An Eloquent Extract &.


Generation after generation have
feit as we do now. an their lives were
as active as ours. The heavens shall be
bright around our graves as they are
around our paths. Yet little while
all this will have happened. The
throbbing heart will be stilled and we
shall be at rest. Our funeral will
wend its way, and prayers will be
said, and we shall be left in the
darkness and the silence of the tomb.
And 1T may be but for short time
we shall be spoken o., but the things
OF life shall creep on and our names
will be forgotten. Days will con
tInue to move on, and laughter all d
song will be card in the room
where we died; and the eye that
mourned for us will be dried and
animated with JOY, and even our
children will cease to think of us,
and will remember to lisp our names
no more.-Ex.
