ty." Death for us has no telTors'
Death is a triumph over the grave.
The man who has lived all his life ODE
dent to the cardinal principles OF the
Elks stands sun capped in the evening
of life, holding out a welcoming hand
to Death. Death does not end all. Why
was this thirst for Immortality implant-
ed in the human mind If it We're only
to be dashed to fragments at the close?
No, death is not an eternal sleep
Death is but the commencement of inn
mortality.
A child planted rose; she watched
the blossoms burst forth in the sun
shine. They smiled and nodded to her
in the summer wind and she loved
them. In the winter they died and she
wept. In the summer they burst forth
into bloom again, and joyfully the chlld
exclaimed, "Mamua, the roses We're
only sleeping, and they have walked up
again." How symbolical of life ana
death? Day IS generated out OF night,
land night out of death. Sleeping must
follow waking, and waking must fol-
low sleeping; and so life is merged
into death and death into life rms
has been the Judgment of the best ana
wisest of all the ages. Socrates taught
the same idea two thousand years ago
TO his Atheniau pupils.
"There is no Death, the stars go down

And bright i'm Heavens jeWelled crown
They shine forever more.

Humanity needs the softening influ-
ence of death to bring us nearer to each
other. Life stretches on like an endless
chain. whose initial links we know not,
nor yet those to come.

The maiden placed her hand in that of
the smiling angel and said, Death is
beautiful, but crowned with suffering,
and [ choose Life" The smiling angel
folded the maiden to her soft bosom
and answered, Il am Death, my child;
the other was Life" Let us believe that
death is beautiful, that death is kind:
Science has not dimmed the star of

The II o'clock toast, to which refer

of the most beautiful features of ouI

Eng1and,s Good WIN.

A gratifying circumstance in the
present crisis is the hearty sympa-
thy that the British people and
government have shown for the
position and efforts of the United
States to end state of affairs that
has become intolerable. The
English, Irish and Scoth journals,
with few exceptions. show cor
dial appreciation of the motives
aud acts of the American people
in the Cuban crisis, and more than
one of them has gone SO far as to
recommend practical aid to this
government in case it should be
become necessary. 1t is under
stood that the British government
has assured the United States
government of it's good will in the
matter in hand, and that it has
refused to join the requests of GER
tain of the powers of Europe to
put pressure on the United States
to save Spain from the loss of
Cuba.

About the Collection OF Assesszae nts
Against Insolvent lsantS<.
washington. April 2S.-An important
ruling has been made by Charles c.
Dawes, comptroller OF the currency,
relating to the practice OF the comp
trol1er's ONCE in regard to the collec=
ton OF assessments against the stock
holders of insolvent national banks
and the distribution of the proceeds of
such assessments
Under this ruling, whenever 1t be-
Genes necessary in adjusting the rights
of creditors and stockholders of in
solvent banks to either levy second
assessment upon stockholders for the
beneft of the creditors. or to return
an excessive assessment to stockhold-
ers, the comptroller viii review the
original assessment for the purpose OF
making such adjustment contrary to
the practice of the Office heretofore.
which has been to guard an assessment
based on the first estimate OF deficiency
in the banks assets as final, irrespec-
tive of whether that estimate was as
matter of fact too large or too small
This ruling is of great Importance,
as it relates to assessments already
levied throughout the country, as well
as those hereafter to be levied upon
stockholders in insolvent national
banks, whose affairs are not entirely
closed.

Giving.

There is no human law which
compels a man to grant favor to
another, or to make gift of either
money or work, unless he wishes
to do so. But, if he does give to
charity or to an Individual, let it
be gracefully. How many mem
bers of church and charitable com
mittees will attest mournfully TO
the fact that there are some people
whom they dread to ask for money
They will give it, of course, but
they give it grudgingly and of
necessity. There are others who,
when asked to contribute some
thing to help on worthy enter
prise, respond, Certainly in a
way that makes the gift far more
precious. 1t is the spirit in which
it is granted that makes it accept
