WELCOMING DEATH.

WELCOMING DEATH.
BIZ aALUs.
Come, welcome Death, thou king,
O, King of Terrors," come;
By grace thou now has lost thy sting
Through Gods atoning Son.
Though long thou st been my foe,
And made me start and fear
Down in thy charnels deep to go
Where there's no voice to hear,
Yet dread I not the tomb,
Since Jesus hath lain there;
He's left long and sweet perfume
He'll keep my dust with care.
And when the trump is blown
By the archangel loud,
shall come forth as Christ I've known
To meet him in the cloud.
A holy song I'll raise
As Jesus bids me come,
In hallelujahs sing Gods praise
For what His grace hath doue.
BRAMBLE.
The corn is reaped, the bare brown land
Is sleeping in the sunshine bland
Of late September time;
Now after harvest toll and mirth
In restful ceimneSs lies the earth,
Like good lives past their prime.
That rustic in the freshening breeze
And wave their branches strong:
From hillside meadows loud and clear
Comes, clarion-like, note of cheer
The thrush's thrilling song.
The busy wild bee f1itteth by
Where honeysuckle waves oh high
And late clemat1s grows;
A fair brown butterfly floats round
A bramble branch that on the ground
Its dainty tangle throws.
The lowly bramble, taking root
In common hedgerows, bearing fruit
For common hands to pull;
A boon to travellers on the road.
1t shows its gracious purple load,
With blossoms beautiful.
White flowers, like psarly-tinted snow,
Fair foliage red with autumn's glow,
Ripe ruit-on one fair spray;
All mel my heart. what beauty lives
In lowliest things that nature gives
10 blossom on our way.
Ali me! my heart, what beauty shsws
In lowly lives that to their close
Bloom sweetly out of slght;,.
Meek hearts that seek not worldly praise,
That find in Hfe's secluded ways
Dear love ard deep delight.
Fair lives that have humble root.
Sweet lives that bear a gracious fruit,
Yet keep their springtlme flowers
Upon the bough where fruit hangs ripe,
And where the fading leaf Is type
Of life's decaying hours.
We meet them in our daily path,
These humble souls, and each one hath
A beauty of its own.
A beauty born of duty done,
OF silent victories du1nbly won.
OF sorrow borne alone.
And when the frosts of death fall chill
On these fair lives that blossom still
Though summer time is past.
We, signing, wish for quiet ways.
Wherein. like theirs, our shortening days
Might blossom to the last!
All the Year Round,
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1882-09-23
According to John Rogers, T. r. NJ. S

According to John Rogers, T. R. NJ. S.,
it is claimed that modern microscopes
are made to magnify as much as $4,000
diameters, Will. some regard 100000 di
ameters as possible. Such excessive am
pliGcation, however, gives too imperfect
results, and is attended by too many diff
ficulties to be of any permanent value.
The greatest living microscopists are of
the opinion that power of 5000 or 1000
diameters represents the highest useful
limit of microscopic vision.
