O sails that seek no shelter, That need no beacon-light; In vain our harbors open, In vain our hearts invite I O watchers, all ye look for Will come, or soon or late; They cannot always tarry, Ye cannot always wait. For this work--By Hiram Rich. A STATEMENT was made in a late English paper, that among the bodies recovered from the wreck of the illfated ship Northfleet, at Lydd, near Dungenass, was a beautiful child.

Excerpt from Truro-Cape Cod or Land Marks and Sea Marks Tristram Shandy did not want to shake his credit for veracity by telling an improbable story, however indisputable the facts. We have not ventured into that debatable land between credulity and unbelief. Whatever the quality of our work, whether fish, flesh, or good red herring, we have taken the liberty of telling it honestly and in our own way. Our constant purpose has been to write nothing we should wish unwritten, and to leave unwritten nothing that belongs legitimately to our history. That we have not fully accomplished this purpose would be the most reasonable confession in the world. In every community there is an unconscious force, or sentiment, that lives in a thousand multiform conditions. Seemingly light as gossamer, it is tough as the Tellman shield of seven bull skins. Its intuitions of a good name - of home and kindred, in a described orbit, are among the best of human sensibilities. That the Cape people share quite freely in this sentiment is altogether praiseworthy, but it is a virtue susceptible of abuse and morbidly sensitive. I have aimed to write of them as they were, according to the best history and the best tradition; as they are, according to my own observation and experience.
