If | should die tonight,
My friends would look upon my quiet face
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it almost
fair;
And laying snow.white flowers against
my hair
Would soothc it down with fearful tender
ness,
And fold my hands with lingering caress,
Poor hands, SO empty aad SO cold tonight.
II should die tonight,
My friends would call to mind, with low
ing thought,
Some kindly deed the icy hands had
wrought;
Some gentle word the frozen lips had said.
ErTands on which the willing feet had
sped.
The memory Of my sclfshness and pride,
Ny hasty words would all be put aside.
And so [ should be loved and mourned to.

BIG NEW BUILDING.
]. D. Williams & Brother to Locate
on Washington Avenue.

The work of eXcavating for the
foundations of the big building which
j. d. Williams & Brothers will erect on
the site of the First Presbyterian
church was begun yesterday. Though
the church building proper is not to he
vacated until January, the work of
putting in the vaults under the side
walks and of eXcating wherever posi-
ble will be done at once.
The building which it is proposed 10
erect will be 106Xl60 feet, and three
stories high, of brick construction, with
stone trimmings. 1t will be so con-
structed that several additional stories
may be later added on If necessary.
The firm will move into the building
from their present store on l-acka-
wanna avenue, and expect to be doing
business there in the summer.
