shall we Meet Again!

or the many brilliant articles that iminA
ted from the pen Of the lamented Geo. u
Prentice, we believe the following contains
one OF the finest pictures of human nature
ever written:
tThs dst OF nature is inexorable: there is
no appeal for relief from the lew which
dooms US to the dust. We flourish and fade
as the leaves Of the forest; and tho leaves
that bloom and whittier Ia day, have no
trailer hold udon life than tho mightest
monarch that ever shook The earth with his
footsteps. Generations of men will apper-
and disappear as the grass aud the mniti-
tuds that throng the world to-day will diH
appear as the footsteps on the shore. Men
seldom think Of the great event of death
until the shadows fall across their own path
way, hiding from their eyes The faces u
loved ones, whose living smile was the sun
light of their eXistsncs. Death is the an'
tagoniet of life and the cold thought Of the
tomb il the skeleton of all feas,s. We do
not want to go thr ouGh the dark valley, al
though it's dark passage may lead to Para
disc; we do not want to lay down in the
damp grave even with the princes as beds
fellows. In the beuttul drama 'Ion,"
The hope OF Immortality 50 elegantly uttered
by the death devoted Greek 6ais iesp re-
sponss in every thoughtful soul. When
about to yield his young existence as y sac
r.fce to fate, hls Clemanths asks If they
should meet again, TO which be replies:-
i have asked that dreadful question OF the
hills that look etersal; Of the clear streams
that flow forever; of the stars, among whose
field of azure my raised spirit has walked in

thy living face, l felt that there is some/

that ought long to be remembered by the
