In nearby country churchyafd
there stands at the head of one OF its
graves a modest headstone with the
word Mother" carved upon it and as
usual the name and the dates OF birth
and death; and then follows the SIM
plest, the most touching, the most
pathetic, the most eloquent and to my
mind the most perfect epitaph Of ali
the countless efforts I have read, by
which affectionate sorrow has sought
to display itself upon the monuments
that mark the last earthly resting
places of the beloved dead. 1t simply
says: Everything about the house
seems so different since she has
gone l can never read those simple
words but that my eyes are dimmed
with tears. So natural So made. So
thildlike. SO human. So full of lone
" longing. so eloquent of love. So
filed with the bitter truth that life
is but a synonym for loss-if but in
deed one long parting,-one long
goodbye
Everything about the house is so
different since mother has gone II

thing about such a character, or its
benign influence, or its simple gran

worketh willingly with her hands.
She is like the merchants ship; sne

riseth also while it is yet night, and
giveth meat to her household, and

The foregoing was used by John

as his opinion that the warehouse

that the action OF the State Democra-

God of our destinies-the arbiters Of
our fate.
A temporary Inmate OF her home,
which was the old anteLbellum, colo

born, it was my privilege to be init
mately associated with Mrs. Summers

Loving and beloved. Who can come
into contact with such character
and not be the better for it?
That even her gong itself may be
a lesson as was her life, let me, for
that purpose only unless it be that
her many loving friends will be glad
to hear of any incident however tri-
vial attending her demise, recite this
sad but suggestive coincidence. Mrs.
Summers was at the evening meal
and appeared to be better than usual.
After the meal and seated in the
family circle around the fire ] had
Just written and read aloud the last
word of the following lines when she
complained of the sudden pain that
was to prove the beginning of the
end.
The Future.
Could it be given to man to know
The i'll that is to him 70 come,
Perchance within an hour or so,
'Twould all his faculties benumb;
His soul would tremble like dry grass
Tossed by the storm On withered
stem,
HOwe'er fearless, child would pass
Through every fibre, like requiem
Of dead delights and peace as we'll.
The sweetness Of each flower would
be stencil
All beauty loathsome and the earth Il
hell
Each vital fire of JOY and hope
'twould quench,
And all a charnel house of choas dire
Would his soul be, trampled by
fear
Into the very mirk and mire
Of sure misfortune near.
Thank God we're blind to what the
hours unborn may hold
And know not what before Us lies,
and that sweet hope deceives and
makes US bold,
Expecting ever earth to be as fair
as Paradise.
Thank God that when We do remem-
Der that, as true
AS that we live, sorrow will find
us out,
We can to Him who made and died to
save US too,
Turn trustful eyes; and put our
fears to rout;
knowing that He who loves us as
His own most dear,
Who tempereth to the lamb that's !
shorn the storm,
Will walk with US the vale through
shadows drear
Giving US grace to face our ills IN !
every form!
Even as the last word vas read the
peaceful hearthstone was the scene OF
trouble and distress, and again was
the truth about to be brought home
to us that in the midst Of life we are
in death. Would that we all were as
we'll prepared for that inevitable,

All, wondrously in love she made its

She fought-ah, God, how valiantly

Of self she thought not, nor of what
