The Dead.

How seldom do we think of the
dead Although we sit around the
same hearth where they once set, and
read the same volumes they so loved
to peruse, yet we do not think of them.
Oh how the heart throbs with wild and
uncomfortable emotion as we stand be-
side the dying friend we dearly love |!
We wildly strive, but all in vain, to
prolong the precious life we follow in
deepest anguish down the dark flowing
river; the spirit of the loved one passes
onward alone, and we are left to linger
on the shores of time. We think, as
we behold the inanimate form consign-
ed to the cold damp grave, and hear
the damp earth rattle over it, that we
will never forget the life scenes of the
departed-that their memory will al
ways remain fresh in our hearts, and
almost wonder that the busy multitude
can move so briskly around. But the
sun shines as brightly as ever on new
made grave. Nature looks as gay and
smiling, and the birds sing as merrily
as before.
Again we mingle with the busy,
jostling throng. Weeks and months
roll on-we visit the grave less fre-
quently, and gradually cease to think
of the lost ones, save when some voice
or incident of bygone days recalls them
to our memory. The feelings of bitter
anguish and bereavement are soon
worn off by the accumulating cares
and pleasures Of life. Thus we, in
turn, must, ere long, pass away and be
forgotten. Such is human life.
Middletown transcript., 1877-07-28
Human Lie.

We are on a journey through a
strange country, and, stopping here
and there only for a night, we should
deem our accommodations of small i'm
portance; we should not think of fit
ting up in costly manner house in
which we should remain but few
hours. Human life is a journey through
a strange land. Our home is beyond
it, far away. Each object we behold
is monitor, pointing us downward to
the grave in which our ashes shall
soon repose. Is it not in vain, then,
for us to give our whole attention. to
wealth and fame? We cannot carry
them with us into the grave. The
rich and poor are alike in the coffin,
and all the fame of earth will make
no difference in the world to which we
are Fastening. 1 have read of man
who was rich on earth. He Jared
sumptuously every day; he was cloth
ed in purple. and fine linen he rode
in his chariot and reveled in wealth
and splendor but death, the common
enemy, visited his splendid abode, and
hurried him away He took no goods,
no silver with him. His chariot he
left behind. His magnifcence, pomp
and distinction, were all of the earth.
In that other world, he was miserably
poor. He had no. home On the
waves of an angry sea, his soul was
tempest driven. He had no pillow
but the wave of fire, and in vain he
prayed for a cup of. water to cool his
parched tongue.
have heard of another man, who
sat at that same rich mans gate, full
of sores, and covered with wounds.
He was poor, very poor, but in time
he died. Angels caught his spirit and
carried it to world of bliss. All was
changed. In an hour he had become
wealthy, honored, and supremely blest.

BLEsslSos OF Tu-DAY

If we knew the woe and heartache
Waiting for US down the road,
flour lips could taste the wormwood,
If our backs could feel the load
Would we waste the day in wishing
For a time that ne'er can be;
Would we wait in such impotence
For our ships to come from sea
five knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow,
Never trouble us again;
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our brow2
Would the prints ofrosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now?
All, those little ice-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words and actions
Strewn along our dusty track
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our reaping by and by
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet voiced bird has flown,
Strange that we should slight the violets
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one-half so fair
AS when winter snowy pinions
Shake the white down in the air.
Lips from which the seal Of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never bIossomed in such beauty
As adorned the mouth to-day;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us in sweeter accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all along our path
Let US keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaff;
Let US find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day;
With patient hand removing
An the briers from our way.
