DEAD LIFE.
On a Grave Subject.

If death unto the legions dead,
Is as life to them that live:
Why mourn them, who worms have fed,
Or salt the earth wi bitter tears.
ITO be-" is not all there is O. life,
IT'S not ''all OF death TO die"
Existence is but hourly strife,
The dead. joyously. wander the sky.
Life is infancy of glory years, TO come;
Death the sunrise of eternal dawn.
We mourn them, in graves, cold and dumb.
Who, from the tombs, forever, are gone.
In existence chain. life's but link
By the viii OF omnipotence wrought
Death but a fount TO pause ere We drink
or Immortality sweet drausht.
Twixt links, comes. the swivel. death.
The longest life of rnightiest brain
In death life Is only a breath,
As atoms on sea shore, are but grain.
They received the judgment o. tn just,
Whom we in sorrow saw ertomb'd,
Become decayed, and wormy dust,
Ere DER their bones, roses bloomed'
Ere sob. a tear. or sigh;
Before the twinkle OF a star,
They whom We saw die.
Stood before the Judgment bar.
Rejoicing that they have died,
Whom we loved. wander the stellar scroll
The body tenement unoccupied,
Was q shell enclosing kernel soul.
To get the kernal we broke the shell
An the shell aside carelessly throw.
II there's future: a heaven or hell,
These conclusions certainly flow.
'Tis true! or the church is deceived,
And the story of Him. born in a stable.
On whom we have fondly believed.
Is a cunningiy wrought fable.
These lines ] cut in soft sand stone,
Not for fame, renown OF glory,
Only To accent faith in a throne
AS taught by the ''Old Old Story"

an anathema to call man dog. As a

finitely more certain than any mans mind.

NEW YORK. Dec. S.-Lord Dunraven's
letter and challenge for the America Cup
were posted on the bulletin board of the
New York Yacht Club a few minutes
before midnight tonight. The challenge
is virtually the same as that sent by
Dunrayen i'm 1892. The new yacht Will
bear the same name as the last challen-
ger, Valkyrie, which was defeated by the
Vigilant in October, 1898, and afterwards
went tC the bottom OF the Clyde. Lord
Dunravens new boat will be cutter.

or practically the largest single sticker
which can compete for the cup under the
terms of the deed of gift. In all prab-
ability she will differ but slightly In her
lines from those Of the old Vafkyrie.
Lord DunraVen i'm his letter suggests
several slight changes in the rules from
those which governed the last contest.
but he does not insist upon any positive
changes. He asks that the ten months
time rule be waived, so that the race
NAV be sailed earlier than October, and
prefers the one-gun start. He also asks
that all windward and ieeward races be
started 10 windwrd.
No member Of the cup committee was
present this evening when Dunraven' $
letter reached the club house. and no
official opinion is obtainabls, but there is
no question as to the acceptance OF the
challenge by the cup committee when they
meet.
