But he loved her to wen 10 dread
The sweet, the stately, and beautiful dead,

lie and she; yet she would not smile;
Though he called her the name she loved
ere-while.
He ands he: stih she did not move
To any passionate whisper of love.
Then he said: Gold lips and breast with
out breath!
Is there no voice, no language of death,
,"Dumh to the ear and still to the sense,
But to heart and soul distinct intense?
See now / will listen with SOUL not ear;
What was the secret of dying, dear!
WAS ii the infinite wonder of all
That you ever could let life's flower fall?
cor was it greater marvel to feel
The perfect calm DER the agony steal?
WAS the miracle deeper to find how deep
Beyond all dreams, sank downward that
sleep?
Did life roll back its record dear,
And show, as they say 1t does, past things
clear?

As high as to Heaven and you do not tell!
There must be pleasure in dying, sweet
To make you so placid from head TO feet.
II would tell you darling if | were dead
And 'twere your hot tears upon my brow
shed;
81 would say, tho the angel of Death had
His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid

Which of ali deaths was the chief surprise;
''The very strangest and suddenest thing,
OF all the surprises that dying must bring
All, foolish world! o most kind dead!
Though he told me, who will believe it was
said?
Who will believe what he heart her say,
With sweet, soft voice, in the dear old
way?
The utmost wonder is this-I hear
And see you and love you, and kiss you,
dear;
And am your angel VINO was your bride
And know that though dead, l have never
died.

The Value of Memory.
Memory training seems to be a topic
Of great interest just now, and its ac-
tuality is a sign that intelligent ana
progressive men and women everywhere
are looking forward to some methods to
improve their mental condition. NO per
son can become a good cOnversatlonalist
unless they have a ready memory for
picturesque language, the use of figures
of speech, illusions, suggestions, quota
tons, etc. By remembering they will be
able to lead up to point IN story, TO
