the death of Mr.. Orth induced Mr..
Pierce, Of Indiana, to hunt up these
lines;
Leaves huvc their time TO fall

Death
When the death of Representa-
tive William VI. Lowe. of Alabama,
was announced, portical quotations
were again freely scattered through
the eulogistic speeches. Mr.. Oates,
of that State, called verso to his
aid when speaking Of Mr.. loves
passage ''into tho undiscovered
country from whose bourne no
traveller returns:'
Between two world. life h5ycrs Ike q
star.
'Twixt night and morn, upon The hori.
zOn VERGE.
How little do we know hat which We are,
How lcs2 what We may be! Tn" eternal
surge
Oflimc and tide rolls on, and bears afar
orr hubbi"s; as The oillurst. nov emerge.
Llshcd from the foam or ages; while the
graves
or empires heave but like somc passing
waves"
And in closing he reminded the
House that
The rank Is but the g%uincs's stamp;
The mans the crowd for a that"
Mr.. Lapham, Of New York,
speaking in the Senate of Mr.. Lowe.
thought these lines a lit conclusion
TO his remarks.
Men die and are forgotten. The great
Goes on the same. Among the myriads
OF men chat live, Or have lived, or shall
live.
What is a single life, or thine, or miner
Wcmust make room for others"
When tie death Of Mr.. j. T Up
degratf, Representative from Ohio,
was announced in the House last
Tuesday, Mr.. Joseph D. Taylor,
OF that State, saying that ''the
grave covers every defect. extin-
cuisines every resentment added
this further quotation;
IF we err, III human blindness,
And forget that We are dust,
II we mis-, the law Of kindness
When we struggle to be Just.
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the pain that hides away.
We shall know each other better
When The mists have cleared away"
A little further on he had these
lines ready:
For who to dumb forgetfulness a prey
This pleasing, anxious being Ger re-
signed
Left the warm precincts of the cheerful
day.
Nor cast one longing, lingering look be-
hindu
And he ended up by singing:
"The sun is but a spark of fire.
A transient meteor in the sky
The soul, immortal as its sire,
SHALL never die
Mr.. Anterior of Ohio was re-
minded by the death Of Mr.. Upde-
graf that
God moves III mysterious way
His wonders to perform"
In conclusion he said, piously
and impressiyely: LET us hope
as well as we may"
THAT when thesIn, in all his state,
lliumcd the Eastern skies.
H. passed through glory morning gate,
And walked in paradise
Mr.. Willis of Kentucky thought
the House should bear in mind
the solemn admonition Of the lines:
Yea, the shores Of life are shifting
Every year. 81
And "" arc seward drifting
Every year.
Old places, changing, fret us,
The living more forget us
Every year.
Bat the trucr .ifc draws higher
Every year.
And its morning star climbs higher
Every year.
Earlh's hold on Us grows slightcr,
And the heavy burden lighter.
And the dawn Immortal brighter,
Every year.
Mr.. skinner Of New York in
dulged in six poet.cal quotations,
beginning with;
"Dea,h rides in the passing breeze
And turks in every flower
"And yet," lac aided,
"To live in hearts We leave behind
l. not to die
