turn ones thoughts to the words of
Bryant in "Hanatopsis."
$50 live, that when they summons
comes
To join the innumerable caravan
Where each shall take his chamber
In the silent halls of Death;
Thou go not like the quarry slave.
At night, scourged to his dungeon.
But sustained and soothed by an un-
faltering trust,
Approach thy grave like one
Who wraps the draperies of his
couch about him,
And lies down to pleasant dreams"
