QUIKT END TO A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. In hisStith year, on last Sabbath, at his ijuiet home in Boston, Dr. Oli ver Wendell Holmes, professor, phy sician. essayist., and poet, calmly Invat bed his last. While he wits well known in so many spheres of activity. it is per haps principally as poet that he has endeared himself to the heart of Americans, and indeed to the En glish speaking world. His poetry palpitates with- life, sparkles with wit and wisdom and withal is with out any dross. His Autocrat of the Breakfast Ta ble is in his best style of prose com position and rclleets the inate urtless- ness of ti t rampiil life. Truly such lives are not lived in vain. At nl! times cheerful; ready with a helping hand to his brother who hath need. In- passed through life not as it meteor that da/./.les for a moment only to disappear and leave ti darkness that can he felt ; but nit her as a sun that rises to the per fect day then sinks gradually and • juicily to rest leaving behind a halo of light til once a promise of a bright er beyond and a relleetion to those who are still longing and waiting and t hsinking t b»d for t he light of such a life. ______ GOOD ROADS.
