The Dead of 1873.

The death-roll of 1873 is a long one,
and embraces the names of many
eminent men and women Of both
hemispheres. Among distinguished
foreigners who have died, and whose
names are familiar the world over, the
following are the most prominent -
The Emperor Napoleon Sir Edward
Bulwer Lytton, the novelist Adam
Sedgwick, the English geologlst !;
Macready, the great tragedian John
Stuart Mill, the economist Ratazzi,
the prominent Italian statesman !;
Clara Mundt, the novelist, better
known as Louisa Muhlback Sir
Edward Landseer. the renowned
artist; King John Of Saxony, and
Henri Rochefort, the Red Republican
leader of France.
In our own country we number
among the prominent dead, Governor
Geary, of Pennsylvania Chief Justice
Chase, Oakes Amcs, James Brooks,
William Whiting, members of Con-
gress Mansfield II. WalwOrth the
novelist, killed by his own son Horace
F. Clark, the railway operator; Hiram
Powers, the sculptor Jesse Il
Grant, father of the President Fred
erick Dent, father in-law of the Presi-
dent John p. Hale, so well known
in the political history of the country !;
General McCook, killed at Yankton,
Oak. Laura Keene, the eminent
actress General Hardee, author OF
''Hardees Military Tactics :" Gov.
Yates, of Illinois Louis Agasiz /;
Samuel Nelson, ex-Justice of the Su-
preme Court, and others of less re-
nown.
Death has been particularly busy
among prominent clergymen in
America. In the list we find the name
of Joel Parker, d. d., Il prominent
Presbyterian clergyman, Of New York /;
the Rev. George Atwood, of New
Hampshire; Bishop McIlvaine r. S.
Storrs, d. d., of Massachusetts and

as we'll as preacher; Solomon Howard,
ex. President of the Ohio University,
and Bishop Armitage, ofthe Episcopal
Diocese of Wisconsin.
1t is said by those who have com
pared the lists of prominent dead for
1878 with those of 1882 or 1857, that
though the mortality among distingu-
ished men has been very great, it is
not so large as in those years, and
perhaps not so great as in Others that
might be mentioned. However this
may be, the roll is long and painful
one, and contains many names whose
owners have not only the plaudits OF
their own countrymen, but the admi-
ration of the world Chicago Inter-
| Ocean.

The Tragedy of Life.

Life is a monstrous disappointment,
and death the only portal to peace.
There is not 4 day that passes in
which virtue does not sell itself for
bread; in which some poor, harassed
or frenzied creature does not rush mad
ly upon death in which the good are
not prosecuted and the weak trampled
upon. Behind windows YOU look
heedlessly at tragedies, red as any his
tory or fiction ever painted, are being
PLAYED, and faces YOU admire mask
with smiles AMI inward torture worse
than the agony Of the rack. Who
among our readers has realized the
fulfllment of his early hopes? Whose
life has not its notifications, its bit
ter concealments, its studied evasions,
its poignant humiliatons, its wild
uneasiness, its wrestling and defeat?
But we do not represent life. We re-
present the fairest portion and the
highest level of it. Beneath us is the
great mass of humanity, and they
writhe and moan and weep; they toll
and strive, and curse and fight, and
die. The world goes roaring on as
needless ofthose who fall as the gale
in autumn is needless of the leaves it
strips from the trees or the branches
it wrenches away.

Letter from HartIand.
EDITOR AGE---

EDITOR AGE---
Last Wednesday evening as l sat
thinking what might write that
would please the Editor, their appear
ed to me vision coming out of
Heaven, an Angel, in the form of an
old man, leaning upon his staff, whose
head was silvered over with years.
As he came forward with slow and
feeble steps, said to him Father,
what shall / do to be saved My son,
said the old man, store thy mind with
useful knowledge lay hold of the
great truths of life 60 out into the
fields and learn lesson of wisdom
from the God of nature. The humbl-
est flower that raises its head to kiss
the morning dew can teach you a
lesson of wisdom, if you but heed its
instruction. | know, my son., where
of you would speak. l was taught
while on earth to look up to the skies
as the dwelling place Of our God.-
That, my son, is mistake-God is
with you and all around you-He is in
every spear of grass, in every tree,
bush or shl1b-TIe is the soul of every
flower that sheds its fragrance about,
distilling its sweets like the dews of
Lebanon. Our God, my son, is a
God of Wisdom. wisdom created all
things, it governs all things and the
more wisdom and knowledge you
gather while travelling through your
earthly pilgrimage the better it is for
YOU But, father, I have been taught
that there was something of more inn
portance than wisdom Look, my
son, at the advice Solomon gave to
his son He says wisdom is the
principal thing-therefore get wisdom,
and with all thy gettings, get under
standing length Of days is in her
right hand, and in her left riches an!
honor her ways are ways of pleasant
ness, and all her paths are peace
Go, my son, and learn lesson from
yonder purling streamlet that goes
dancing merri'y along through verdi
ant meadows, and down rocky glens,
until at last 1t finds its home III the
bosom of the father of waters. The
lesson it teaches, is this, that man
must 60 on, upward and onward until
he finds home in the bosom Of the
God of all wisdom and when your
mortal shall have put on immortality,
then shall you take up the thread Of
life where you left it here, and mount
up higher and higher, throughout the
ceaseless ages of eternity. Saying
this, the old man disappeared. |

lightful as it was in other respects
was at an end. She did not know
that it was not regret alone that
agitated Mrs. Blake, and caused the
nervous little woman to loose her
appetite, and spend the night in wake
full worrey. Mrs. Blake had read only
the week before of the return of Pro-
fessor Farnton from Germany, where
he had gone Immediately on their
leaving the school and the very
night after the discovery of his note
to Julia, she had written to him, not,
indeed, mentioning her, but telling
him that his old friends had not for
saken him, and ended by saying that
they were on q visit to the White
Mountains, but that they hoped, on
their return, he would find tine to
visit them. The letter had scarcely
started on its journey before she be-
gan to fear that she had been very
presumptuous. The years might not
have left him unchanged in mind and
heart as it had her. He now a great
and well known philosophical savant
for aught she knew-might have
brought German wife home with
him; ana she was tormented with a
fear lest he should come and bring
her with him.
Meanwhile the three travellers had
been visiting all the points of interest
in the White Mountains, and having
gone in at Gorham, had finally reach
ed Profile House, where after spend
ing couple of days, they now pro-
posed to start for home. At that late
season, there were but few travellers,
50 that they escaped the crowds that,
in summer, sometimes make visit tc
this beautiful locality anything but
pleasant. Awaiting herself of the
seclusion of the season and hour, Miss
Carey, the evening before they were
to leave. strolled down along to Echo
Lake. She was standing with hel
hands full of autumn leaves, and wond
erfully bright they were; her beanti
full face flushed with emotion as she
gazed at the hills around, and 50 alb
stracted that she did not see some one,
who was approaching from the direc
ton Of the hotel. Sne did not ever
hear a footstep, and she gave Il sur
prised cry,as voice she never thought
to hear again, spoke close to her eal
the one word, ".Julia.
Well, | think, after they had look

toned each others hearts, they toun(
that over love the immortal years

A Blessing for Baby.
BY MATTHIAS BARR.

Rless thee, my baby may life for thee ever
Be bright as long Summers day;
May all that is sweetest, and all that is dearest,
Like sunshine descend on thy way.
May thoughts that are holy, like angels, attend
thee,
May sorrows, like shadows, depart
May love, like blossom, unfold in its beauty,
And peace find home in thy heart.
And, oh may the years, as they speed, fall as
lightly
AS dew on thy head, baby mine;
May Time, though he wither the roses we
CHERISH
Touch never leatlet of thine.
And yet may the fulness of earthly enjoy
ment--
The sweetness, the rapture, the love
Be only as pain to the exquisite gladness
That waits thee in glory above.
