THE DEATH OF A DAY.

BY PROF. ISAAC N. VAIL.
Twas a rapturous scene,
And l gazed with delight
On the pink-tinted sheen
Ger the brow Of the night
Ger the skies blushing west,
That 30 skilled hand could ira,
Ger the high welkin dressed
With ineffable grace.
And heard something say
In the calm, quiet air,
SITS the death Of a day,
And his watchers are there"
IT'S the proud form of Time
Moving downward to die,
With his honors sublime
Floating back on the sky.
"The streamers that spread
Ger the brow OF the deep,
Are his glances that fade
As he sinks to his sleep.
And the bright armament,
Is his pure soul afloat.
Where his glories are blest
As his spirit goes out"
He was kissed by the cloud
In its liv'ry of light,
And the winds sang aloud
Ger his beautiful fight,
And the strain was so sweet
He was joyous to die,
In his pure winding-sheet-
The emerald sky.
"We lay thee to rest
In thy cterub-made tomb,
And the smiles of the west
Ger thy ashes shall bloom.
The sweet-curtained morn
To thy glory be wed;
And a new day be born
To the beautiful dead"
The spirits came down
As the old Day retired,
And the stars gathered round
As be smiled and expired.
And the dark shadows fell
Der the waste of the deep,
And the breeze tolled the knell
Of a day gone to sleep.
At the nights solemn Lid
The pdil-bsarers came,
And the moon closed the lid
On the last look of fame.
And the marshaling skies
In the transit arrayed,
Were dipped in the dyes
AS the cortege was made.
Then away moves the train,
With slow, silent tread,
Toward the star-checkered main,
With its glorious dead.
Oh, the beautiful death
What lesson portrayed
To this vanishing breath;
To his lingering shade!
To be watched by the skies
As we linger in state;
To be wrapped in their dyes,
As the angels await;
To be borne from the earth
In such seauiy away
To the wonderful birth
Of a lovelier day;
To he sung by the stars,
As they gaze on the sod;
To be famed by the breeze
In the Garden of God.
Oh these are but dreams
OF that Heavenly air,
But glimpse of the streams
That are glittering there.

The Beecher Family.

The question was raised recently
whether Henry Ward Beecher was
younger or older than his sister, Mrs.
Stowe. Itwas fcusfd that Mrs. Stowe
was born in 1912 and Mr.. Beecher in
1913; he is little more than one year
the younger. Catherine Beecher was
born nearly twelve years before her
better knoYn sister. While Catherine
lost her lover, Prof. Fisher of Yale Col
lege, by shipwreck, when she was still
very young, Mrs. Stowe married, it APP
pears, a widower, if we are to trust e.
D. Mansfeld's Memories" which say
that s'Prof Stowe had for first wife a
handsome New England lady" Mr..
Stowe was ten years older than his
wife, who wrote her great work at the
age of forty, and her second important
novel, ''Dred," at the age of forty-four.
The Beecher family seem to owe their
literary vitality to their transportation
to the West, where their father, Lyman
Beecher, went about 1882, and he re-
NAMED there many years. Mrs. Stowe
lived in Cincinnati about seventeen
years, or till the time that she planned
"Uncle Tom" which novel was not
drawn from Eastern or Virginia slave
sources, but from Kentucky, and the
escaping slaves who came up through
Ohio and Indiana. Among these was
Eliza Harris, whose feat Of crossing the
river with her child, on floating cakes
Of ice, is fully testified to in the recently
published "reminiscences of Levi Coffin,
the President of the Western Under
ground Railroad, who sheltered her at
his house, Gath" in New York Trib-
une.

An Apology.

George the Third was popular with
the English people. They represented
him for the purity of his domestic life,
and called him Farmer George" on ac-
count of his plebeian ways and his good
nature.
The King loved to mingle Familiarity
with his subject and cared little for
court etiquette which made q hedge
about him.
One day, while returning from hunt
ing, the King entered into conversation
with his wine merchant, Mr.. Caborrel.
The two rode side by side a long way,
much to the distress of Lord Walsing-
ham, the gentleman in waiting.
Watching his opportunity, his lord
ship took the the merchant aside and
whispered something in his ear.
"What' sthat? What's that Walsingham
has been saying to you?" saked the
good humored King, seeing that ths
merchant appeared annoyed.
81 find, SIR" said the merchant,
"that have been unintentienally guilty
of disrespect to your Majesty. My lord
informs me that I ought to take of my
hat whenever address your Majesty.
But ycur Majesty will please to notice
that my hat is fastened to my wig and
my wig is fastened to my head, and
1 am on the back of spirited horse.
So that if anything goes off, we must
all go off togather."
The King laughed heartily at the
apology, and babe the merchant keep
ca Lis hat

Abuse Of Rich Men.

It is about time that justice was done
in fiction to our rich men. They have
Jared rather badly in our literature
until the advent Of the new school who
would have MS believe that only the
weak and mean things in common life
are fit to be noted as foils for the calm.
sweet life that floats above tin the
mystic realm where millions are no
more than pennies to the poor. There
has been strange propensity on the
part Of the American novelist hereto-
fore to almost make war on the very
richest rich Of our land. He has de-
lighted in tracing them back to the
dunghill, il showing by what arts they
rose, and noting the effect Of these
things upon the tinse1 lives Of upper
tendon. That day is gone, and we are
evidently nearing the millennium when
the only people worth knowing will be
those whose fortunes are writ In six .fiR-
ures. We are glad to see il. tits time
they had their innings. They cannot
be TOO good, though they may be t6b
many, and it is perhaps time that this
nge Of mammon lovers should begin 10
shape and fashion their .lden calves
