What matters then all these troubles of which I have been telling you!
Such troubles, bitter and keen at the time, are but as a breath on the
glass of life, that fade away, and are gone long before that glass
itself is shivered.
So, as I say, these sorrows and griefs that were once so bitter to me,
stir me not at this day, saving now and then, while, as I sat writing
these lines, a chord of memory did ring occasionally to the touch. Yes;
all is gone by—happiness and grief, joy and suffering, and I am like a
ship, one time battered and buffeted with the bitter storms of trouble
and despair, but now, full freighted with my cargo of years, safe at
anchor in my peaceful haven _Within the Capes_.
THE END.
