THE FEAR OF DEATH.

Last night woke and found between US drawn
Between u.s. where no mortal fear may creep
The vision Of Death dividing us in sleep;
And suddenly thought, ere light shall dawn
Some day, the substance, not the shadow, Of
Death
Shall ceave us like sword The vision passed,
But all its new born horror held me FAST
And till day broke listened for your breath.
Some day to wake and find that colored Skies
And ppings in the woods, and petals wet,
Are things for aching memory to forget;
And that your living hands and mouth and eyes
Are part of all the worlds old historiesl-
Dear Godl q little longer, ali not yeti

tNtrospccl At my own life, aud sec
hoW entered not upon these studies
until the bright child.lifc was gone,
aud vi the long tedious aud almost
frmtlcss months spent In acquiring
that which I ought 20 have been
familiar with before entered my
teens, II is little wonder cry out to
coming generations to warn them Of
the danger OF losing time. On the
supposilion that, at the age OF
twelve, a girl has a fair knowledge
of French aud German, laid foun-
dalton for mathematics, and has had
her reading directed in such way
that 1t has been real benefit to her,
she Is then ready TO take up history
and literature, not forgetting that
all along music has been as care
fully studied as her classics. For
II we would have the evil things in
life lose their power, we must
awaken a love of the higher to its
true life. Everyone can appreciate
something of the power Of music for
good, il in their early years they
have been awakened to the sensibil-
ity of melody.
The careful study of history and
literature will round out an educa-
ton in such manner, that all
along life's journey the girl will
never cease to be student and can
be deaf to the beautiful in nature,
poetry or song. Language and
natural science, music, literature,
history and mathematics, l would
teach a girl in her girlhood, and
then, with prayer TO Heaven fol-
her safety, l would send her for
