which no traveller returns, the melody of
his life and the good he has done because
OF his having lived beams in beauteous

woven into grand proverb:
so live that when thy summons comes
to join

To that mysterious realm where each

His chamber in the silent halls of death
Then go not, like the quarry slave at

Scourged to bis dungeon, but sustained
and soothed
by an uufaitering trust, approach thy
grave
Like one that wraps the drapery of his
couch
About him and lies down to pleasant
dreams.
With this thought in mind, it NAV be
truly said that the life of our departed
brother affords us heroic example. In

and while upon every hand the sunlight
OF ardent friendship smiled upon him

When life was filed with perfumed gales.
And thoughts OF future never fioated
The boys, the girls played with then
No longer tread the paths we loved.
They are dead, they are gone-I stand

Alas, Its stiffness was unbroken-
lite former scenes were lost to sight.
No sound from rosy lipe gave token.
In the long ago what happy throngs
In joyous mirth and laughter strolrd
Along this lane; sang light, gay songs,
AND love tales, too, were often told.
The balmy winds that kiss'd the cheek
VI happy couples-happy lovers,
Was filed with odOrs rare and sweet
The perfume OF a thousand flowers.
The change is sadl Ii fills nv heart
With longipgs for the happy past,
When love was one continuous part
Oi happiness too sweet to last.
Farewell, old times, old joys, old friends
But few remain your past to cheer
One heart. at least. before you bends.

N. Y. p. & N. R.R. Float Founders
In Chesapeake Bsv.


Turing gale in Chesapeake bay Sat
urday night the \. Y, p & n. Railways
tug Phiiadelphia was compelled to aban.
don the company's big car float No. ;.
and Captain Franklin and the crew of
two men on the float had a thrilling ex-
perience as they driited helplessly. They
were picked up by the company s steamer
Pennsylvania As they drifted about in
the vicinity OF the Capes the barge lost
three cars loaded with merchandise and
two Others aboard were wrecked by the
heavy seas.
The tug left Norfolk on Saturday
evening with the float bound for Cane
Charles. When within lew miles OF
Cape Charles the tugs master saw they
would be unable TO handle the big float
with its lS cars, so he cut her loose and
proceeded with all speed to Cape Charles.
The powerful steamer Pennsylvania was
at the Capes, and on Sunday morning
started to search for the float, which was
sighted during the forenoon. The gale
had not abated very much and il was
with great difficulty that the steamer
succeeded in getting a line to the float.
