following is beautiful sentiment,
and one Of the most brilliant para
graphs ever written by the lamented
George D. Prentice.
'The fat Of death is inexorable.
There is no appeal for relief from that
great law which dooms US to dust.
We flourish and fade as the leaves Of
the forest and the flowers that bloom.
wither and fade in day, have no
Trailer hold upon life than the might
lest monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps Generations
OF men will appear and disappear as
the grass, and the multitude that
athrang tina would to-day will disap-
pear as footsteps on the shore. Men
seldom think of The great event of
death until the shadow falls across
their own pathway, hiding from their
eyes the faces of loved ones whose
living smile was the sunlight of their
existence. Death Is the antagonist of
lille, and the thought of the tomb is
the skeleton OF all teasts. We do not
want to go through the dark valley,
although its dark passage may lead
to Paradise we do not want TO 90
down into damp graves, even with
princes for bedfellows. In the beau
tiful drama Of "Ion" the hope of i'm
mortality, 30 eloquently uttered by
the death-devoted Greek, finds deepr re-
spouse in every thoughtful soul. When
about to yield his life sacrifice to
fate, his Clemanthe asks if they should
meet again; to which he responds: I
have asked that dreadful question of
the hills that look eternal--of the
clear streams that flow forever-of
stars among those fields of azure my
raised spirits have walked in glory?
All are dumb. But as | gaze upon
thy living face, | feel that there is
something in love that nantes through
its beauty, that cannot wholly perish.
We shall meet again, Clemanthe.

GIVE EEooUBAGEMENT.-Give the
young and struggling a word Of en-
couragement when you can. You
will not leave those plants in your
window boxes without water, nor re-
fuse to open the shutters 30 that the
sunlight might fall upon them, but
leave some human flower to suffer
from want of appreciation, or the sun
light Of encouragement. There are
few hardy souls that can struggle
along on stony soil--shrubs chat can
wait for the dew and the sunbeams--
vines that climb without kindly train
ing-but only few. Utter the kind
word when you can see that it is de-
served. The thought that mo one
cares and no one knows" blights many
bud Of promise. Be it the young
artist at his easel, the young preacher
in his pulpit, the workman at his
bench, the boy at his mathematical
problems, or your little girl at the
piano, give what praise you can.
