Death.

Why cling we to the raimcnt frail we wear,
Why fear to drop the treasures We have won
And sleep to wake not ? Unto those whose hope
Is fixed on tn eternal hills of Truth
'Tis beautiful to die It's endless gain
'Tis but the paling of ruby lip,
The folding of an eager, restless hand,
To wake and walk with pure ones gone before
Upon the borders of celestial streams
To know no more decay or weariness,
But peace, and calm, and everlasting rest.

not as brilliant and vivid as it was twen-

which occurred, say twelve years ago and
