her clothes in flames He Immediately pro-
cured pail of water, which he threw over over
her, but she was so much burnt that she died

WHY SHOULD MORTALS BE
PROTTO1
1.-THE following beautiful lines were written by a
poor, Scotch shoemaker, and are really worthy of
republication. Friend Of Virtae


republication.-FI Friend Of V'rtael
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud
Like fast deetng meteor a fast ileetlng cloud,
A flash of the lightning, break of the wave,
He passes from life to his rest i'll the grave
The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade
BE scattered around, and together be laid;
The Young and the old, the great and the high,
Shall moulder to dust, and together shall le
The hand of the king that a sceptre hath borne
Tho brow of priest that II mtre hath worn;
The eye of the sage, and the heart of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave.
The maid on whose check, on whose brow, in whose
eve,
Shone beauty and plcasure,-her triumphs are by;
And the memory of those who beloved her and
praised,
Are alike from the minds of the living erased.
The peasant, whose lot was to SOW and to reap,
The hcrdsmen who climbed with the goats to the
steep;
The beggar who wandered in search of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
The saint that enjoyed the communion Of heaven,
Tho sinner that dared to remain unforgiven;
The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just,
Have quietly mingled their bones ip the dust.
We are the same things that our fathers have been ;
We see the same sights that our fathers have seen
We drink the same stream, and we feel the same sun
And we run the same course that our fathers have
run
The thoughts we are thinking on, they too would
think;
From the death we are shrinking from, they too
would shrink;
To the life we clinging to, they too would cling
But it speeds from the earth like bird the wing
Yea, hope and dependence, ard pleasure and pain
Are mingled together like sunshine and rain;
And the smile and the tear, and the song and the
drge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.
IT'S the twink of an eye It's the draught of BREATH
From the blossom of youth to the paencss of DEATH
From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud
Oh! why should the spirit Of mortal be proudY
