The Democracy OF Death.

Here il a gem from funeral Grafton
delivered at the grave of deceased
congressman, John N. Burns, by the
late former Senator J. Ingalls,:
"'In the democracy Of death all men
are at least equal. There is neither
rank nor station nor prerogative in the
repnhlic of tine grave. AT this fatal
threshold the philosopher ceases to be
wise and the songs of the poet ar,
silent. Dives relinquishes his millionsh
and Lazarus his rags. The poor man
is as rich as the richest, and the rice
man is as poor as the pauper. The
creditor loses his usury, and the debtor
is acquitted Of his obligation. There
the proud man surrenders his dignities,
the politician his honors, the worldling
his pleasures, the invalid needs no ply
sician, and the laborer rests from his
unrequitted toll. Here at last is ma
ture final equity. The wrongs of time
are redressed, injustice is explained,
the irony of fate is refuted, the unequal
distribution of wealth, honor, capacity,
pleasure and opportunity, which makes
life so cruel and inexplicable tragedy,
ceases in the realm Of death The
strongest there has no supremacy and
the weakest needs no defense. The
mighty captain succumbs to the irwin
chile adversary who disarms alike the
victor and the vanquished.

"There is an old hymn which says:
Prayer is the souls sincere desire,

'Given the petitioner who asks for

"' 1t is in the very nature of things.
It is based on scientific fact.
Darwin has told US and Spencer

desire, is the method of creation.
"All things come through desire.
The deer runs because 1t wants to run
