_Raising the Wind_ (Vol. vi., p. 486.).--We say "the wind rises," and this

is common in Virgil (see _Æneid._ iii. 130. 481.; v. 777.: _Georgics_, i.

356.; ii. 333.; and iii. 134.). The transition from rising to raising is

easy; and as there is no sailing without a breeze, so there is no getting

along without money: in both cases, the _wind_ is essential to progress. As

to the mode of obtaining the "needful," I know not much, but probably

whistling will be found as effectual in one case as in the other.
