The hand that doth the scepter sway
Will pulseless lie in death;
All that is born must pass away,
For life is but breath.

The last Sad summons came,
Where high and low or noble born
Must answer to his name.
Death rudely kissed his manly brow,
Embraced his quivering form
He softly said, 'I'm ready now!
see sweet angel forms.'

to Missouri we learned to revere the
name of II. P. Bland. And if the con-
vention at Chicago will place his name
before the people on clear-cut plat
form, free from ambiguity and free
from the taints of gold monometalism,
we can go into the campaign with
heart and soul, and we will make the
fight of lifetime.
