on reflection, themost thoughtless boy

have uttered greater truth.

shows great improvement.
The class of '76, B. III. S., receive their
friends at Lemont Hall Friday, July I'd.
Mr. King and the New England agent for
the King Bridge Co., were in town making ar
rangements to take down the iron bridge put
up by them short time ago and put up anoth-
er one in its place.
Now that the mall has been so beautifully
decorated something ought to be done about
doing away with the telegraph poles that stand
near the mall, also the hay scales that are at
the lower end of the mall. Both of these
things great cyesera and nuisance to the
people.

"she is deadl" they said to him; "come away;
Kiss her and leave her-thy love is clayi'
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair;
On her forehead of stone they laid it fair;
Over her eyes, that gazed too much,
They drew the lids with gentle touch;
With tender touch they closed up well
The sweet thin lips that had secrets to tell;
About her brows and beautiful face
They tied her veil and her marriage lace,
And drew on her white feet her white silk shoes
Which were the whitest no eye could choose
And over her BOSOM they crossed her hands.
''Come awayf" they said; "God underestimate
And there was silence, and nothing there
But silence, and scents of eglantere,
And jasmine, and roses, and rosemary;
And they said, "As a lady should lie lies she."
And they held their breath till they left the room
With shudder, to glance at Us stiffness and gloom.
But he who loved her too we'll to dread
The sweet, the stately, the beautiful dead,
He lit his lamp and took tine key
And turned it-alone again-he and she.
He and she; but she would not speak,
Though he kissed, in the old place, the quiet cheek.
He and she; yet she would not smile,
Though he called her the name she loved erewhile.
He and she; still she did not move
To any one passionate whisper OF love.
Then he said, ''Cold lips and breasts without
breath,
Is there no voice, no language of death?
Dumb to the ear and still to the sense,
But to heart and to soul distinct, intense?
See now; will listen with soul, not ear;
What was the secret OF dying, dear?
Was it the infinite wonder of all
That you ever could let life's flower fall?
Or was it greater marvel to feel
The perfect calm DER the agony steal?
Was the miracle greater to find how deep
Beyond all dreams sank downward that sleep?
Did life roll back its records dear,
And show, as they say it does, past things clear?
And was 1t the innermost heart of the bliss
To find out 80, what wisdom love is?
Operfect dead! O dead most dear,
hold the breath OF my soul to hear!
listen as deep as to horrible hell,
As high as TO heaven, and you do not tell.
There must be pleasure in dying, sweet,
To make you so placid from head to feet!
would tell you darling, if were dead,
And 'twere your hot tears upon my brow she'd
would say, though the Angel of Death had laid
His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid.
You should not ask vainly, with streaming eyes,
Which Of all deaths was the chiefest SURPRISE
The very strangest and suddenest thing
Ofall the surprises that dying must bring
All, foolish world; o most kind dead!
Though he told me, who will believe it was said?
Who will believe that he heard her say,
With the sweet, soft voice, in the dear old way
"The utmost wonder is this hear
And see you, and love you, and kiss you, dear;
And am your angel, who was your BRIDE
And know that, though dead, have l never died.
