SLEEP AND DEATH.
The Difference stages are Summed
up-HOw They Are Related.

The Difference Stages are Summed
up-How They Are Related.
From the Cosmopolitan.
The phenomenal called sleep may
be summed up in the following propo-
jsitions:
First-sleep Is temporary death OF
the functions of the sensitive system,
due to exhaustion by fatigue.
Seconly-this death is temporary
because the vital system continues to
perform its functions during sleep
and restores the sensitive organs to
their normal condition. :
For our purpose death may be con-
sidered under the three heads, natural
death, sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death is death from
old age. 1t differs from natural sleep
only ip degree.
The gradual loss of sensibility by
the sensitive organs which proceeds
sleep now aud all the organs pass into
permanent sleep together. There can
be no pain preceding or at the moment
of such a death, any more than there
is pain preceding and at the moment
of passing into temporary sleep.
Sudden death may be defined as
death due to a. sudden Injury from
without. or once all irritability of both
the sensitive and vital system. 1t re-
quires no argument to prove that a
person who is suddenly strlken dead
can suffer no pain. The element OF
time must be present in order to suf-
fer physical pain, and In the sudden
death of q person the element Of time
is absent.
We come now to consider the third
and by far the mos frequent form OF
death, namely, deatA from disease.
AS o 10 as disease Ia established dy-
ing begins, which Is but q more rapid
than natural ceasiDg Of all sensibilli.
ties. accompanied with more or less
suffering, called disease, must termi-
nate either in socalled death, which
is insensible to it, OF in recovery
which is removal of the cause of it.
But in any event the suffering has
been endured. no matter whether the
final termination is death or recovery
Nc one is conscious of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking In.
to natural or temporary sleep. No
shall we, by a supreme agony' or in
any other way, be conscious of passing
into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
more important physiological events
in the life history Of our bodies, anC
we shall know no more about the lattel
event at the time it occurs than We
did about the former.

cry and CHINA.
The watere Lilies.

A beautiful lesson is taught in the
following poem, which in the SER
mon on Sunday morning DIR. Watson
B. Duncan, of the Methodist church,
had occasion to use, and on account
of it's truth and sweetness we take
pleasure In reproducing it:
The Master stopped in his garden
Among the lilies 80 fair,
Which his own right hand had planted
And trained with the tenderest
care.
He looked at their snowy blossoms,
And marked with observant eye,
That his flowers were sadly dropping,
For their leaves were parched and
dry.
my lilies need to be watered."
The Heavenly Master said:
"Wherein shall I draw it for them
And raise each dropping head?"
Close at his feet, on the pathway.
Empty, and frail, and small,
An earthen vessel was living,
Which seemed of no use at all.
But the master saw and raised it.,
From the dust in which it lay,
And smiled as he gently whispered,
"This shall do my work today.
It Is but an earthern vessel,
But it lay so close to me;
1t is small, but it is empty,
Which is all it needs to be-"
So to the fountain he took IL,
And filled it to the brim.
How glad was the earthen vessel
To be of some use to him!
He poured forth the living water
Over his lilies fair,
Until his vessel was empty,
And again he filled it there.
He watered the dropping lilies
Until they revived again,
And the master saw with pleasure,
That his labor had not been vain.
His own hand had drawn the water
Which refreshed the thirsty flow
ers,
But he used the earthen vessel,
To convey the living showers.
And to itself it whispered,
As he laid it aside once more,
''StiIl will I lie in his path way,
Just where I did before.
Close would I keep to the Master,
Empty would I remain,
And perhaps some day he may use
me
To water his flowers again"

AN ABBEyILLE MAN MISSING.
Mr.. charles Morris Believed to nave
Been Drowned while Visiting

Special TO The State.
Anderson, Aug. 2.-Ahout six weeks ago
Mr.. Charles Norris. a clerk In the freight

and told her 70 meet him at Norfolk. on g
certain date. In the meantime she decided
not 10 20 TO Jamestown because she had been
unwell. She wrote her husband and since
that time has not heard one word from Inn.
After waiting some time and not hearing
from him Mrs. Morris began TO take some
steps to locate him. b Seaboard autnorl.
ties also started 10 search for him. ibis

Morris has been given up az dead. II JIG
thought that be was drowned, as q captain OF
a steamer at Jamestown has written MRS.
Morris that .ome OF the passengers were iost
on q trip and that Mr.. Morris was probably
one ofthem. ~,

books wore In perfect shape and there Was
nothing TO cause him TO run away or iii

to have been from accident. Every effort
has been made to locate him, but all to nc
avail. The unfortunate man has many
friends and relatives in this and ADoeVllle
