"Nos Morris Ne Sont Pas Perdusr-Etudes de .
'dture.-&. Pierre.
All, no! our dead they are not lost,
Deaths river only they have crossed
To realms sublime.
On those serene, celestial strands
They beckon US with spirit hands,
To guide US DER the trackless tide,
Who hnger ON the mortal side
A little time
Not lost but saved forevermore
With loved ones who had gone before;
And beings pur.'
Weary and weak, the burden great
Their eager spirits could not wait,
They saw before life's stormy path
What strife and tears the journey hath
Hard to endure.
Then far beyond deaths turbid stream.
They saw light, whose Heavenly beam
Was hope and Joy.
With faith the river they did brave
And vanish on its soundless wave.
We know they reached the other shore.
Where hurtful things shall never more
Their peace destroy.
We should not weep, for never there
Shall sorrow come, or tears, or care,
Or deaths fell shade.
Ne'er, ne'er that glorious realm within
Shall come the blight Of mortal sin.
No tempest there, no cherries night,
But shines an orb whose golden light
wiz never fade.
Our selfish SORROWS take away,
Godl until the heavenly day
Succeeds the night
Although their forms no more We see,
Oft lingering near Us they may be.
And this should tears and grief remove;
Death mskes no breach In hope and love,
Though he doth smite.
And though no sound our ears may reach.
There comes q spiritual speech
From that Tar shore.
1t bids us hope and toll in faith,
And TO the doubling soul 1t saith:
"soon shall ye reach the heavenly plain,
And see your loved and lost again,
But lost mo- more"

Of her grandfather, Maj. Dudley w.

Washington, D. c.. Mary Grace Barker
and Charles Christian Wyandt.
The invitations were issued both for
the ceremony at ST. Andrews church
and the quiet wedding breakfast at the
house, but they were recalled owing
to the sudden and alarming illness of
the bride, who was threatened with
typhoid fever. 1t was feared that the
marriage could not take place on the
day set, and 10 one was sure until the
bride stood on the floor at 10 a. M, IL
the parlOr before the rector, that the
ceremony could take place. As the
physician urged an immediate change
of scene and air, Mr.. and Mrs. Wyandt
went at once to Oakland, Nd, where
it is hoped, from late accounts, that the
bride will, in time, il not speedily, re-
cover her health.
The quiet wedding was frightened
by showers of lovely gifts from friends
in Portland, Me-, Abilene, Kas., Ohio
