 and if we have contributed one single mite to thy stock

 adversity. In either case, snatch the rod, and hasten to 

 the murmuring waters; the music of those gentle moral- 

 ists will steal into thy heart, will aid thee to temper the 

 one, and soothe the other. 



We wish thee bright streams, and breezy morns, and 

 shadowy skies, a light bosom and a clear conscience, and 

 so bid u God speed thee well."
