The Teachings of Death.

Death is, at all times and under all
circumstances, a solemn thing for man
to contemplate. The death of neigh
Dor, even though we may not hare had
much personal intercourse in his life with
the deceased, casts a shade of gloom over
our minds. Mirth is hushed at the SIM
pie announcement that a fellow mortal
has run his or her course on carth-that
the one animated body, with all its won
derful organism, has become cold, un-
moving corpse, and the spirit which filled
it with life and beauty has gone to Him
who gave it. But when Death passes on
some honored or loved one-when its
icy breath strikes and withers some cher
ished object of our hearts strongest af
lection --then it is that we feel, in its full
and awful import, the universal sentence
on our race, 6 Dust thou art and unto
/ dust shalt thou return
This is sentence from which, as ma
| iterial and moral beings, none of us can
escape. To-day it is executed on the
tender household plant; to morrow on
the strong and vigorous, who rejoiced
but moment before in the prospect of
many bright and happy days. The
young, the beautiful, and the good
those who have had many joys, as well
as those who have spent many years of
care and sorrow-are alike subject to the
inevitable decree. Friends are gone
since yesterdays sun declined +; we. may
have followed before to -morrow's sun
has risen. Oh, how void are the things
of this life when viewed from the cham.
Der of death. How base and utterly con.
itemptible do all its strifes, its ambitions
its jealousies, and its hatreds appear. l
men would but reflect on the shortness
and uncertainty Of life, the nearness and
certainty of death. surely they woule
avoid many Of those chickering's and con
: tentions- those backbitngs and SANDER
: ings-which constitutes SO large a por'
: ton Of life's annoyances and miseries.
! AS the certainty of death teaches u
: humility, it should also teach us the du
ty Of charity. AS we. expect to be for

body, so we should strive to be forgivin
to those who injure or offend us. If W
