of Time.
We have known each other these many
years, and we have grown up as
brothers, and we haye learned to
| loye and admire each other az
such. But, alas We haye now met at
"the forks in the road the one leading
down. down through the dark shadows
of the valley OF death, and the other up,
up through the beautiful sunshine of
peace and pleasure to the beautiful gates
a jar" We have met here that we may
know and understand each other better
than ever; that we may not mistake each
other as true and tried friends, and that we
may cling to each other as friends in the
future with tonder hopes and with afiec-
| ton truer, than we have been in the past.
Old friend, come, put your hand in mine,
Let's start from here together,
We've been through all the storms of life,
Now let's have pleasant weather.
Let's you and now take the road
That's sunshine, love and flowers
The road of thorns was never made,
Dear Cons, for feet like ours.
We're halfway down the hill Of life
We've been to each brother,
We've tried the trough road'' long enough,
Say, Cons. let's try the other.
It's psyedw sunshine oil the way,
And joy beyond measure
To walk the iiowery road that leads
Usioa home of pleasure.
So. Cons, look up into my face
Before the hour of starting;
As we have been such bosom friends,
Why should there be o parting
| I've looked for years TO hnd this road,
And often tried to strike;
So, come-the further on we 60
The better we will like it.
