The following poem is kindly dedi-
Gated to viii F. Reinig, of Bismarck,
Missouri, and was written on hearing
Of the passing away of his beloved
father, at Des Moines. Iowa:
A Knight has laid his armour down,
AS true as ever fought;
And passed across the stream to wear
The crown of good he sought.
His friends were all humanity,
His home, the world at length;
And, often, weeping, fallen souls
Were lifted by his strength.
He wore no badge of orthodox,
He bore no craven creed,
But lived life that scattered good
With every act and deed.
He left no monument of fame,
He filed no craven's cell;
He only sought goodly name
And filled his mission well.
He is not dead. He only passed
Across the stream of time,
Where rests the pure in heart, at last,
And bells of mercy chime.
He needs no prayers; he needs no tears. :
His motto was, ''do goods"
And through his space of useful years,
How nobly, true, he stood!
Green be the grave where father sleeps; /;
And sweet his spirit dream.
He is not dead, though sister weeps; 4.
He's only crossed the stream.
We all must cross it by and by,
And if, like he, we've stood
There'n be no death. Men cannot die,
If they, like he, do good. t
