William Colnmbas Caothea. Continued from Page One. south once more." Another time, describing a night on which a dream of death and the beyond caine to him, he expressed himself as follows: "It was a beautiful night?the weather was delightful, the moon was shining soltly over the land, a gentle breeze was blowing, and an it came into my south wind??w it brought with it the mingled ordor of cape jessa mine and bay blossoms. Every now and then a mockingbird, perched upon the top of a coneshaped spruce near by, would break forth in song?a fitting accompaniment to the music in my thoughts. But far in the southwest were occasionally heard the distant rumblings of thunder, giving a solemn, weird turn to my thoughts and emotions, just the night for one to dream of life and love: yes, and of death and a home beyond the stars, for these things areall akin-" Then he proceeds to tell of how, in a dream, he journeyed to a far country, alone, coming at last into a bleak and stony valley, the "Valley of the Shadow," through which runs the dark and gloomy river which he must cross, lie tries to turu hack, but something irresistible impels him on, and lie steps into the boat while a dreadful storm is raging, amid the flashing of lightning and the clashing ol thunder, continuing on his way. Presently he was passed through the storm, and in calm waters comes to a bank, whereon grow lovely flowers, while moving about are myriads of happy faced beings, some of whom he seems to have seen before After a while he is himself amoiu' these, unexpressibly happy; and yet he seems to miss something, he knows not what. Directly the voire oi one singing comes to him, and he kiu,ws it is she?the dear one lie had loved on earth, but to whom he had never told his h ve?the ore who was made for him, l e knew by his great love for her. and their congeniality of spirit; hut who, alas! wa-? no' made lor him, because of his uffheth 11?lis maimed and broken body. Hut now lie is strong and supple, and, as he hastens to her, lio feels that heaven is heaven indeed, because she is there, and because be I tween I hem the veil of silence is lifted, nevermore to intervene. Knowing Mr. Caul lien first only as a member of the House-1 hold, it w as al'ef wards my pleasure to met t ; n 1 know him i<?r sonally, and I counted nix friendship one oI the blessings of my' life. To have known him is to! have hern inspired by his high , courage and lolly ideal- to higher aspiration", and 1 hope to wort hi r aeon v; inent.
