DOES DRA TI! END A LI 7
'les, death ends all the puny fends of man
The earthly fevers and the strife for gold,
Wh:ch mako life seem as somo hl !f-finished
plnn,
And 190k so little when the tale is told.
Men strive a whilo each circunstanco to
mould,
To meet some feeble 1aurpose of the heart,
Then nears the end-the blood grows thin
and cold,
Amd thou tlw soul, grown tired "of Time and
Art,
Half forms the wish that it might soon depart.
Death ends the platform quibbling of the weak
Who only caper to make nmanikiIId stare.
Seant is the meaning in the words they spenk -
More scant the ju(lgint in tie Cc(H tiny
share;
Bitt then, this land is free as (God's own air,
AnA men are freo t,. institute rare schools
'Po nieck mora!ity and Sneer a prayer- --
To pi-reh thIiII 'elves on sientitie sto(ils,
And mete out wisdom -or be simply fools.
Death enals all doubtiI;g, doubt belo(ngs to
earth --
We know so lit.'le of our own estate.
We grow impatient close upon our birth;
And few there he wl.o kmow 'tis well to wait.
Such sma!l sn e,cses ma':e tie heart elate,
That. we despise the wide, tilknown nylss
Of God's dcep wisdom, meaisurttless aini
great.
Our pigmv jullgmcot sees the world nriis,
And charges to His 111nn -death ends all this
But what of man's sublimer part, the soul ?
Ilath it. no longing Fearc,"ly satisiled ?
Does this life srem to it a mighty whole,
Or but, a wave en the eternal tide
A strein so narrow to a Fea NO wide ?
Al ! still to reason, when life's endlg nears,
One thought is paramount. o'er all beside
A wish to rise to more exalted spheres.
And progress still through everlasting year ..
Whence comes this wish? Did the eternal ono
Furnish oal thin:gs the spirit fairly kcnows
With tastos fulllc< d. and leavo the iul mulone?
Not so. Toward the sun the hen lot grows,
While from the sun the leallet's living tiows.
Thuis shall the soul, through death's dark
Ehadlows fail,
Find what it craves where'er its es=ence goei.
And through the tear-clouds that surror rl the
pall
Behold this legend-deaih does not end all.

110W ONE Wl'IFE MANAGEI.
BY DR. DIO LEWIS.
Deacon M., a rich, respicctable man of
ixty-six, married for his third wife,
Klatio C., a pretty sewing girl of twenty
two.
Some weeks before the wedding, Kat ie,
who had been my patient, came to risk
my advice about her marriage, though,
as shelo nfterWIrd confessed, she was il
reaty eugaged. .I frnnly advised1 agiainst
the match,spoke of tIh ii Deaoon's danught

Well-known p iiismn-ss. But Katie
was poor; the Deacon was rieb, had a
line house, ke"pt a carriage, ard was the
most consideral.ie person in the neigh
horhood. They were married. The
neighbors congratulafte"d her.
About two years after the wedding,
Katie asked ue, in a little note, to call,
amd mentioned that she wished to se("
me confideltially. She Wits not very
siek, but wanted to ask my advice about
Ir 1 roules.
With much sohhing she told me that
after being very kin:i for a few months,
the Deacon had j'ined his da:;hters
against her. I tri. (d to comfort her,
nrging that in every position in life there
were trials which we muist bear with
Christiran pat ienr'e.

Various articles of clothing appeared i
from time to time, and we were develolp

After a time Mrs. (1. whispered to a
gossiping neighbor. Everybody in town,
except the Deacon and his daughters
Anew the whole affair within twenty-four
hours. Soon the Deacon received an
anonynous letter, saying:
"You are disgraced. Your wife is
sewing to earn money to buy clothes.
The whole neighborhood is sneering at
you.
The Deacon went straight at his yeuna
wife.
"Where did you get the money to iy e
your now clothes ?"
"I earned it. by sewing !"
"'ho have you heen sewing for ?"
"I canlnot, tell vou I"
"But I nu.st know, and I will know I"
"If you ever find it out, it will be

"That is IV)ssible; but my mind is n

"But, my d. ar Katie, if you wanted

The world's people will never stop talk- r

"I am surprised," said Katie. "'(i t
can't have f'rgotten that I have asked
you _ in and again for money to iy 1
clothing, and you have not. given me a
dollar since we were married."
With mingled anger and shame, the
Deacon exclaimed:
"Then why won't. you set apart what

esort afford a basis for much comment

Advice To a Young Ian.
You will perceive, my boy, that every
time man undertakes to manufacture a
little Bible on his own account, lie makes
a mortifyiL'g failure of it. He is caught
it it, and in one-tenth the ;imo it took
him to conceive his fraud, in as many
leours as it took him months to prepare
t, he is exposed, and his hand made ad
lition to the Bible is swept away in the
ther rubbish of other counterfeiters.
You see, my son, thn Bible doesn't need
my of these 19th century proofs of its
ruth; it needs the word of no man to
>stamblish its genuineness; it has stood by
itself, 'an anvil that has worn out many
liammers" through century after cen
lury, unchanged and unchangeable.
Every time a man manufactures a new
verse or a new chapter, we know it is
not getine, we detect the counterfeit.
The Bible has no need of the support
ing prop of a fraudulent ark or a leather
Deuteronomy. There was a complete
Bible centuries before Shapira hap
1ened and there will ba the same Bible
ages after Shapira and his patent Dou
teronomy have together crumbled
into indistinguishable dust. The
Bible doesn't need our help, our testi
mony, our indorsemient. And if there
had1( never been discovered in all the
world, a bit of palrchlment, a piece of
pottery or a scratched stone the Bible
would be just as strong a-s it is to-day,
and men would b'elieve just, as firmly
and truRtfully in its truth. D)on't you
worry, my bioy, beeause Shapira's an
cient manuscript was written with Lon
don ink, and don't fret because the ark
in the glacier turns out to be put to.
gethier with Pittsbiurg nails. That all
the frauds on the Bible and its history
are so qpuickly andl easily detected,
should only convince you how impossi
ble it is for man to counterfeit the work
of (God. Wait until seine man fools us
with an ar-t ileial moon; and until some
phiilosophler stores away the sunlight, in
parlor lamps, beforo you believe that

There was a young man of Sing Sing,
says the Newv York Tii>unc, but per
haips it will be best to make a plain prose
statement of this matter, though the line
runs to metro, in writing of r.mance and
war. lie was jealous of his ife, from
wvhom lie had been separated after two
(lays of married life, andc when lie asked
her why -3eertain young man came to
see he(r so often, he found himself suid
dlenly slapped as to his mouth and kicked
as5 to his sh ins. TIhen he determined on
revenge. He did not shoot her or him,
nor did lie take poison himself. Hie lay
ini wait for the~ young man, angered him
b)y some remarks, and wvhen the young
man wickedly swor-e, the husband had
him arrested, and stoodl by ini fiendish
exultatioii while the ,Judge fInted him
two dollars for pirofanlity. This was a
safe and peaceabile venigence, and may
be comimenided to husbands of a fiery
