Who Knows?


Who knows We have not lived before
In forms that felt delight and pain?
II death is not the open door
Through which We pass 10 life again?
The fruitful seed beneath the sod
In infant bud and blooms may rise;
But by the eternal laws OF God
IL is not quickened till il dies.
The leaves that tremble on the tree
Fall meath the stroke of autumn's
storms,
But by some mighty mystery.
With spring return in other forms.
As currents of the surging sea
From undiscovered sources flow
So what We were and yet may be
In this brief life we may not know
But oft some unexpected CLEANS
or past and unremembered years
Break through the doorway OF our
dreams.
And some familiar face appears
A kindred spirit, lost awhile,
Amid the change from death 10 birth,
Whose beaming eye and loving smile
Recall some former scenes OF earth.
And thus unconscious OF the tie
The mystic link that love creates
Perhaps We see our own who die,
In newer forms and other states.
Perhaps with every cycle passed
In all the ages yet 10 be
Our loved Will come 10 us at last,
As parted waters find the sea
Not wholly clad as they were seen
When death unbound their robes OF
clayS
But with seraphic face and men.
And souls that may not pass away

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Slight i'm

what uneasy throughout the night and
slept little. but this morning is resting
quietly.
Malarial symptoms have appeared In
the Secretary's case. which tend to
complicate 1t. and one i'll effect Of this
has been to stop the healthful process
of absorption Of the pleuratic fluid
which had been going on, as a result
Of the treatment adm nistered.
The Secretary has always been subject
to these malarial attacks, but hereto
fore they have been unaccompanied by
any more serious ailment. AS 1t has
not been deemed prudent to permit
him to partake of any solid nourishment
the patient is much reduced in flesh and
strength. and IL Is proba BILE that he will
be confined to his bed for several weeks
