Lay Him to Rest.

As handed to us on the day of the fun
eral, the beautiful poem in honor of the
late John l.. Stevens, written by Hon.
Joseph A. Hon an, one of the nearest and
dearest friends of the deceased and read
by Rev. C. A. Hayden, was lacking one
stanza. We rcpublish it this morning in
its completed form.
Lay him to rest!
Time-worn and spent-a life's warfare Is
ended;
or duty with service so loyalty blended
For Truth and the Right to stand or to fall
Lay him to rest.
For Truth and the Right-every word he has
uttered
Rings clear with purpose, nor doubling,
His face never blanched, his heart never
Huttered,
Where duty has found him "the flag was
apeak!"
Lay him to rest!
Here, where began the high manhood ambi-
To manhood ne'er false-have won him a
place
With the names which have reaped flames
fairest fruitions-
Here, Wnerei tfiuln piidHt, mas eHutu tHe Iice'
Lay him to rest.
Gone!-in the flush OF life's worthy achieve
ment-
While ocean to ocean re-echoes his name;
Though crushed with the grief of Il souls
great bereavement,
LSerene-in the right-to mems plaudit or
blame.
Lay him to rest!
Gone from the scenes of earth's joy and afllic-
ton,
From the home of his love, again death-dark
in sorrow,
he has left with us here, like saints benedic-
ton,
Fresh courage, new cheer, for our work of
the morrow.
Lay him to rest!
Mourn not for our friend; tears are for the
living.
The heart-breaks of earth will have never
surCease;
But out of all pain will rise gladdest thanks
giving
For the Infinite JOY of spirit at peace.
