DEATH.-What a fearful name il isl The
executiOner of the divine displeasure. on
fallen race-the cold, hearthless desolater of
friendships, and homes, and hopes, and plans.
And how multiplied the channels of his ap-
prooch! Think of the many innumerabls
diseases WAish prepare the way for his fatal
stroke. Think OF the many dangers, seen and
unseen, which are continually around our path.
The atmosphere we breathe, the food we eat,
the water we drink, the smallest insect which
we can discern, are all his voluntary auxiliaries
Well does Flavel say, The smallest pore in
The body is door large enough to let the
destroyer in We say of the mariner on the
treacherous deep, that lie momentarily floats
wiIhNnly slender plank between him and
eternity; but our insecurity on land is as great
as his, Were not our senses benumbed to
the vOce ofappea, we should read a warning
IN every witnering blossom, in every falling
leaf. in every fading flower or every wind that
slshs. Even sleep would be to us mighty
monitor of death-an ever present emblem oI
our mortality.

heart of manhood is sometimes melted to tears
of sympathy-they arc what elevate him above
the brute. l love to see tears Of Affection
They are painful tokens, but still most holy
There is pleasure in tears-an awful pleasure
If there were none on earth 10 shed tears for
me, would be 10th to live; and II no one 70
weed over my grave, could never die in peace
