THERE IS NO DEATH.
BY SIR z. BULwER LyTToN

There is no death! The stars 20 down
To rise upon some fairer shore:
And bright Is Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There Is no DEATH The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer
showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbOw-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death. The leaves may fall.
The flowers may fade and pass away:
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks berthe earth with silent tread:
he bears our best loved things away,
And then We call them dead"
He leaves our hearts ali s:esolate,
lie plucks our fairest, sweetest
flowers:
Transplanted into bliss, they. now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose Joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and
strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
And where he sees a smile too bright.
Our heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave US but to come again:
With JOY we welcome them-the same.
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirit tread:
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead.

Enthusiastic Greeting 10
Democratic Candidates

II the warmth of the welcome that
was extended to the candidates on the
Democratic State ticket Is a safe critic
rion to 90 by, there Is no doubt of
their election In November. From the
moment that they alighted from their
ears at Brandywine the glad hand of
Southern Maryland, and especially OF
st. Mary's, was continuously. extend
ed To them. To say that they created
a good impression does not half ex-
press it. From the Governor down
they look like sure winners, and they
are OF the type that deserves to win, -
not supernen-5ut plain American
citizens Of the kind that fully measure
up to the requirements of the Offices
for which the Democratic party has
nominated them.
They were met at Brandywine by n
delegation from st. Mary's in the new
railway auto bus, making a special
trip over the Washington, Brandy
wine and Point Lookout railroad
And say, that is some gas wagon
comfortable and easy riding, accom-
modating 81 passengers, heated and
lighted, that will make regular trips
over this locally owned railroad. on a
one-hour schedule between Brandy
wine and Mechanicsville.
Arriving at Mechanicsyille the party
composed of Albert C. Richie. Thomas
J. Heating. and L. Brooke Ice, State
candidates: Senator Cy Cummings.
of Montgomery County, and repreSen-
tatives of the Baltimore papers, were
most enthusiastically recei yed

large gathering of loyal supporters
and by the simple and yet effective
manner in which they presented their
claims, still further improved their al
ready excellent standing with the vo-
ters of the county. The writer i'm

sonal interview with each of them and
was greatly impressed with their abil-
ity and fitness, and especially with
their evident purpose and intention, II
elected 10 give the people of Maryland
the best administration they ever en-
joyed. In no sense of the word are

in the world to perpetuate the princi-
pies for which it stands.
