Nor charms him with her gentle light While one small ship, its sails are riven, The stranger wakes from his repose Abides the furious blasts of heaven. And eyes the storm with looks serene, He speaks; the list'ning water flows Loud and more loud the billows roar, Calm as in Eden's peaceful scene! And dash the white foam o'er the deck; The winds his high commands obey, The storm is fiercer than before; And in soft whispers die away. -> Dr. John C. Bennett has been appointed Master in Chancery for this county by Judge Douglass.
