In 1866 they rented the Sol Slater place and later Mr. and Mrs. Zea ran the tavern on the old stage road near the Slater place. The stage line ran from Des Moines by way of Boone to Look Aloft. In the tempest of life, when the wave and the gale, Are around and above, if thy footing should fail, If thy eye should grow dim and thy caution depart, Look aloft and be firm, and confiding in heart.

If thy friends v'oo embraced thee in prosperity's glow With a smile for each joy and a tear for each woe. Should betray thee when sorrows like clouds are arrayed. Look aloft to the friendship that never shall fade. Should the visions which hope spreads in light to thine eyes, Like the tints of the rainbow swifter to fly. pentant regret, set.

And, oh. when death comes, terrors to cast His fears on the future, his pall on the past, In the momement of darkness, with hope in thy heart, And a smile in thine eye, look aloft, and depart.
