used In Metaphorical Sense They
Are Quite Common.
Marianne expressions used metaphor
ically are, in fact. very common. We
say couple are 'spliced," a young
man is the 'mainstay" Of his family,
an intruder puts his oar in," man is
hard up" sometimes "taken aback"
or has "the wind taken out of his
SAILS" a topper Is Slowed" a loafer
spins yarn" sometimes "tries the
other tack" and a ruler steers the
ship Of state" through troublesome
times.
This last metaphor is extremely an
Client, by the way. Horace refers 10
Rome as a ship at sea. and Plutarch
says the Delphic oracle referred to
Athens In the same way. A Tamil
saying embodies like metaphor. "The
soul Is the ship. reason Is the helm.
the oars are the souls thoughts. and
truth Is the port" An old collection
or English proverbs contains this one:
The tongue Is the rudder of our ship"
"A Malay maxim says, "The boat which
Is swamped at sea may be bailed out.
but the shipwreck Of the affections Is
final"
Aristophanes, Plautus and others use
an expression which comes down to
us as an English saw. ITO row one
way and look another" An old Eng

Seeing the surprised look that
spread over his face, l turned away to
hide smile. He gave an awkward
laugh and said:
"Them's fine oysters. I'll bring q

Queen Street the arrow.
There are many interesting places
In Hampton. st. Johns Church is one,
1t was built in 1856. This old churct,

happy at intervals. To be really
happy we must know the meaning Of
what 1t is to be unhappy
Some have come to the conclusion
that the way to obtain that most
precious possession is to live life
of self-denial. In short, to discipline
ones self.
To such ainicety has the fne art OF
happiness been studied that the plain

The simple life is conducive to hap.
