IN OTHER DAYS.

One may concede that there were
some respects in which at earlier per-
iods life was pleasanter and more de-
risable than now: that some virtues
and graces hourished more generally,
and that there is q vast deal now that
needs correction and Improvement and
still be an optimist. There have been
times when life was more tranquil and
restfu1, when there was more of the
natural enjoyment of home and home
life and ties and less rush and hurry,
relatively much less suicide and divorce
There was also in other days greater
reverence for religion, for parents, Tor
the constituted authorities and for the
law There have been periods, too,
count of the much larger number of
great men living than now, and there
have been periods much more produc-
tive in art and literature. There have
been also exceptional communities
which were better off than are any to-
day.

BY NO. 1925.

The Lansing News tells of the death
of a prisoner in the penitent1ary by
the name of Tatum who was mem
Der of the Christian Endeavor society
organized by inmates of the institu-
ton. Tatun, who was an active mem
Der of the society, was found dead in
his cell one morning, having died from
heart disease. Another member or
this strange Endeavor society wrote
poem in memory of Tatum and the sad
thing about it all is that the signature
to this bit of verse was by No. 1925"
The following is the last verse of this
tribute from a living prisoner to an
other who had been set free by death:
"Some day we shall meet again.
Side by side with the Savior stand,
Then too shall we know why all this
WHY all these tears and grief remain.
Goodbye, but not forgotten,
For memory's golden chain,
Shall bind the hearts here below,
Till we meet not to part again."
