THERE is NO DEATH.

THERE is NO DEATH.
There rs no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some faircr shore;
And bril- gllt in Heavens jcwclcd crown
They shine for cvermorc.
There is no death. The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer showers
To golden grain to mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize .
To feed the hungry moss they bear,
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away;
they only wait, through wintry hours,
The coming Of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks oer the earth with silent tread:
He bears our best loved things away,
And :hen VIC call them dead"
He leaves our hearts. all dcssolate.
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers
Trans planted into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes Of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the trees of life.
And where he sees a smile TOO bright,
Or heart too pure FOR taint and vice,
fle bears il TO that world of life,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us TO come again:
With Joy we welcome them the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen.
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For altthe boundless universe
Is Ife-there are no dead.

of the illustrious Kiosk iusko, in quiet
possession of the island, which he had
cecapiei ssiuce 1919. How he came,
whether placed in exile, forced or vol
untary, is unknown. The Frenchman,
busy, energetic man Of the world,
turned his discovery to some account,
and seeing the capabilities Of the Island
made fOr Port Louis. Maurtius, freighted
his Schooner with seeds, tools, poultry
and stores and returned to St. Pauls

the sole possessor Of the island. Setting
vigorously to work with two colorcd and
a white man whom he had brought with
him, they commenced the process OF civ

planting the seed. Th.y brii: also two
small wooasr houses and shed for their
stores, constructed a landing place and
made evory preparation within their
power for establishing a quiet, snug
fishing harbor. Seeing things thus in
progress, the Frcnchman, loading ii;

THE REPUBLICAN,
Weaving the Web.

This morn win weave my web," she said,
AS she stood by her loom in the rosy light,
Ana ner young eyes, hopefully glad and clear,
Followed afar the swallows fight.
" As soon as the days first tasks are done,
While yet am fresh and strong" said she,

Whose pattern Is known to none but me.
4 win weave ii fine, will weave IL fair,
And an how the colors viii glow !" she said,
50 fadeless. and strong will weave my web
mat perhaps it viii live after am dead
But the morning hours sped on apace;
The air grew sweet with the breath OF June;
And young Love hid by the waiting loom,
Tangled the threads as he hummed atune.
"Ahl life is 30 rich and fnll," she cried,
" And morn is short though the days are long
This noon will weave my beautiful web,
viii weave ii carefully, fine and strong"
But the sun rode high in the cloudless sky;
The burden and heat of the day she bore;
And hither and thither she came and went,
While the loom stood still as it stood before.
"Ahi life is too busy at noon." she said;
My web must wait till eventide,
Till the common work of the day is done,
And my heart grows calm in the silence wide!
So, one by one, the hours passed on,
Till the creeping shadows had longer grown;
TIL the house was still, and the breezes slept,
And her singing birds to their nests lad flown.
"And no~ win weave my web;" she said,
As she turned to her loom ere set of sun,
And laid her hands on the shining threads
To set them in order, one by one.
But hand was tired and heart was weak;
:" am not as strong as I was" sighed she.
"And the pattern is blurred, and the colors rare
Are not so bright, or 50 fair to see!
al must wait, think, till another morn;
must 60 to my rest with my work undone;
1t is growing too dark to weave !" she cried,
As lower and lower sank the sun.
She dropped the shuttle; the loom stood still
The weaver slept in the twilight gray.
Dear heart. Will she weave her beautiful web
In the golden light of longer day?

A Little Loaf.

Once, when there was a famine
throughout the land, a rich man sent
for the twenty poorest children in the
town to come to his house, and said
to them: an the basket there is a
little loaf for each Of you. Take it,
and come back to me every day at
the same hour till the good God sends
US better times"
Eagerly did the hungry children
fall upon the basket, and quarreled
and struggled for the bread, because
each wished to have the best and
largest; at last they went away with
out having even thanked the old gen.
tleman. But Gretchen, a poorly. but
neatly dressed little maiden, remained
standing modestly in the distance
then she took the smallest loaf which
alone was left in the basket, CRATE
fully kissed the rich gentleman's
hand, and went quickly home.
Next day the children were just as
ILL behaved, and the poor, timid
Gretchen received this time Loaf
which was scarcely bali the size oil
the others. But when she came
home and her sick mother cut the
loaf open, many new silver pieces Of
money fell rafting and shining out Of
1t.
The mother was not little alarmed
and said: "Take the money at once
back to the good gentleman, for Il
certainly got into the dough by acct
dent. Be quick, Gretchen be quick !
But when the little girl came to the
rich man and gave him her mothers
message. he said, kindly: mo, no
my child, it was no mistake. haC
the silver put into the smallest loa
to reward you. Remain always al
contented, peaceable, self-denyint
and grateful. She who would rathe
take the smallest loaf than quarre
for the larger ones. will obtain IA
richer blessings than even IL none.

Gems OF Thought.

Heaven gave women tongues to ask
questions with. and eyes to give an
swers with.
A woman's friendship is, as a rule,
the legacy of love or the aims OF in
difference.
Great things are not accomplished
by idle dreams, but by years OF pa
tent study.
Kind words are better than gold,
and the voice OF friend has saved
many a man from ruin.
Be happy II you can, but do not de-
spise those who are otherwise. for
you know not their troubles.
Some Of the Rrandest things which
have been achieved were by those
whom we thought our interiors.
Narrow not your mind to your own
selfshness. but give 1t broad field
for your fellow men to work in.
Victor Hugo says that there are
moments in life when, no matter what
Is the attitude of the body, the soul
Is on its knees.
Health is the riches that man
ought to set a value on; for without
1t all men are poor, let their estates
be what they will.
The chief art OF attaining is to
learn but little at time. The widest
excursions of the mind are made by
short flights. frequently repeated.
Duty, though set about by thorns,
may he made staff. supporting even
while 1t fortunes. Cast it away, and,
like the prophets wand, 1t changes to
snake.
Greatness stands upon precipice,
and If prosperity. unbalanced by NOR
al suasion, carries a man ever so lit
tie beyond his poise. it overbears and
dashes him to pieces.
In all the professions and occupa-
tons over which intellect holds do
minion, the student will find here Is
no grace OF character without its cor
responding grace Of mind.
A man who can give up dreaming
and go to his daily realities; who can
smother down his heart, its love OF
woe, and take to the hard work of bis
hand; who defies fate; end, IL he
must die, dies fighting to the last
that man is LIES best hero.
Truth will never die; the stars will
grow dim, the sun will pale his glory
but truth will be ever young. Integ-
rity. uprightness, honesty. love, good
ness, these are all imperishable. NJ
grave can ever entomb these immor.
tai principles. They have been II
prison, but they have been freer thar
before; those who enshrined them IL
their hearts have been burned at tn,
stake, but out OF their ashes their wit
nesses have arisen. No sea cal
drown. no storm can wreck, no abyss
can swallow up the everlasting truth
You cannot kill goodness and integ
rity and righteousness; the way tina
is consistent with these must be {

A teaspoonful Of turpentine boiled

For washing finger marks from

A family which raises and sells
more than they buy is growing richer.
But how can this be known unless a
strict account is kept?
An exchange states that il a shirt

discolored spot entirely out.

The one reimburses the amount ex-

One of the most beautiful of Ma
lures provisions Is that while one
crop exhausts the soil OF that element
which enters most largely into its
composition, by the operation Of some
mysterious law it prepares that same
soil for some other crop OF a different

One teaspoonful of chloride of lime
in about three quarts Of water will
take any kind OF stain out of white
goods; put the part with the stain on

prepared in this way; only spots on
white goods can be taken out thus.
The best remedy for bleeding at
the nose, as given by DR.. Gleason in
one OF his lectures, is the vigorous
motion OF the jaws, as IL in the act OF
mastication. In the case of child a
wad Of paper should be placed In its
mouth, and the child instructed to
chew it hard. 1t is the motion of the
jaws that stops the flow OF blood.
This remedy is so very simple that
many will feel inclined to laugh at
it, but it has never been known to
fail in single instance, even in very
severe cases.
Harvesting aud haying being done,
in what condition have you left your
machinery? Is your mower standing
In the fence corner, exposed to the
Gun and rain, or have you taken 1t to
pieces, scraped the accumulation OF
oil. dirt and grass ssed of. and stood
1t in a dry place? What about the
reaping- machine? Can it be seen
standing in the middle OF the last
field cut, almost hidden by growth
OF weeds? II 1t is there, economy,
and the desire to set good example
for your neighbors, should induce
you to house 1t at once. One OF the
