At last he saw a gonion bough floating in the waters. On„the bough rested a car - shoal bird, with wings tired through the long flight. In that hour Columbus exuliod and his heart sang, for joy. With instant ig la vision he leaped from the bough to le the great forest, from the single bled 3r to gooks of sweet songsters, just hehind the red clouds and the setting sun was that" undiscovered coun- try." And so lie sailed on, tho long night through, knowing that, whim the day dawned and the shadows fled Away ho would behold the now worId. All 1010(5 she result; this is lilstory. For the explorer the bird of hope and that of the golden hough told no Iles. They were the forerunners of this spletoliti continent. And not otherwise is it with tlio deep longings of the Meta. At home m ya, wife or child Is ill. In tho night you awaken full of fear. And then a great, sweet hope spritsgs up. The child shall not return to you, tut YOU SHALL CO TO MM. . Suitclonly the hopo immortal sings In your liocutt Bice a bird. It tells of the undiscovprod country of Shakes- peare, of the happy hills of Paradiso.
