LIFE AND DEATH.
"What is Life, Father?"
GA battle my child,
Where the strongest lance may fail,
Where the wariest eyes may be begulled,
And the ~stoutest heart may quail,
Where the foes are gathered on every hand,
Ano rest not day, nor night,
And the feeble little ones must stand
In the thickest Of the fight"
"What is death, Fatherf"
"The rest, my child,
When the strife and the toll are DER
And the angel of God, who, calm and mild,
Saysw we need fight no more;
Who driveth away the demon band,
Bids the din of the battle to, cease;
Takes the banner and spear from our failing
hand,
And proclaim an eternal peace"
"Let me die Father! l tremble; l fear
To yield in that terrible strife!"
"The crown must be won for Heaven, dear,
IL the battle field of life;
MY child, though thefoes are strong and tried,
He loveth the weak and small;
The angels Of Heaven are on thy side,
And God is over allr'

WHAT Is LIEE3

Can il be answered? Not well by human mind;
sTis quite beyond the searching miad OF man:
For all we know, it's but a dreary span,
A blossom withered by a whitening ban.
sTis but a moment 10 the scale we find,
"A bubble broken by the pass ng wind,
A dew-drep glistening in the mornig RAYS
Which disappears e'en in its younger days. .
Eve often thought, while standing by the graves,
or those who died cen IN the prime of age;
Ietheir names stand on history's lasting page;
Ifthere are acts that did their powers engage;
IL they were useful on life's stormy waves;
n they we're hsly. and with wisdom rife:
o, why their. lives 50 very, very brief2
sTis then, the spirits asks me, what is life?
But when, with sorrow, we stand near where
lie
The young, the gifted, and the lovely ones,.
For them weweep; foi them the spirit means.
Then we exclaim in sorrows monrrful tones,
Why left they US? Alas! why did they die?
Theis lives have ended, ere they have begun;
Their race is over, ere it has been run;
And they have left u.s.. ah. how very SON..
Then what is life9 Would it were answered
well. l
sTis but a feeting, momentary dream;
A breath Just blown upon a babbling stream;
A sorrowing, joyous, put a transient CLEAN,
That glares awhile, and then a tolling bell,
And funeral train proclaim that it is gone;
The spirit to the home where spirits dwell.
Such isiife; and SO its passeth on.
