THERE Is NO DEATH

There is no death. the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
Tn y shine forevermore.
There is no death, the forest leaves
Convert to life the viewless air;
The rocks disorganize 90 feed
The hungry moss they bear.
There is no death; the dust we tread
Shall change. beneath the summer showers
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
There is no death. the leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The warm sweet breath of May
There is no death, the choicest gifts
That heaven has kindly lent to earth
Are ever first 10 seek again
The country oftheir birth.
And all things that for growth or JOY
Are worthy of our love or care,
Whose loss has left US desolste,
Are safely garnered there.
Though life become dreary waste,
VIC hnVN itS istiEtrts SNttttNl uOAtIrt
Tnnsplanted into Paradise,
Adorn immortal bowers.
The voice OF birdlike melody
That we have IN ssed and mourned so Ions
Now mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song.
There is no death; although we grieve
When beautiful familiar forms
That we have learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms
Although with bowed and breaking heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dust 10 rest,
And say that they are dead
They are not dead; they have but passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
OF that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe of clay
To put their shining raiment on;
They have but wandered far away
They are not ''lost" nor ''gone."
Though Disseminated and glorified,
They still are mere, and love US yet;
The dear ones they have left behind
They never can forget.
And, sometimes, when our hearts grow faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep.
or when the wildly-raging waves
ofgrief or passion sweep.
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle, touch. their breath of balm;
Their arms enfold US, and our hearts
Grow eomforted and calm.
And ever near as. though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless universe
Is Life-there are no dead,

FOUND DEAD
The Famous Bug Catcher Of the Yosemite
Gone

The Famous Bug Catcher OF the yosemite
YOSEMITE. April 19.-Some Indians
who arrived here this evening report the
finding of the body Of ]. b. Lambert
dead in his cabin. Lambert lived in the
winter about seventeen miles down the
Merced river from here, and has been
missing about two weeks. a search
was made for him but without success.
Later ON some Indians went to his cabin
and tearing off a board saw his lifeless
body in the cabin. The coroner Of the
county has been notified and until he
arrives and an inquest on the body is
made no one can say If his death has
been from natural causes or not. No
foul play is suspected, as his cabin was
locked on the inside, showing that he
must have locked it himself before he
died.
Lambert Is an old timer in and around
the Yosemite, having lived here for the
past twenty-five years, and many of
the tourists who have visited the VAL
ley in the past few years will remember
him as he was familiarly called 1.-THE
Bug Catcher of YOSEMITE. Those of the
Sierra club and others who have made
visits to the Sierras will well remember
him as the owner of the famous Tuo-
lumne Meadows where are located the
soda springs and where all persons
wishing to make the ascent Of Mount
Conness or Mount Dana stop for the
night before starting on their climb up
the mountain. He was we'll yersed in
entomology and had been known to re-
ceive as much as $3.50 for one rare insect.
