A PLACE TO TIE.

I'VE noticed aflOat and a-tramping,
/ I've seen it on river and land,
The thing that the most
You need is a post
To tie to when night is at hand.
Some sort of an anchor to hold you,
Some hawser that never will fail,
Some place you can tie
Till the storm has gone by,
To help you to ride out the gale.
So many go foolishly drifting
While rapids are roaring below,
Afoat on the tide
Without compass or guide,
Till down to disaster they go;
The need of us all is an anchor,
A painter to tie to the shore,
Some place to make fast
Till the tempest is past
And the waters are rolling no moro
So many afloat on the river,
The turbulent river of life,
Have only their own
Poor resistance alone
To conquer the trouble and strife.
A fellow needs something to tie to,
His trail DER the sea or the sod,
Some friend that is true
Who will carry him through
A woman, a pal. or God.

to be understood as meaning

original application had been
buried in the lore Of centuries,
it was applied to a single per-

If you want to be a nurse it is your
duty to take the training, for you are
