MARRIAGE AND DEATH
Why is it that the marriage
announcements areimmediate-
ly followed by the obituary
notices in our papers2 Does
death follow SO close Oh the
footsteps of marriage2 Is grief
the page that carries the train
of happiness? Does the tomb
open wide its dark and ponder
GUS jaws beside the nuptial
couch7 IT'S the plan of life.
The gleeful songs of light and
merry hearts to-day, to-mor-
row will turn to funeral chants,
and sobbing and lamentation
be heard instead of glad peal
ing laughter. We read to day
OF our friends marriage, and
wish them joy; tomorrow we
see their deaths recorded, and
say "peace to their ashes." Our
merriest songs are timed by
footballs of death, and the
"silyery chord" is as fragile as
aspider's thread and the "gol-
den bowl" is more brittle than
glass.
