From out the thraldom of winter's death, bursts the new life of another spring; from the dopths of penitential tears, rises the church to a joyful ac claim of gladsome song and praise; from the torpor and lethargy of spirit ual death, the soul is born again into a life triumphant. ? shut In thfl winter s alabaster tomb.

"when she had ] pa' it seemed like the censing of exc o DlUSlc"; her presence argued 1 her i ire M;^re was no mistaking It. The dea we have In mind Is that Indefinable something that preposs 08868; that something which tells you at onco that there is a lady, using the term to represent refinement, culture, gentleness of mind and heart, and Bwootuess of spirit and temporaineut. *A lady: How many of the jtirls wiio walk oar streets realize tho fact that their "presonco" carries with it an Indefinable something which at once reveals tho nature behind 't, and also that moil and women know and tool this presence. There was once n good woman and wo how our heart to her memory ?who in writing to her daughter away at school said: "I would l!k? to know what you road: I want you to be such a ret)nod, cultured little lady, always'. a refined, cultured lady! Not tho loud-mouthed, course street walker, who knows more of slang and yellow back novels than of good man ners and gentleness. And what wore tho moans by which she was to be come "a refined, cultured little lady"? One way was tho reading of only the best of literature. Mow much of Tennyson. Scott. Dickens, Longfellow and Thackery does the average ttlrl of today know? And yet she can toll you in a twinkling her opinion of the "grand" hero in the "modern novel". Yes. Kood reading forms a mighty good basis for refinement. Hut considering more directly our theme, what does the poet mean by the "ceasing of exquisite music"? Real music never ceases, but lingers in the mind and heart, forever;: "music, when soft voices die. vibrates in the memory! odors, when violets sicken, live within the sense they quicken", as Shelley expresses it. Music never ceases in its effect on mind and heart; but. when the sound dies away into an echo, it is called "the ceasing", And so the poet meati.- : that when we no longer feel the ssveetuess ttnd beauty of tho gentle, lovely "presence", tho passing is "iike tho Ceasing of exquisite music": atut like music, the sweetness and beauty still linger in tho mind. It is a benediction to dwell, if but for a luomeht, in (he presence of a Indy?one who is rellned and cultured, and whose passing ?bems "like the ceasing of exquisite music". to the fund for the erection of a mon un..:-.: ::.
