BY THE LATE HENRY wADsWoRTH LoNeFELLo"

And MORNINGS for the deaQ

Amid these earthly damps,
What seem to us but sad, funeral JapefS

There is no Death, What seems so is transi-

Day after day we think what she is doing
In those bright realms of air;
Year after year, her tender steps pursuing,
Behold her grown more fair.
Thus do we walk with her, and keep un-
broken
The bond which nature gives,
Thinking that our remembrance, though un-
spoken,
MAY reach her where she lives.
Not as a child shall we again behold her;
For when with Taptures wild
In our embraces we again entOld her,
She will not be Il child;
But a fair maiden, in her Fathers mansion,
Clothed with celestial grace;
And beautiful with all the souls expansion
Shall we behold her face.
And though at times impetuous with emo

And anguish long suppressed,
The swelling heart heaves moaning like the
ocean,
That cannot be at rest
We will be patient and assuage the feeling
We NAV not wholly stay;
By silence sanctitying, not conceanng,
The grief that must have way.

Thank God something in my condition
or some movement, I don't know what
it was, caused my sister to scream, and
I was saved. The scissors dropped to
the floor with a loud noise, the woman
jumped back nearly scared to death,
and 1 sat up. You should have seen
that house little while after that. I
thought everybody had gone crazy.

whole neighborhood came rushing in as
soon as they heard of it, and for several
days there was nothing talked about
but me. My folks thought 1 didn't
know what had been going on. Little
they thought that every word spoken
in that room was heard and understood
by me. They tried to keep everybody
from referring to the fact that my
shroud was bought, the coffin ordered,
and the funeral arranged. They made
an excuse, too, for part of my hair be-
ing cut off. They told me the reason
of it was that a plaster had been put on
the back of my neck, and my hair got
so tangled in it that it had to be cut
away. Ididn't say anything. One day
my little brother said to me, Venie,
you was goin' to be buried last Thurs
day, and they cut your hair off, He
never imagined that I knew more about
that than he did. The recollection of
those terrible days and nights will
never leave me. l pray to God that 1

it again. 1 would rather die. "-Cin-

1t is asserted that the nutritiousness
of apples has never been properly appre-
ciated, and that they are far more
nourishing than potatoes. Cornish
workmen say that they can work better
on baked apples than on potatoes.
There is dish in Cornwall called squab
pie, made of mutton, with slices of po-
tato, apple, and onion, and, strange as
