DEATHS IN 1900.
The dying year hes left the average
number OF tombstones in old Alexan-
dria, 1872 white adults having paid the
debt Of nature since the advent OF 1900.
The year itself, after the midnight
stroke, will have become part of his.
tory and back number.
With the listing of children and COL
ored psople the death rate in AlexaL-
| d.ia is about one every twenty.four
hours; hence there is Grape upon some
door every day In the year. 1t is
serious subject upon which to mediate,
and yet solemn fact, that several hun
dred people now moving among us will
be sleeping in the city of the dead
when the bells are tolling out 1901.
We have no idea who may be booked
for the eternal world, nor would it
add to our peace of mind to know; but
10 the face of such solemn fat how pa
tient should we be with one another,
especially with those with whom it is

would like to recall many thought

some one now in the spirit world, and.
how much easier we could have render.
ed the path OF some struggling soul
who has gone before US. Instead OF
crowding and knitting one another in
the mad race for preferment, riches,
power or honor, how much more would
it be in accord with our mundane mis-
sion to bear each Other's burdens, 50
that when the angel OF death overtskes
US land be is on the track of ally his sting
sill have more Of its venom extracted.
Aud now, upon the treshold OF a New
Year, let all still in the land OF the liv-
log endeavor to be kind to one another.
as it is impossible to tell who is to drop
out of the race during the coming year.
