Is DEATH DREADFUL.


At funeral of little child Of a friend
of Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, in Wash
ington, the other day, the latter delivered
the following eloquent Grafton:
"MY FRIENDS: know how vain it is
to gid grief with words, and yet wish
to take from every grave its fear. Here
in this world, where life and death are
equal kings, all should be brave enough
to meet what all the dead have met The
future has been filled with fear, stained
and polluted by the heartless past. From
the wondrous tree of life the buds and
blossoms fall with ripened fruit and in the
common bed of earth the patriarchs and
babes sleep side by side.
"Why should we fear that which will
come to all that is We cannot tell, we
do not know, which is the greater bless
mg-life or death. We cannot say that
death is not good. We do not know
whether the grave is the end of this life
or the door of another, or whether the
night here is not somewhere else dawn.
Neither can we tell which is the more
fortunate-the child dying in its mothers
arms before its lips have learned to form
word, or he who journeys all the length
Of life's uneven road, painfully taking the
last slow steps with staff and crutch.
every cradle asks us Whence ? and
every coffin 'Whither?' The poor barbar-
ian, weeping above his dead, can answer
these questions as intelligently and Salts
factorily as the robed priest of the most
authentic creed. The fearful ignorance
of the one is just as consoling as the
learned an unmeaning words of the other.
No man, standing where the horizon of a
life has touched grave, has any right to
prophecy future filled with pain and
tears. 1t may be that death gives all
there is of worth to life. If those we
press and strain against our hearts could
never die, perhaps that love would wither
from the earth. Maybe this common fate
treads from out the paths between our
hearts the weeds of selfishness and hate,
and l had rather live and love where
death is king, than have eternal life where
love is not. Another life is naught, unless
we know and love again the ones who
love us here. t-.l-
"They who stand with breaking hearts
around this little grave need have no fear.
The larger and nobler faith in all that is
to be tells us that death, even at its
worst, is only perfect rest We know
that through the common wants of life :
the needs and duties of each hour-their
grief will lessen day by day, until at last
this grave will be to them place of rest
and peace-almost of Joy. There is for
them this consolation. The dead do not
suffer. If they live again. their lives will
surely be as good as ours. We have nc
fear. We are all children of the same
mother, and the same fate awaits us all.
We, too, have our religion, and it is this
Help for the living-Hope for the dead.
At the conclusion of Colonel Ingersoll'.
remarks, the little coffin, covered with
beautiful and fragrant flowers, was low

Periodically the question of the reduc.
ton of wages on the Comstock comes up
for discussion, the plea being each time
that the wages of common miners must
be reduced in order to make the mines
pay. In looking over the reports Of CON-
panies, it usually strikes US that such
items as legal expenses, sundries, salaries,
etc.. go to swell the expenses more than
should. If expenses are to be reduced
and they should be-the top-heavy sys.
tenn of mining too much in vogue will be
best remedied by taking off the weight
from above. A trimming of salaries and
rigid inspection of general expenses will
serve a better purpose than cutting down
the wages of the men who do the rea1
work. Underground miners get none too
much pay for the dangerous and labori
Gus work they do.-[S. F. Mining anc

A young lady was once terribly shocked
by her own foolish mistake. Being sent
to the store in hurry for some -four, she
took what she supposed to be clean
FELLOWSHIP from the bureau drawer.
When she bounded into the store, smiling
like basket Of chips, she handed the
thing to be filled with -four. The store
keeper didn't notice what he had hold Of
until scoop full of -four had gone
through them, when he raised them up
discovered two outlets at the bottom,
nicely fringed. The young lady quickly
cit out" without saying word, and the
storekeeper, covered with -four, laid the
garment in the money drawer to wait her
return, which has not "eventuated" up
to the present time. iarGuas

THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN.-The oratorio Of
esther the Beautiful Queen" concerning
which our readers have already heard,
comes of tonight at Mozart Hall. The re-
hcarsals give promise Of most enjoyable
evening. The story Of the fair Esther has
always appealed warmly to human sympa-
thy, and the terrible doom that threatened
her people, the naughty IIaman with his
bloody purpose, the sudden transition OF
Mordecai from contempt to royal honOrs,
the intercession Of the Queen, and the sal
yation OF her people, are all brought out in
strains OF thrilling music. About sixty
five persons take part, and the costumes are
superb. Such a musical treat is not often
afforded the public.
