there they fingered.
How sweet and girlish the weary face

Is though this life was not such as her
heart yearned for. And the hands IL

white and slender, dainty enough to Be
decked with gems, fair enough to be
kissed, but too frail and white for tear

Then sort of memory came to him
Oh those soft fingers on his brow, when
It had seemed burning; Of that sweet
1ace bent over him in his delirium,
when he had taken it for the face Of an
angel.
It was midday when he walked again

One of the most eminent physicians
in the country, whose practice has been
largely in hospitals and among the
wounded, was asked lately. Have you
ever grown familiar with death?"
No." was the answer. Il saw a
man die to-day, and the mystery and
horror was as great to me as i'll the first
death saw in my boyhOod."
His questioner asked, ibid YOU ever,
in all the thousands of men and women
you have seen die, see one afraid to
go?"
He reflected awhile, and then an
swered,-
'Never but one. Nature. as Novalis
says, usually carries the soul quietly
from one world to the other. There is
very rarely any shrinking from what
lies beyond. But there is. almost al
ways,an agonized looking back at some
work left undone. In almost every
case when have told a patient that
his end was near, he has said, ''H /
could only'-do something which he
had neglected to do while in health.
Dickens in one of his shorter papers,
tells the story of man shipwrecked on
a distant coast, who never can return,
but sits alone on the shore, looking
back over the waste of water, remem-
bering the love he might have given,
the kind words and actions with which
he might have made the lives of those
left behind happier, now that it is for
ever too late land we al" says the
great novelist, shall go upon that trav-
eller's voyage at last"
Hood, in one of his strongest poems,
makes woman look back on the hui
man ache and smart which she might
have healed, and the words which she
had left unspoken, from that unknown
shore.
The Egyptians had a skeleton at their
feasts perpetually to remind them OF
death; the Eastern tyrant could not
send away the slave who stood beside
his throne in his hour of triumph, to
bid him remember he was mortal Even
down to the modern times it is con
sidered by many pious men and women
right and fitting to keep hourly before
their eyes the thought of death. The
Chinese and other Oriental nations put
the idea, and even the name, of death
out of sight. 1t is considered illbred;'
HE has saluted the world" they say,
with expert evasion.
After all, it is not dying which con.
Germs us. IT is life, to day, this hour and
minute. These are ours. Death is in
Gods hand.
Thou think'st of DEATH" says the
German. Think rather of life. which
is SO much more imminent and aw'
full"
1t will avail you little to dwell each
morning on the coffin and the worm
Consider rather the life-work and the
service of God waiting for you on thai
day, and take it up heartily and zeal
Ously; that, if you are called away, you
may not look back and say. IF could
only return to do itr' when there is nc
