While in attendance at the late State Con-

Sidney Clarkeis campaign speeches, and tho
bitter manner in which he denounced the
Leavenworth TINES, the Lawrence State
Journal, the Topeka State Record aud the
Fort Scott Monitor, a representative Of eacl,
OF which were in attendance ut the Conven-

cially delighted to honor during the cam

Daniel w. Wilder, of the leading paper, the
LcavcnwOrth TIME, quietly looking on at the
war being waged in the Convention, with rs
much cOmpssedness as the Crown Prince

he had taken in the great battle which had
just been fought in Kansas, and which had
resulted 80 disastrOusly to corruptionists. A

Across the stand and little farther along
sat the veteran editor Of the Record, Baker.
Where is the man in Kansas who docs no,

OF humanity for the perfection of the saints
IN light. Revs. Reuben Davis and George
Morrison, fellow-laborers with Mr. Finney
and each other, are now enjoying that
blessedness which they so faithfully and
earnestly recommended to Others. These are
gone-all gone-and many Others that
might name, but Mr.. Finney has been left,
link connecting the present with the
past-like solitary tree where once stood
a forest with thousands of pleasant mem
cries clustering about him like the mistle-
toe clinging to the peeled and stricken oak.
Mr.. Finney has of course forgotten the
plump, inquisitive little boy who for several
years during the first third of the present
century carried him the Bond Of Union every
Thursday. livery well remember that during
this period. perhaps about 1926 or 1926, he
erected handsome stone residence on the
old road to Havre de Grace, a mile or two
from Herbert's X Roads, in which presume
he still resides. In his younger days he
was an earnest, impressive preacher and
Judging from the extract in the Democrat,
the fire and pathos, and beautiful imagery
OF his early ministry have not left him.
remember something of this pathos at the
burial ofmy bosom friend Robert Morris
rison, in 1896 or 1927. Poor Bob, he was
lald to rest in the old cemetery at Church
vile, where l, weeping, broken-hearted
boy, followed his remains, the only one in
all the large procession whose tracks were
imprinted in the dusty road, that sultry
summer day, for alone was on foot. 1
passed the sacred spot by moonlight in
October last, where all that was mortal of
that poor boy had been sleeping for more
than forty years, and dropped silent
tear to his memory.
Although not much given to sombre
thoughts, but disposed rather to look to
the brighter side of life's picture, never
think OF the early and unexpected death of
Robert Morrison without feeling that
shadow rests upon me. He was mere
boy, quiet, unobtrusive and genial, and
among strangers. His parents lived in
Delaware, and he had come to Bel Air to
be educated, with the ministry in view.
We often talked the matter over in our
guileless simplicity-he was to be Pres
byterian minister, and a Methodist. The
Lord took him away, and I, although per-
mitted to live all these years without soli-
tary spell of serious sickness (and PERHAPS
for that reason) have never even approxima-
ted the goal of my youthful anticipations.

ROSE 10 THE DEAD,

BY MRS. sIdoURNIY:
plnck'd a rose for thee, sweet friend,
Thine ever favorite flower,
bud long had nursd for thee,
Within my wintry bower;
group'd it with the fragrant leaves
Ihat on the myrtle grew,
And tied it with silken string
vi soft cerulean blue
brought the rose TO thee, sweet friend
And stood beside the chair,
Where sickness long thy step had chain'd;
But yet thou vert not there
turn'd me to thy curtaind bed,
Sofair with snowy lawn
Methought the unpressd pillow said
mot here, but risen and gone"
Thy book of prayer lay open wide,
And mid its leaves were seen
A flower, with petals shrunk and dried,
Last Summers wither'd queen;
1t was flower gave thee, friend,
Thou lov'st 1t for my sake
"See-here a fresher one 1 bring,
No lip in answer spake.
Then, from her sofas quiet side
raisd the covering rare
"sleep'st thouI-upon her forehead lay
Unstrr'd the auburn hair.
And when to leave my CHERISHED flower
Her gentle hand STOLE
That icy touch Its fearful chill
Congealed my inmost soul.
All, friend-dear friend And can it be
The last sweet word is said?
And all too late my token comes
To cheer the pulseless deadl
Here, on thy cold unheaying breast
The proms'd rose lay,
The last poor symbol of u love
That cannot fade away
But thou from yon perennial bowers
Where free thy footsteps glide,
Or from those shores of bliss that meet
Life's never wasting tide,
Yea-where beside our Saviour's throne
Doth grow the immortal tree,
Pluck thou an angels stainless rose,
And keep it safe for me-
