The death of Hon. Bailey Gaizert has
had depressing eject upon society. He
was so intimately connected with the
leading people Of the city and 20 valued
member of the circle which has 1t in its
power to entertain with all the advan-
tages that wealth and refinement can
bring that his demise could have no other
effect than to put quieter tone
upon the social activities Of the
day. Mr.. Gatzert's splendid quail
ties of heart and mind made deep
impression upon tho entire community.
A young lady of this city who. while not
knowing him personally, had heard 30
much Of his lovable character that she had
learned to love him % . genial, upright
mind, was greatly impressed with the
appropriateness of these lines OF William
Winter. - referring to him whom she read
them on the day Of his death:
SACRIFICE.
Early, but not too early for thy fame.
The seal of silence ON thy lips IL laid,
While We aghast, disheartened and dismayed,
Crush back our tears and poftly speak thy
name.
To us It has one meaning and the same
brave and gentle soul. . noble mind.
Pure, constant. generous. modest and refined,
With simple duty for Its only aim.
Dear are the days that thou hast left behind.
By sweet words hallowed. and by kindly
And thus the heart OF sorrow means and
bleeds.
And ever bIeeos ana will not be resigncd--
Knowing it, hopeless hope ID oil in vain,
To see thy face or hear thy voice again.

LINGER NEAR THE CHRIST.

Wouldst thou know the theme OF music.
Dwelling in the glowing breast
OF the pink and lovely sea she'll
Wouldst thou from its secrets wfest:
wouldst thou knok the songs immortal.
That the winds and trees sing low,
Or the waves that chant forever
In their never-csasing fiow7
Wouidst thou grasp the strains triumphant,
Bursting from the world Of song;
Would thy heart throbs be thy harplst
Lifting hsavsnward the throngf
Lnger near the Christ
o Posti
Would thy pen. With searching power.
Clean the golden wheat of life
Garner we'll Of Wisdom's riches.
Burning out the chat, called strife;
Wouldst thou herald truth, untainted,
Beautiful - morning sun,
Fraught with cheer and light eternal
For the careworn, weary one?
Wouldst thou write OF Gods creation
With soul that understands:
W0uldst tho1 know the regal grandeur
OF His seas, and OF His lands?
Linger near the Christ
o Artist
Wouldst thou know the matchless glory
OF Gods etchings gainst the sky:
Wouidst thou tell the sunsets story,
With purer, clearer eye:
Or portray the silv'ry trailing
OF tho moons bright gauzy dress
Ger the oceans fair, warm ripplee
Tinted BY glowing west;
Wouldst thy soul of its art treasures,
Tell with firm, unerring hand
With the burning fire of genius
Trace fair monuments to staudf
Lnges near the Christ
