I thought of the beautiful days gone by, They’ed been called by a diffe ent name, Perhaps they’ed been rough and ragged and unpleasant to the sight, But ir. their 1 ng and irksome j >urney ha t become so smooth and bright, So, if you have some rough edges, be sure and quickly look, And make them smooth and shining, like the pebbles in the Brook. — Marguerite Sparks twenty-ft ot trotor boat.
