were brought into port By the British Queen,
which took them of the Loch-Earne on the

The Fear of Death.

The dread OF death Is universal and
instructive; and yet how many
rush into its arms! Suicide is most
impressive fact in this connection.
The disappointed lover, the dlscour-
aged adventurer, the suspected clerk,
the child wounded in its self-love or
fearful punishment, faces the great
enemy and invites his blow. Every
now and then the community is
shocked by suicides 50 unprovoked
and so frequent as almost to persuade
us that the natural fear Of death is
passing away. The Inconsistency is
easily explained. Nrd Bacon says
there is no passion that will not over
master the terror Of death. For pass
ion is thoughtless; occupied wholly |
with an immediate suffering, it makes
no estimate Of any other kind OF pain;
absorbed in an instantaneous sorrow, it
takes no other sorrow into account.
The mind entertains but one passion at
a time, whether it be joy or fear.
But men are not always or generally
under the influence Of passion. Ordl-
nary life is calm, calculating, consid-
crate, and it is to ordinary life that
death is so terrible. It,s the thought
Of death is terrible, not death. Death
is gentle, peaceful, painless; instead Of
bringing suffering, it brings an end Of
suffering. It,.is a misery's cure.
Where death is, agony is not. The
process of death area Il friendly. The
near aspect of death is gracious.
There is picture somewhere of a fear
fnl face, livid and ghastly, which the
beholder gazes on with horror, and
would turn away from, but for hid |
eous fascination that not only rivets
his attention, but draws him closer tc
it. On approaching the picture the
hideousness disappears, and when di-
rectly confronted i is not any more
seen: the face is the face of an angel. |
1t is a picture of death, and the object
of the artist was to impress the idea
that, the terror of death is in appre
henson. Theodore Parker, whose OBJ |
scrvation of death was very large,
has said he never saw person Of any
belief condition CT experience, un-
willing to die when the time came,
and ny own more limited observation
confirms the truth Of the remark.
Death is an ordinance Of nature, and
like every ordinance Of nature is di
recred by benefcent laws to bene-
fcent ends. What must be made, isl
made welcome. Necessity is beauti-
