BURGOYNE HEN life has dealt you a mighty clout And you take a fall, a-kiting, When you sure are “down” and al- most “‘out”— That's when you must keep on fighting There isn’t one-half the need to stick When everything's fine and dandy ; Don’t be a quitter, but Just a “brick” When your fighting comes in handy. The “ups” and “downs” will always come, And the man for the victor's crown Is the one who keeps on making things hum, When the whole world says he's “down.” So It’s just how you take the “downs” of life, Which shows the stuff you're made of ; And you'll prove when getting the worst of the strife, That there's nothing to be afraid of!

Old Fuller says of the transporta- tion of the body of St. Louis: “His body was carried back to France, there to be buried, and was most mis- erably tossed, It being observed that the sea cannot digest the crudity of a dead corpse, being a due debt to be interred where it dieth, and a ship cannot abide to be made a bier of." Then there is the story of the at- tempt to carry the body of St. Cuth- bert Into Ireland, when the ‘sen worked high” and drove back the ship upon the English shore. And there dre any number of ancient stories of the same sort. Should new and mod- ern ones to like effect be required they can be picked up along the water- front of any great seaport. This superstition had its origin in the association of ideas, and Capt. 3asil Hall, in his book of “Travels” in the early part of the last century, gives an excellent explanation of irs genesis. He says: “This superstition is easily accounted for among men whose entire lives are passed, as it were, on the very verge of the grave, and who have quite enough, as they suppose, to remind them of their mor- tality without the actual presence of its effects.’ The knowledge of the silent passenger down below gets on the sailor's nerves, makes him appre- hensive; and If a storm does come, what more natural than to ascribe it to the presence of the corpse?
