Slacken not sail yet At inlet or island; Straight for the beacon steer, Cut through the foam;- THE WATER GABIES. SHEILA.

The first is, that children should throw stones, clubs, and brickbats up into fruit trees to knock down fruit; if they would let it alone it would fall itself. The second is, that men should be so foolish, and so wicked, as to go to war and kill each other; if let alone they would die themselves.
