"Generaton after generation" says an
eloquent modern writer, shave felt as we
feel, and their fellows were as active in life
as ours are now.-They passed away as a
vapor, while Nature wore the same aspect
of beauty as when her Creator commanded
her to be. And so likewise shall il be
when we are gone! The heavens will be
as bright over our graves as they are now
around our path; the world will have the
same attraction for offspring yet unborn
that she had once for ourselves, and that
she has now for our children. Yet little
while, and all this will have happened!
The ,hrobbing heart will be slilled, and
we shall be at rest. Our funeral will wind
Oil its way, and the prayers will be said.
and the grave clods will be thrown in,
and our friends will return, and we shall
be left behind to darkness and the worm.
And it may be for some short time we
shall be spoken of; but the things of life
will creep in, and our name will be for
gotten. Days will continue to move on,
and laughter will be heard in the very
chamber in which we died; and the eye
that mourned for us will be dried and will
gIislen again with joy; and even our
children will cease TO think Of us. and
will not remember to lisp our name
Then shall we have become, in the touch
ing language of the Psalmis,, forgotten
and clean out of mind n'-knickerbock.
