The True Wife.
Oftentimes have seen tall ship glide
by against the tide as if drawn by some
invisible bovine with a hundred strong
arms pulling it. Her sails were untitled,
her slreamers were dropping, she had
neither side-wheei nor stern-wheel; still
she moved on stately, in serene triumph,
as will her own life. But | knew, hidden
! beneath the great bulk that SWAN so
| majestically, there was a little tolisome
| steam bug, with heart of fire and arms Of
| iron, that was tugging it bravely on; and
| knew if the little steam-bug untwlned
her arm, and left the ship, it would wal!ow
and roll about, and drift hither and
thither, and go off with the reAuent tide,
no man knows whittier. And so have
known more than one genius, high-decked
full -freighted, full-sailed, gay-pennoned,
that for the bare, toiline arms, and brave,
warm beating heart of the faithful little
wife that nesties close to him, so that no
wind Or wave could part them, would have
gone down with the stream and have been
| heard of no nlore.-O w Holiness
Safety on the Ocean.
