Master Harry, the hero of my story,
was the Youngest of nine children,
and he lived in village in New
England. He was, On the whole. a
remarkably fnc boy. and had gained
much in health--indeed in every re-

parents had tried and failed in, while
rearing Number One, Number Two,
and Number Three.
Master Harry was born in the early
part of the nineteenth century, when
such thing was unknown in Massa-
chusctts as child setting down his
little foot that it was not time to go
to bed, when his mother decided that

quaintance commenced with this most
excellent family. Master Harry was
about seven. He is not the one that
said, Il do not want to go to bed"
He never thought OF lifting his little
voice when the old clock struck the
hour for retiring; he said. good

winding stairs to his bedroom; so did

Two days after his death he was
buried in the college grounds One
hundred of the students came To take
a last look upon the face Of him they
loved and cherished. 1t was a rainy
day. The students were in mourning.
The college was dressed in mourning;
and nature seemed to mourn in COM
mon with us all. for her most obedient
son. A hymn was sung by the college
choir; a prayer was made by Rev. ii.
R. Nye; a few remarks. hastily writ
ten, were read by Rev. Ely Fay; and
then he was carried to his grave and
covered over with uafeeling earth.-
His funeral sermon will be preached
when the students shall have returned.
Perhaps he will be disinterred. by and

tomb, with his former wife. AS yet,
she rests alone, in Providence, r. l.

There's no such thing as DEATH"
To those who think Alright,
TT. but the racer casting off
What most impedes his fight;
IT'S but one little act,
I.ife's drama must contain;
One struggle kecner than the rest,
And then an end of pain.
"There's no such thing az DEATH"
That which is thus miscalled,
l. life escaping from the chains
That have so long enthralled;
IT'S a once hidden star,
Piercing through the night,
To shine in gentle radiance forth
Amid its kindred light.
"There's no such thing as DEATH"
In nature nothing dies.
From each sad remnant OF decay
Some forms of life arise;
The faded leaf that falls,
All sere and brown. To earth.
Ere long shall mingle with the shapes
That gave the fiowret birth.
"There's no such thing as DEATH"
'Tis but the blossom spray.
Sinking before the coming fruit
That seeks the Summers ray;
IT'S but the bud displaced,
As comes the perfect flower;
'Tis faith exchanged for sight,
And WEAKNESS for power.

Men.

Women are often poor judges of
men. If a man is simply agreeable to
woman, she is apt to invest him with
attributes which belong more to herself
than to him. An inexperienced and
generous-minded girl. who is all sim
cerity and affection herself. is in great
danger Of attributing to every man
who approaches her with a show OF
tenderness and love, the natural truth
and sincerity Of her ow n heart.
