"The i^nths of glory l?nd but to the grave."
Ir. an hour when we least expect
when our joys are brightest, when oni
desires are warmest, when our anlici
pat ions aro most buoyant, death comci
to sit an unbidden guest at our feasts
comes to snatch away our loveliest an<
our noblest, to lay low all hopes o
human enjoyment, to sever all ties o
* human affection, to lay his icy ham
upon tho bounding pulse of life, t<
quench tho li:;ht of our hearths am
our homes, lo steep our souls in soi

mirth in the liabilaments of woe.?
