Poet r.Y
There is no Death.
BY SIR BULwER LYTTON.

There is no death The stars go down,
10 rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heaven 8 jeweled crown,
They shine forever more.
There is no DEATH The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear:
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall
The flowers may ia le and pass away<;
They only wsitthrough wIntry hours,
The coming of the May.
There is no death An angel form
slks DER the earth with silent tread;
he bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead
He leaves our hearts all desolate.
he plucks our farest, sweetest flowers;
Iransplanted into bliss. they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sing now an everla,tng song,
Amid the tree of Life.
And where he sees smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light
To dwell in paradise.
B,rn unto that undyng life
They leave us, but to come again
With joy We welcome tbem-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear. immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there is no death!

by all who have seen it one OF the finest in this

ance, being entirely tree fro disease, well filled,

ANECDoTE OF DANIEL WEBsTER.-From
"Reminiscences of MIR Webster" published in
the Washington Sunday Herald We COPY the
following:
Mr.. Webster held office-holders in great ab.
horrence. When he was Secretary of State. in
1851, Mississippian came on to Washington in
the hope of securing foreign consulate, He
made bis application, and was informed there
was no vacancy. Nothing discouraged, be pre-
sented himself at the State department, daily.
and spent an hour or two in the perusal of tbe
newspapers in the ante-chamber, but never an.
noyed MIR: Webster or any of his subordinates
by renewing his application. Several weeks
elapsed. and our Mississippian, like Mordecai
IN the Kings gate. was always ''to the fore. -
One day Mr. Webster came to the Department
ln rather bad humor The sight of the Mis-
~lsslpplan, as he passed through the ante
chamber, appeared TO exasperate him. AS be
entered the chief clerk S room he cried out.
MIR Hunter, is there any place this side of
hell We can send this man to? He'll be the
death of me-" Mr.. Hunter very quickly found
small place. worth about $500 year. for the
persistent Mordecai, and the great expounder
breathed more freely.
