Death.

The sweet sympathy OF friends is to

Who dies +? Not alone the person
who has departed. II deaths means
change, then life is so much chan red
to the mourners who are left behind
that they may be said to have died
in part for that which constitutes
a great part, of this life has been taken
away No more is life to us the
same. 1t is completely changed
Both in our Joy asd in our sorroy it
is unlike what il was before. The
day has lost half its brightness.
when We feel that the eyes which
have looked with our own so many
years yill not open to its beauty,
and when, in q great grief, We feel
that the heart which has shared in
our previous SORROWS beats no more:
we start bewildered, as if waking.
from dream, aud feel that We are
strangers asd pilgrims ou earth.
Our home seems no longer to us the
homo that it was before. Not aloue
they who die but those who are
left behind have in part tested

Major Andre.

A monument is to be erected to the
memory OF Major Andre, on the spot
where he was hanged and buried, at
Tappan, Rockland county. The dean
OF Westminster wrote an inscription
for the monument during his recent
visit. Cyrus W. Field is to bear the
expense and Mr.. Barton. the owner
Of the land, has donated twenty feet
square and right Of way. Major
Andre was buried here in 1850, but
the body was removed in 1921 and
buried in Westminster Abbey. Six
persons now living Witnessed the
disintermsut. A hundred years ago
this Christmas the genial Andre was
enjoying himself at balls and private
theatricals In New York. The pro-
posed monument will no doubt lead
many to refresh their memories as to
the details OF the eventful night
which brought him to the gallows as
a spy; General Washington refusing
his earnest prayer that he might be
shot like q soldier, and a brave one as
he was. The episode Of his capture
is perhaps chiefly remarkable as an
instance Of the loss OF presence of
mind. He had Benedict Arnold's
pass and yet when Paulding and the
others stopped him, and asked him
on which aide he t'as, he foolishly
answered that he was On the kings
side-a tory. Now had he, ignorant
as he was OF the party to which
Paulding and his fellow-rustics be-
longed. answered that he was on the
revolutionary side be would have
been safe IL his captors had proved
to be Royalists, while Arnold's pass
would have secured him from the
search which led to the finding oi
the traitors dispatches in his boots.
But his answer aroused suspicion
being the contradictory OF the ore-
dentials he showed 1t is pleasant
to find an American doing justice Il
his memory. for OF course, from his
standpoint, the Americans were no
belligerents. but rebels. Perhaps M
figure stands out in pleasanter re
