OUR DEAD.
bALLAs, Oct, 1.-THE dear, loved forms
mat we have lain away with aching heart
anu burning tears, are then our only dead.
Is there one human heart whose lite has

no. These dear departed ones are not our
only dead, for deep in dark and silent
tombs, where eye otn-n has never reach.

bed, bear these, our dead, away. No toll.
ing bell Is heard, nor long procession in is
mourntul march proclaims they are no
no more. But far remote from human
eyes, in dark and silent rooms, they
breathe Their lives away. No stranger hands
enshroud their forms nor lay them in
their grave. But with our own so weak
and cold with thrObbing aching heart, we
cut these dead away. No loving hand, per.
haps, nor one kind, tender heart knows
what was done that day or that there was a
death. And so the world moves on a,
though this had not been.
How bright that fever dream Of love
How sweet the tender loving tie that hel,

Your happy day-dreams, where are they
The rosy.tinted visions, how sweet
they danced before your eyes, Upon the al

years, You lit the flame, perhaps, ah, did
your fingers falter? and did you try I,
quench the flame with useless, weary tears
Or did you else with lips all white ant

firm and measured steps Ia

Your dreams OF fame and pride and power
