THE LAST WISH.

eff I could arrange for my own
DEATH" said Vice President Will
son to one of his attendants few
DAYS before his death, Il would
die quietly in my own home, and
have the privilege of saying good
by to my friends, and be laid
quietly away. But I have a pre-
monition that 1 shall die suddenly;
be snuffed out like a candle, with
out an opportunity to say good-by
to any one."
This is the common wish of nearly
all men who associate death with
an eternal farewell OF all that is
earthly; who start from the death
bed upoA another journey in I'M
known regions, where the friends
and loved ones of tais sphere can
whisper no words of cheer or en-
couragement, and yet where is the
Gdipus to solve this enigma of life ?
Is that journey through the very
heavens that one daily surveys,
being Of ETHEREAL existence, with at
tributes of divinity, an associate of
angels or-dust? But to this man
of generous heart and noble soul,
such taking-off appears to us to be
in accordance with the eternal fit
ness of things. After life's fitful
fever"-after q life's labor in the
vineyard, for the elevation and free
dom Of a down-trodden race; after
a long and weary struggle in behalf
of his country, ever battling in the
first ranks for her welfare, how
could he better end this siege and
battle than to follow the pro-
phetic whisperings of his soul, and |
pass quietly, silently away to the
unexplored realms ? IT'S better
than to view the sorrow of dear
ones, TO feel the hot tears of grief
upon the dampening brow, for then
it would seem that the pilgrimage
was but half completed. and the
bright promises of the other land ,
be Swallowed by the love that's lost !,

FEAR AND LOVE OF. PUBLICITY

There are two great evils which
inevitably arise from the present
state of things. There is the fear OF
publicity, and there is the love of
publicity. AS regards the former,
how many timid and shame-faced
persons fear to take the right course
which would lead to just results,
because of the aversion which they
have to this demon of publicity.
On the other hand, a still greater
danger turks in the love of publicity
which comes to be a besetting sin;
sometimes, even of the greatest
minds, and which leads to talseness,
restlessness and to a dangerous de-
sire always to stand well with that
public which is sure, very soon, to
be made acquainted with all that the
lover of publicity may say, speak
or intend. Publicity Is also great
absorber of that time which might
be much better spent. The desire
for knowing everything about every
body-what he or she thinks, or
does on any trivial occasion-occu-
pies now large portion of the time
of the civilized world, and must be
very great hindrance to steady
thought about a mans own con-
Germs, and about those subjects
which might most deeply interest
mankind. A stupid kind of gossip
becomes the most pleasant and the
most absorbing topic tor the gener-
ality of men. We do not agree with
those who assert that the 'folly Of
mankind is constant quantity"
but we do admit that fulsome pub
licity is fast going to prove that the
VISIONS of mankind is not very
constant. Ifpublicity could be per-
feet, there would be less to be said
in its disparagement. If everyone
wore his heart upon his sleeve we
should at least get rid of all false
ness, and the world would know
with whom and with what it was
dealing. But studied publicity is
very dangerous. When all people
know that what they may say or do,
is finally to be make public, they
will dress up their sayings or doings
to meet this appalling publicity, and
that which they deem will not be
pleasing to the public, though it
may be the thing, of all others,
which the public ought to hear, they
will carefully suppress.
