High Thoughts and Great Thoughts Come Along the turnpike of almost every mind, some time or other, and are lost because the overworked memory is unable to carry all that is offered to it. Walking along the sea beach of the west coast of the far South, on days when Winter is everywhere but in Florida, numbers of visitors carry in their left hands cheap cotton bags to hold the pretty shells the sea is rolling up at their feet. There are wise and beautiful thoughts flowing in upon us all the time from an invisible sea, much more worth saving than the pretty shells. A peasant girl, a fanner's daughter,' in whose little wooden house at Domreiny, in France, we spent an hour, had a great thought of patriotism for her nation which immortalized her. Who does not thank old Polonius for this thought that he put down in words and saved for us? "To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." This is a good TAG to check all your business trunks with. Signed April 2.5, in IS.
