dead; tragedy dark as war and ruth
less as pestilence to those who knew
him and his. The grim reaper has
opened the new year with the bier
and pail; the echo of happy greetings
ends in farewells to the dying. From
cradle to the grave, in his own con-
duct and ways, his life was blameless
and without stain; he deserved the

crowned with splendid old age. Loved
BY everybody; out from a lovable
home, he had gone to build one for
himself He was capable, companion
able. industrious and deserving. In
his fseart were the great expectations
of youth, SO soon to be blighted.
Why death should be so enamored
and invidious as to seek such an one
midnight happiness, stifle life and
daze grief, when SO many heads stood
whitened in the field, ready for the
sickle of the insatiate harvester, who
could have been taken without tears
and whose eyes would have gently
closed with one last, lingering kiss of
goodbye, c6nfounds the wisest. In the
rounds OF our little philosophy, it is
tunansWerable, and the comfort and
solace at the open grave must be, in
the faith of recompense, somehow
and somewhere, over our hills, beyond
our seas, yelled by our misty horizon.
