LIFE AND DEATH.

Life and death--ahl who can tell
Whence we come, and whittier we go?
Into the world with sudden cry,
Out of the world with meanings low.
Who can tell what his fate will be?
Ever the seeming sport of chance
To-day i'm the flush of pride aud hope
But changes must come as the years adj
vance.
man may rise at the dawn of day,
And YEARLY work till the sun goes down.
What does it matter,-'tis all the same,
II il be for wealth or a Just renOwn.
Fire, or flood, or merciless men
In a night NAV leave him naked and cold,
Or a burden TO bear, when one grows old.
Life is a riddle hard to read
Finding no answer we think of God.
And the wheels of the universe
Faithfully follow His guiding rod.
II IT be true that He cares for US,
Ca 'es for the creatures He has made.
What have we, hut TO cleave TO HIN?
Nothing should make our hearts afraid.
Earthly passions perforce grow cold,
AS the hairs grow white, and the eyes grow
dim.
Cleave to and love Him with heart and soul
What's TO love, If we love not Him?
