DEATH.

Out Of the shadows of sadness.
Into the sunshine of gIadness,
Into the light of the blest,
Out of land very drenry,
0at of a world very weary,
Into the rapture of rest.
Out of tO-day's sin and sorrow,
Into a bIissful Tomorrow.
Into a land without gloom;
Out of land filled with signing,
Land of the dead and the dying
Into land without tomb.
Out of n life of commOtiOa,
Tcmpest-sWcpt oft ns the ocean.
Dark with the wrecks drifting
Ger,
Into a land calm and quiet,
Never a storm cometh nigh IL,
Never a wreck ON its shore.
Out Of land I'm whose bowers
Perish aud fade all the flowers;
Ont of the land of decay.
Into the Eden where fairest
OF fiowerets, and sweetest and
rRrest,
Never shall wither away.
Out of the land of the waiIing
ThrOnged With the anguished and
aliiRg,
Out of the world of the sad.
Into the world that rejOices-
World of bright vision and
voices
Into the world of the glad.
Out of life ever mournful,
Out Of a land very lOrnful,
Where In bleak exile we roam,
Into a iOyiaBd above as,
Where there's a Father to love
Into our hOme-~sweet Home"

SOME SEA SIGNS.

Figureheads Were First Images of

From the ST. Louis Republic
There is a general idea that the sailor

superstition popular tradition assigns 10
each individual Competent authority
contends, however. that tars are no
more superstitious than any of their
equals in training and opportunities.
However that may be- the following
may be cited as instances Of the signs
and tokens In which those who go
down to the sea in ships put their
faith.
In The past superstition was part OF
every ship: it entered into its keel.
climbed to its flags, ran at It's launch
ing, controlled its crew and cargo,
evoked portents, and governed its ven
lures and arrivals.
A bit of stolen wood was always NOR
tised into the keel to make ship
sail fasts-zA silver coin was placed in
the mainmast step to insure lucky ven
lures. The modern christening by the
wine bottle arose from the ancient lba-
tions poured on the deck by priests.
On a sailing ship lawyers, women, and
the clergy are looked upon with dis
favor as they are supposed to bring
III luck Every black cat that comes
or board carries gale in her TAIL
whistling is much against the proprte-
ties Of sea life. If one whistles for a
breeze he Is only too apt to bring a
tornado.
Ship bells are blessed. and to this day
if a mistake is made in striking one 1t
is Immediately struck backward to break
the spell The belief in the desertion OF
sinking ship by rats is founded on
reason, for rats like to be dry-footed
and when a vessel is unsafe ii be-
comes leaky under deck and too wet
for the creatures comfort.
Figureheads were first images Of gods,
then of saints and sea heroes. Chinese
junks bear two glaring eyes on their
bows, for mo have two eyes. how can
