on bitter IS the sorrow
When here we part in tears,
Ard heavy Is the burden
of long and lonely years!
Rflt what will be the meeting
when life's sad journey past.
Within the Fathers keeping

As shadows of the might
Forgotten in the glory

Evening shadows were gathering
when Death came again. The room
was all in half lights; a mothers room
still, but no longer that happy mother
of little children. No little shoes
upon the floor, no little stockings in
the work basket; the low rocker
where so many lullnbies had been
sung was gone: the little pile Of
school books and states was put away:
the lessons to be learned in mothers
room were not to be conned from
books, or written upon states, The
mans face still looked down from the
mantel. but the pictures around IL
were no longer of children. but OF
men and women. All was changed,
all the childish life was folded away,
but the anxious ones as he passed
them looked with eyes that stirred
his memory, the fathomless, ages-old
memory of Death, with a recollection
of two other faees--the child and the
woman. neither of whom would 60

But now he had scarcely paused by
her side when she said TO him as one
who greets and welcomes and half
chides a friend Who has tarricd too
long: why have you waited such
weary time to come for me? | have
been watching and praying for you
oh. so long! and you let me lingcr."
And, as he gazed upon her out of the
depths of the past he remembered her,
although il was an old and worn face
that was lifted so wistfnlly 10 his.
white and lined. framed in snowy
hair, tired and grief-stricken. but the
voice was the same. though all it's VIZ
brant tones were stilled. that voice
that always took on a softer measure
at one name. So II was that when
they found her, the men and woman
who called her Mother. on her face
was strange, sweet peace, and a
smile almost Of triumph and much of
youth: for il came when she placed
her hand in that of Death. and said:

typitied her life. with its broad, un.

Nov you are ready to come with me

You have seen all that Life imposes;
YOU have known WEAKNESS; You have

But she looked up into his face, into
the passion-pure. marble-like features
of Death. and. as the glow of the
Northern Lights Pushes into roseate

And Death trailed his ghostly gar

alone. with almost bitterness against
his brother Life, who could so hold
out and so charm. When she walked
