live till after Election.

T at the late Presidential campaign was
one of The most exciting and engrossing
through which we have passed since the
days of Jefferson, is we'll illustrated by an
anecdote which has Just been related.
A gentleman of benevolent character
called upon one of our wealthy merchants
in order to enlist his sympathies in be-
half of mutual friend, who had not only
fallen into mistortunes, but ii health also.
He was sick almost unto death, and in
absolute want of the necessaries of life.
The merchant recognized the claim at once,
but replied:
"Just keep him alive till after election,
and | will do something for him; but now,
I really have not time t. see him."
How mal-apropos it would be in the
poor man to die at sucn crisis. 1t would
be very inconsiderate in him.
This reminds me of a poor 1rishman,
whose payment fell due on Tuesday. but
whose wife had fallen unseasonably sick
few days earlier At her last gap he
cried out in a great distress:
"Oh, Biddie, Biddie, don't yer die yet;
wait till Tuesday, Bddie, and I'll bury
yer dacently."
This matter of departing at inconveni-
ent times seems, however, to be sometimes
in quite a philosophical vein. A neighbor
having come in suddenly to inform q good
woman of the decesse Of her husband,
while she sat eating her breakfast, she
calmly replied:
"Wait till I've done eating and then
see if you don't hear crying"
MEDICAL RAps-At the recent med
ica convention holden at Lewstown,
the clergy and the members of the bar
were invited to the repast given at the De
Witt House by the followers Of Galen, and
after the cloth was removed, durny the
interchange of sentiments, the Rev, Mr.. B =,
while alludng to the intimate relations,
the physicians seriously remarked that it
was somewhat singular fact that ',oAen

The above reminds us of hard hit at
the doctors. which may be found in the
Bible. In the sixteenth chapter of the sec
ond book of Chronicles is the following:
And Asa, in the thirty ninth year of his
reign, was deceased in his feet, until his
disease was exceeding great yet in his
disease he sought not the Lord, but the
physicians! And Asa slept with his faith

Died Yesterday"

Every day is written this little sentence, =" Died
yesterday" so-and-so. Every day a flower is
plucked from some sunny home, breach made
in some happy circle, a jewel stolen from some
treasury of love. Each day, from the summer
fields of life some harvester disappears; yea
every hour some sentinel falls from his post
and is thrown from the ramparts of time into
the surging waters of eternity. Even as we
write, the funeral of one who q died yesterday
winds like winter shadow along the street.
Died yesterday" Who died? Perhaps it was
q gentle babe-one whose laugh was as the gush
of summer rills lettering in the bower of roses
whose little life was perpetual litany, May
time crowned with the passion of flowers that
never fade. Or mayhap it was youth, hope
fIll and generous, whose path was hemmed by
flowers, with not q serpent lurking underneath
one whose soul painted for communion with the
great and good and reached forth with earnest
struggle for the guerdon in the distance. But
that heart is still now he q died yesterday
Died yesterday" A young girl, pure as the
orange flowers that clasped her forehead, was
stricken down as she stood at the altar; and
from the dim aisles of the temple she was borne
to the garden of the slumberers." A tall,
crowned man. girt with the halo of victory, and
at the days close, under his own vine and fg-
tree fell to dust even as the anthem trembled
rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep" An an
cient patriarch bowed with age and cares, even
as he looked out upon the distant hills for the
coming of the angel host, sank into dreamless
slumber, and on his door-post is written, Died
yesterday"
"Died yesterday" Daily men, women and
children are passing away, and hourly, in some
graveyard, the soil is flung upon the dead. As
often in the morn we find some flower that
blushed sweetly in the sunset has withered up
forever; so daily, when we rise from the bivouac
to stand against our posts, we miss some brother
soldier, whose CHEEKY cry in the sieges and
struggles of the past has been as fire from
Heaven upon our hearts.
:. Each day some pearl drops from the jewel
shread of friendship-some Tyre to which we
nave oeen wont to listen has been hushed for
ever But wise is he who mourns not the pearl
ana music lost; for life with him shall pass
away gently, as an eastern shadow from the
hills, and death be triumph and gain.-Benj.
