Death,

Take the sunny side of death. Sooner
or later it must come to all, and at the
latest it is only a few swiftly passing
days distant. Kings and pOtentatss
have NO refuge from the summons of
the dread messenger. Death is the
great leveler of man, and dust to dust
the heritage of all. Why, then, should
we shrink from its plation
Why Danish it from our thoughts with
a shudder? II is not rational to permit
death TO shadow our lives; nor is it
rational TO turn in terror from what
must as surely come as Tomorrow 3
sun. Those who are suddenly day after
day by the thought OF death either
shadow their lives by misdeeds, or re-
ject the philosophy that should make
every well-Ordered life wait serenely
for its end. The rational apprehension
of the upright man is not that he may
linger too long and Outliye everything
but hope.

The horrible murder of Lord
Cavendish and Mr.. Burke in Dub
lin may give the Irish cause a Sc
we're set back. 1t is especially un-
fortunate at this time, for it gives
color to the assertions of the enc
mics of Ireland that the Irish PEG
pie are incapable of self-govern-
ment, and that whatever may be
the fairness and ability of the lead
ers of the Land League, the masses
of the people do not entertain these
qualities. The promptness with
which Parnell, Dillon and Davitt
have denounced this crime and the
earnestness with which they demand
the punishment of its perpetrators
will satisfy any fair minded person
that they deplore the murder of
Cavendish and Burke as sincerely
as did the south regret the assassi-
nation of Mr.. Lincoln at the close
of the war. 1t is not possible to
surmise what will be the course of
the British government regarding
Ireland. If it shall close the door
which was so lately opened upon a
happy future for the island, the
threshold of which has been stained
with the blood of those who bore the
olive branch of peace, the condition
of the people will be far worse than
if it had never been opened and pol
uted. At this time there does not
seem to be any more political signifi-
canoe to the murder than there
was to the killing of President Gar
field or the attempted assassination
Of the queen herself. although in

one implicated, while in the former
