Passing Thoughts.

As the trials of life thicken and the
dreams Of other days fade one by one in
deep vista of disappointed hope, the
heart grows weary Of the struggles, and
we begin to realize our insignifcance
Those who have climbed to the pinnacle
OF fame or revelled in luxury and wealth
go 10 the grave at las. with the poor
mendicant who begs pennies by the way
side, and like him as soon forgotten.
Generations have felt as we feel, and
their fellows were as active in life as
ours are now. Tney passed away as
vapor, while nature wore the same as
pect Of beauty as her creator commanded
her to. And so, likewise shall it be
when we are gone. The heavens will be
as bright over our graves as they are
now around our path; the world will
have the same attractions for offsprings
yet unborn that che had for ourselves
and that she has nod fofSour children.
Yet little while, and all this will have
happened. The days will continue to
move on, and laughter and song win be
heard in the very chamber in which We
died and the eyes that mourned for us
will be dried, and Will glisten with joy,
and even our children will cease to think
OF Us and will not remember to lisp our
name. Thus quickly will pass the mem
ory Of each life; and how much more
quickly if that life is not worthy OF
emulation by those who follow us.-Ex.
