      Nobody died that year. Nobody prospered. There were no births or marriages. Seventeen reverent satires were written – disrupting a cliché and, presumably, creating a genre. That was a dream, of course, but many of the most important things, I fi nd,

      VOLUME XXII.—No. 5.

      BOSTON:

      JOHN L. SHOREY, No. 36 BROMFIELD STREET,

      1877.

      Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1877, by

      JOHN L. SHOREY,

      In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington.

      FRANKLIN PRESS:

      IN PROSE.

      IN VERSE.

      STEERING FOR HOME.

      STEERING FOR HOME.

      LOW, thou bitter northern gale;

      Heave, thou rolling, foaming sea;

      Bend the mast and fill the sail,

      Let the gallant ship go free!

      Steady, lad! Be firm and steady!

      On the compass fix your eye;

      Ever watchful, ever ready,

      Let the rain and spray go by!

      We're steering for home.

      Let the waves with angry thud

      Shake the ship from stem to stern;

      We can brave the flying scud,

      It may go, it may return:

      In the wind are cheerful voices,

      In the waves a pleasant song,

      And the sailor's heart rejoices

      As the good ship bounds along.

      We're steering for home.

      Standing on the briny deck,

      Beaten by the blinding spray,

      Fearing neither storm nor wreck,

      Let us keep our onward way.

      Loving hearts for us are yearning,

      Now in hope, and now in doubt,

      Looking for our swift returning,

      How they try to make us out!

      We're steering for home.

      Fainter blows the bitter gale,

      And more peaceful grows the sea;

      Now, boys, trim again the sail;
