THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS DEATH.

There's no such thing as death"
To those who think Alright,
'Tis but the racer casting off
What most impends his flight:
'Tis but one little act,
Life's drama must contain:
One struggle keener than the rest.
And then an end of pain.
There's no such thing as DEATH
That which is thus miscalled.
Is the life escaping from the chains
That have so long enthralled
'Tis once hidden star,
Piercing the clouds of night.
To shine in gentle radiance forth.
Amidst 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 will mingle with the shapes
That give the flowers birth.
There's no such thing as death; :"
lis but the blossom-spray,
Singing before the coming fruit,
That seeks the summer ray;
'Tis but the bud displaced.
As comes the perfect flower:
Ills faith e changed foi sight,
And WEAKNESS for power.

property placed on the tax du
plicate at $1,000 and l paid
S25 tax, the same amount that

house by legal process, and l
had mortgage to secure the
return of my property and if
he refused to return my 81 900,
could by legal process take
the house. 1iI- rs l..t

equal to mine, he paid exactly
as much as | did, the house was
