EuIOgy on IShdm G. Harris
(BY Robt. /. TaYlOrl

/ come to drop a flower of love
and reverence on the grave of lsham
G. Harris, in the name of the state
which he served so long and well.
If all the noble deeds he has done
for his country and for his fellow
man were flowers, l would gather a
million roses from the hearts of
Tennesseans tonight. Whatever
else may be said Of him, he was an
honest man. His heart was the
temple of truth, and his lips were
It's oracles. He loved his native
land, and loyalty to duty was his
creed. He lived long and stormy
life; he died hero.
The summons came to him In the
triumphant hour of the state, when
the Centennial bells were ringing out
the old century and ringing in the
new. In the glorious noontide of
Tennessee's joyful jubilee, when the
trumpets of peace were pouring out
the soul of music on the summer air,
he heard the solemn call of another
trumpet, which drowned all the mel
odles of this world. He saw the
shadow of an invisible wing sweep
across his pillow, pallor came
over his face, his heart forgot to
beat, there was only gasp, a sigh,
a whispered, 81 am tired" and eye
lids were drawn like purple curtains
over tired eyes; tired lips were
closed forever; tired hands were
folded on motionless breast.
The mystery of life was veiled in
the mystery of death. What is
life? What Is death? Today we
hear a bird singing i'll a treetop;

stains on the cheeks of merriment,
and mourning muffles mlrth. They
tell US that is death. The song of
the bird is the soul Of melody, and
the laughter of the child is the mel
ody of the soul.
The joys of youth are the bios
SONS of hope; manhood gathers the
golden fruits. But death robs the
bird of its song, and steals laughter
from the lips OF childhood. Death
plucks the blossoms of youth, and
turns the golden fruits of manhood
to ashes on the lips of age.
Poor Bird Is there no brighter
cline, where thy sweet spirit shall
sing forever In the tree of life?
Poor child! Is there no better
world where the soul shall wake
and smile in the face of God? Poor,
old, tired man, is it all of life to
live? Is it all of death to die? Is
there not heaven where thy totter-
ing age shall find immortal youth,
and where immortal life shall glorl-
fly thy face? 1t must be SO; it must
be so!
GA solemn murmur In the soul tells
of a world to be,
As travellers hear the pillows roll
before they reach the sea-"
There must be God. We look
up through a telescope into the blue
infute, and catch glimpses of His
glory. We see millions Of suns,
flaming like archangels on the
frontier of stella space. And still
beyond, we see on ten thousand
fields of light, crowns and shields
and spiral wreaths of stars, islands
and continents of suns, floating ON
boundless opal seas. And are there
no worlds like ours, wheeling
around these suns? Are there no
eyes but ours to see these floods of
light? Are there no sails on those
faraway summer seas? No wings
to cleave those crystal airs?
Surely there cannot be universe
of suns without universe of worlds,
desolate Of life.
We turn from the telescope and
look down through the microscope,
and it reveals in single drop of
water a tiny world teemlng with
animal life, with forms as perfect
as the human body, yet invisible to
the naked eye. 1t cannot be denied
that some power beyond this world
created them. We know that some
power beyond this world created us.
We know that they must perish,
and that we must die, and we know
that the power which created them
and us, and the stars above us, lives
on forever.
Therefore, somewhere, beyond
this world, there is infinite power
and eternal life. Let us hope that
the Christ who whispered "peace"
to the troubled waters of Galllee,
has whispered "peace" to the
troubled soul of the departed sena-
tor, and that his tired eyes have
opened to the light of a blissful i'm
mortality.

The hope which had sprung to life
under her first beautiful aspect van
ished at sight of this flush, for 1t was
not one Of JOY or surprise or even OF
unconscious sympathy. It. was the
banner of deep, uncomfortable shame.
But in q few minutes her features
settled into n strange placidity, undis-
turbed by the leveled gaze Of hun
dred eyes. Her whole attention was
concentrated on her brother and
wavered only when the duties Of the
occasion demanded recognition Of the
various gentlemen concerned in the
trial.
Mr.. Moffat prefaced his examination
by the following words:
MAY it please your honor, wish
to as, the indulgence OF the court In
my examination Of this witness. She
is just recovering from n long and
dangerous illness, and. while shall

Mr.. Moffat bowed his acknowledge

take the oath. which she did with a
simple grace which touched all hearts,
even that of her constrained and un-
recOnciled brother. Compelled by the
silence and my own bounding pulses

viction Of the brother whom she was
supposedly there to save.
Tortured by this fear, l awaited
events in indescribable agitation.
The cool voice Of Mr.. Moffat broke
in upon my gloom. Carmel had reseat-
ed herself after taking the oath, and
the customary question could be heard:
"Your name, If you please"
Carmel Cumberland"
do you recognize the prisoner, Miss
Cumberland?
"Yes; he Is my brother"
A thrill ran through the room. The
lingering tone, the tender accent, told.
Some of the feeling she thus expressed
seemed to pass into every heart which
contemplated the two. From this mo-
ment on he was looked upon with less
ton to discern innocence where per-
haps they had secretly desired until
now to discover guilt.
Miss Cumberland, will you be good
enough to tell us where you were at
or near the hour of 10 on the evening
of your sisters death?"

started to rise at her words; but, noting
the prisoners attitude, he hastily re-
seated himself, realizing, perhaps.
that evidence of which he had never
dreamed lay at the bottom of the
clients manner and the counsel's COM
placency.
