In the midst of life we are In
death" When the matehless phrases
of the Book OF Common Prayer were
being nodded the world was never
free from the smoke of battle and the
clash of swords; there was fighting
to the death In the streets OF every
large city; all merchant ships carried
guns, for piracy was part of the rec
ognized business OF the high seas;
epidemic diseases were scourges that
men knew now how to evade or avert;
adNenturers sailed to unk, own lands
and were never heard Of more. The
chance OF death was part of the ordin-
airy life consciousness OF every man;
the songs OF the very street told or
men marching tc the grave with ban
ner and bugle for honor that cannot
die; the great lord built his tomb
with as much care as he built his
palace. And so. as matter of course.
the worshipper recognized the familiar
pres snce of death in life.
We have laid the sword up to rust.
We have made the seas as safe as
the cities, and the cities safe as the
homes OF CENTURY ago; We have
tanned the whole world and done
away with the unknown. We have
learned how to drive away the pest
lence. And men forget dsath. They
have ceased to sing about him. Re
steals on the old by degrees, but the
young, the strong, the enthusiastic
giva no thought to him. And still
the old truth abides.
Just now it comes homo with re-
sistless power to st. Louis. A struc-
ture that was the home of an or
ganization whose very name suggests
the surplus strength of splendid youth
is ragged ruin. And score or
more of men-chosen from among our
best and strongest-have found their
graves in it. They went to their beds
after a day OF rest, of quiet cheer and
good-f Alowship. They had no suspl>
cion that their work was done. They
awoke to a few moments of bewilde.-
ment and terror, and then-they went
out. Our eyes cannot follow them.
But already thsir work, their words,

WISHING.
Do YOU wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do,
Set watch upon your actions; keep
them always straight and true;
Rid your mind of selfish motives; let
your thoughts be clean and high.
You can make a little Eden of the
sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well suppose you make start
BY accommodating wisdom in the scrap
book of your heart
Do not waste one page on folly; live
to learn and learn to live.
II sou want to- give men knowledge
you must get it ere you give.
Do you wish the world we're happy?
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness as
you pass along the way;
For the pleasures of the many may
be Outlines traced to one,
AS the band that plants the acorns
shelters armies from the sun.

DEATH HARVEST
OF WINTER, =

|sfWe recently called attention to
the fact that the winter of 31913-l914
viii be remembered as a season dur
ing which many old and well-knoWn
AiexandriaaI were called upon topay
jthe debt of nature. Among the num-
Der were several octogenarians and
in one instance nonagenarian. A
number of residents who had reach
ed the three-score-and-ten mile post
were gathered to the fathers.
Captain Herbert Bryant, who had
been critically i'll for a long time,
kept away the grim destroyer until
an early hour this morning when
his eyes closed in death.
While those who have preceded
him during the past few months
were useful citizens and performed
we'll their respective parts in life,
there are some passages in the life
of Captain Bryant which are sug-
gestive and exemplify the practical
ideas which should animate all good
citizens. While the deceased held al
number of complimentary positions
in his time, he never aspired to one
of emolument although at times re-
quested to become a candidate for
Mayor He was Councilman,
member of the Police Board, School
Board, a church vestryman, one OF
the Managers of the Alexandria
Hospital, and filled other positions
in his time.
Captain Bryant was a member of
the Board Of Aldermen about twenty
years ago and served as chairman OF
the committee on streets. More Ia
Dor is expended in this position than
in others which fall to the lot of
Councilmen. A progressive move
ment, howeves about that time
brought about his defeat for re-e!ec-
ton. His successor soon resigned,
ard some of the captains friends en-
deavored to induce him to run again,
but he refused in these words: 81
think it is the duty of every good
citizen to take a complimentary po-i
siticn when it is brought to him.
