THE Children Laughed ana sang"

THE Children Laughed and Sang"
1t was in the chill December
That the Angel Of Death came by,
And he rustled his wings Of darkness
As he swept through the Wintry sky
household Of happy creatures
Dwelt quiet and free from care,
And the Angel stole in softly,
And stood all silent there.
(But the children laughed aud sang at their play;
Never fear nor pang had they.)
And the Angel swiftly, in silence,
Struck home the mortal blow,
And in the wintry morning
He laid the father low:
And wildly the sorrowfui mother,
Bewildered and stunned with woe,
Walled In her lone bereavement,
And wished that che, too, might goi
(But the children laughed and sang at their play;
Never fear nor pang had they).
Cold in the lonely chamber
Lay the fathers form at rest,
And they laid the delicate nower-wreaks
Upon his quiet breast;
And forth from bis home they bore him,
Aud hid him from sound and sight,
And they heaped the cold earth above him,
while the childrens feet trod light.
(But the boys went home to their happy play;
Never fear nor pang had they.)
And often the childish footsteps
Are turned 10 their fathers grave,
Where the grass, with its glistentng hoar-frost,
Lies ever that heart SO brave;
Aud sometimes they watch their mother
Bending in sorrow and pain,
Aud they say 10 their childish voices:
"Will papa never come again 2"
(But soon they laugh and sing at their play;
Never a fear nor pang have they.)
So God 10 His infinite pity
Shuts the eyes Of the children dear,
Ana they sec not the fell Destroyer,
Though their eyes are 40 bright aud clear.
And said; There's no Past for the children,
with its terrible pangs and stings;
And for them no broodng Future
Spreadeth its threatening wings.
All they see is the present-To-day;
And 50 they laugh and sing at their play"

by evil-minded persons who would suppose
the deceased had no friends. Consequently
some Of the Christians had adopted the plan
of putting fresh white paper upon the graves
every year rs a mark OF protection. When
we look upon all these foolish ceremonies
they seem like children's play, but when we
remember that the Chinese consider them of
great Importance and believe that their own
future welfare and happiness are affected
thereby, we see how burdensome these vain
rites must become. mans family may be
suffering for food and clothing, but he dares
not omit the customary sacrifice to his dead
ancestors, however expensive il may be.

A VERMONT CENTENARIAN.-At Dorset re-
sides a very remarkable centenarian, named
Isaac Farewell, who has just entered upon
his l03d year. Since manhood he has taken
part in the politics of the day under every
President, up to the last term of Grant. He
was in the Canada war of 1882 and fought
with the Americans at Queenstown Heights,
Lundys Lane and in an innumerable num-
Der of minor skirmishes during the memora-
BILE epoch in Canadian and American history.
At the close of the war he resumed his occu-
patton of farmer, near Dorset and has
since acquired considerable means. He is q
marvel of activity, walking daily from his
farm 10 the town, over a mile, and doing the
family marketing. His memory was as acute
on New Years day as 40 years ago. He was
always temperate person. He was twice
married, and has had seven children, two of
whom, son and daughter, are living. The
son was IS years old last birthday, and the
daughter 20. The old man two years since
learned the trade of making wicker baskets,
as a means of passing the time, and it was re-
marked that SO old boy to begin trade
was seldom heard of. To all appearances, he
may live many years yet.
