Our Dead.

Are they not ministering spirits. sent forth 70
minister Tor them who shall be heirs of salvation ~
Our dead are around us. we feel their pure breath
They loved us while living. they loved us in death
They love US in heaven they watch from its towers
They cherish us eyer-the dead still 0urs,
Our dead are around us-not dead but alive
10 comfort us, guide us, and help us TO strive;
They pity us. bear with us. weep for us too
Not tears such as weep. but tears like the dew
And dropt in the darkness. as that falls on earth,
As silent, and soitening and bringing to birth
Ihe good seed within us, In bitterness sOwn,
From which, at the harvest sweet fruit alone.
Our dead are around us. without and within
Oar spirits clear vision is darkened by sin;
We cannot discern them. though near they my be,
Because the flesh binds u.s. while they clearly see.
Our dead are around us, and with us will stay
All through this llle-journey to show us the way
ese are our good angels; they lead on before,
And they will be ready TO open the door.
When Deaths key Of IRON unfasteus the lock.
And let's out the spirit with one inal shock;
Then into the pearl-gate with victory led.
We shall see that our leaders those we thought
dead. E. O. X.

GENEROSITY.
As success shall attend your future
efforts, as | trust it will, and you hav,
more and more of means at your com
mand, let your generosity and liberality
be commensurate Herewith, always be.
lieving that in true benevolence you
will find real and constant source OF
happiness. 1t may be that some of you,
perhaps most of you, have only good
name as your inheritance. Believe me,
that is the best inheritance you could
possibly have. Do not in any way be
discouraged even if you are to start out
in the world bare-handed. The wealthy
men of Grand Rapids were most of them
poor boystwenty-five years ago.
We need more and more thorough
business gentlemen men of large heart
and purpose; men who will not rest sat
istied in their own success and advance
ment but who, most earnestly desiring
the best welfare of all, will be willing
to work for its accomplishment. Not
alone those whose great aim is to accu-
mulate, but those who have means in
some measure, commensurate with the
times in which we live; who are willing
to assist in all laudable enterprises for
the good and prosperity of our city, and
State, and Government for the a9-
vancement of every true and noble un-
dertaking. / would have you go out
from your school discipline as perfectly
prepared as may be for the work in life
that you have chosen, or that you may
choose. would have you enter upon
that chosen work, whatever it may be,
cheerfully. | would have you carry it
forward with system and with accuracy.
| would have you carry such true
heart within you that every one who
comes into business or social relations
with you would recognize your worth
and so give you your due.
SUNLIGHT.
Let the sunlight always iu Nothing
SO good as plenty of sunlight; SO
Christian gentleman said to me years
ago, and shall never forget it. Never
do anything in the dark because it is
dark, and that would not bear the light.
Many of you are here from distant
homes 10 this and other States. You will
carry back with you from this school
some new aud wider views of life and its
responsibilities. From the very necessi-
ties of the case you must all soon lay
aside the boy life and assume the more
sober duties of manhood. Ali of you
rejoice that you are so soon to be men
Be men In the highest sense, having
great faith in yourselves, and the most
implicit faith in HIM who calls you all
to be His sons and heirs.

BEAUTIFUL CHILD.

The following touching lines were written by
Maj. - sigourney, one Of the reputed authors
Of "Beautiful Snow."1
Beautiful child by thy mothers knee,
In mystic future what wilt thou beY
demon of sin or an angel sublime
poison Upas or innocent thyme
A spirit of evil flashing down
With tho lurid light of fiery crown
Or gliding up with n shining track.
Like the morning star that never looks back
Daintiest dreamer that ever smiled.
Which wilt thou be, my beautiful child
Beautiful child, in my garden bowers,
Friend of the butterflies, birds and flowers
Pure as the sparkling crystalline stream,
Jewels of truth thy fairy eyes beam.
Was there ever a whittier soul than thine
Worsh,pped By love !" mortal shrine?
NY heart chou hast gladdened for two sweet year.
with rninbows of hope through mists Of tears
Msts beyond which the sunny smile,
with its halo Of glory, came oil the while.
Beautiful child, to thy look is given
A e cam serene, not of earth but heaven;
Would thou couldst ever thus be young.
Like the liquid strains Of the mocking bird,
From stair to hall thy voice is heard;
How oft in the garden hooks thou'rt found,
With flowers thy curly head around:
And kneeling beside me with figure SO quaint,
Oh who would not doat on my infant saint!
Beautiful child, what thy fate shall bc
Perchance is wisely hidden from me;
A fallen star shou t leave my eide
And sorrow and shame become the bride
Shivering, quivering through the cold street,
With a curse behind and before thy feet;
Ashamed to live and afraid to die
No home, no friend, and pitiless sky
Merciful Father-my brain grows wild
Oh keep from evil my beautiful child

JUAN ORLANDO.

Who can reflect without sadness on
the closing moments of General Neil ?
His lifelong dream had been to obtain
the little baton and ribbon Of marshal OF
France. He could not sleep after seeing
it conferred on McMahon as reward Of
valor in the battle Of Magenta, Before
the next engagement he told his friends
that he would win the prize he 30 much
coveted. The conflict was over. and they
sought him anxiously upon the CORY
field. They found him almost crushed
beneath his war horse, and the pract'ced
eye Of the surgeon told him that life
would soon be over. Word was sent to
the emperor, who quickly arrived. and
taking from his breast the badge Of the
marshal of France, ho placed it above
the heart of his faithful follower. The
lifo- long dream was realized, aud with a
single throb of oxultans joy aud graft.
tude, he threw his arms about the neck
of his sovereign; the next instant he
fell back 10 the embrace Of Kin, Death

These were, to depreciate Federal
