PATIENCE WITH THE LIVING.

Sweet friend. when thou and are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor
When small shall be our need OF grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed oil the strife. the toll, the care.
And done with all the signing,
What tender ruth shall we have gained,
Alas by simply dyingf
Then lips too chary OF their praise
WIN tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults To sec
Shall no defect discover.
Then hands that would not lift stono
Where stones were thick TO cumber
Our steep hill path win scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friend, perchance both thou and l.
Ere love Is most forgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home;
Be patient with the living,
Today's repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then patience, cen when keenest edge
May whet a nameless sorrowl

Death silence shames our clamor;
And easy to discern the best.
Through memorys mystic glamer;
But wise 1t were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,

"The Passion of Christ"

The most curious book in the world
