Life and Death.
From Household Words.

WHAT'S Life, Father3"
ga Battle my child,
Where the strongest lance may fail,
Where the wariest eyes may be beguiled
And the stoutest heart may quail.
Where the foes are gathered on every hand
And rest not day or night.
And the feeble little ones must stand
In the thickest of the fight"
"What is Death Father?"
"The rest my child,
When the strife and toll of life are DER,
And the angel Of God, who calm and mild
Says We need contend no more;
Who driveth away the demon band,
Bids the din of battle cease;
Takes the banner and spear from our fall
ing hand,
And proclaims an eternal peace.
"Let me die. Father | tremble fear
To yield 10 thnttasssbie strifcis So
The crown must be wen for Heaven, dear,
In the battle field of life
My child, though the foes are strong and
tried,
He loveth the weak and small
The Angels of Heaven are Oh thy side,
And God is over all"
