His Majesty Edward VII. is credit

easier to live up to the obligations

1862, Colonel Alexander, of Topeka,
who was an intimate friend of the
president, visited him at Washington,
and found him in a greatly depressed

of the degeneration of a once pros

with a seedy man sitting ON di.
lapidated doorstep.
''Giad to see ye,' said he.

''and they say you done noble"

overcome with .impotent rage.

IN THE SILENCE.

They are out of the chaos of living.
The wreck and debris of the years;
They have passed from the struggle and
striving,
They have finished their goblet of tears:
They have ceased, one by one, from their
labors.
So we clothed them in garments Of rest,
And they entered the Chamber OF 81
lence-
God do for them now what is best!
We saw not the lift of the Curtain
Nor heard the invisible Door
AS they passed where life's problems
uncertain
Will follow and them no more.
We fingered and wept on the threshold
Then we laid new wreath down upon 1t,
To mark new. sorrow and loss.
Then back to our separate places
A little more. lonely creep,
With little more care in our faces,
The wrinkles little more deep.
And we stagger, Ah-God, how we stagger
AS we lift the old load to our back.
A little more lonely to carry
For want of the comrade we lack.
But into our lives, whether chidden
Or welcome, Gods comforters come;
His sunshine waits not to be hidden,
His stars-they are always at home;
His mornings are faithful, His twilights
Allay the days fever and fret;
And Night-kind physician-entreats US
To slumber, and dream, and forget.
o Spirit of Infinite Kindness,
And gentleness passing all speech!
Forgive when we miss in our; blindness
The comforting Hand Thou dost reach.
Thou sendest the Spring on Thine errand
To soften the grief of the world;
For us is the calm of the mountain,
For us is the roseleaf uncurled!
Thou art tenderer, too, than a mother,
In the wonderful Book 1t is said.
o Pillow of Comfort! what other
So softly could cradle my head?
Ard though Thou hast darkened the
Portal
That leads where our vanished ones be,
We lean on our faith in Thy goodness,
And leave them to Silence and Thee.
