THERE IS NO DEATH,
BY J. L. McCREERY
[This, poeta has been the subject of con?
siderable controversy. It was written lats iu
the fall of 1862, and the next spring wu? sent
Jo Arthur's Home Magazine, Philadelphia,
appearing therein iu the number for July,
^S63. One E. Bulmcr, of Illinois, copied it,
signed his own name "to it, and seut (as his
Own) to the Farmer's Advocate, Chicago.
The editor of some Wisconsin paper (whose
. name I have forgotten, if ever I knew) clip?
ped it from tne Farmer's Ach?cate for his own
columns: but supposing there was a misprint
in the signature, changed the'm' therein to
*w,' and- thus the name of 'Bulwer' became
attached to the poem. An immense acces?
sion of popularity Immediately followed.
Copies of papers containing it-credited to
Bulwer.-have been sent me from nearly every
i State in the Union, and irom Eogland, Scot?
land, and Ireland ;. it is to be found in ortho?
dox and spiritual hymn and song books, iu
. at least one school reader in wide use, and in
a score of bound volumes and selections; it
bas been quoted from in speeches in the Leg?
islature of several States, and several times in
the Congress of the United Suites. On thc
la3t of January, 1880, ? had the pleasure of
Bitting in the Stranger's Gallery of the House
of Representatives} in Washington, D. C.,
and bearing the Hon. Mr. CoflVotb, member
of Congress from Pennsylvania, in his oration
on the death of Hon. Rush Clark, member of
Congress from Iowa, quote a portion of this
poem, which thus became embalmed (credited
to Bulwer, as asnal,) In the Congressional Re*
cord (see 46th Cong., 2d Sess., Part I, p.
638.) Every reader can decide for himself
whether this wide-spread popularity has its
basis in the merits of the poem or in thc cele?
brity of its supposed au thor.]
There is no death ! the stars go down
To rise upon some other shore,
A nd bright in heaven's jewelled crown
They shine forevermore
There ts no death I the forest leaves
Convert to life the viewless air ;
The rocks disorganise to feed
The bnngry moss they bear.
There is no death ! the dost we tread
Shall change, beneath the summer showers,
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
?Or rambow-?uted flowers.
There is no death ! the leaves may fall,
The Bowers may fade and pass away
They only wait, through wintry hours,
The wann, sweet breath of May.
There is no death I the choicest gifts
That heaven bath kindly lent to earth
A re ever first to seek again
The country of their birth ;
And all things that for growth or joy
Are worthy of our love or care,
Whose loss bas left ns desolat
Are safely garnered there.
Though life becomes a desert waste,
We know its fairest, sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into paradise,
Adora immortal bowers
The voice of birdlike melody,
That we have missed and mourned so long,
Kow mingles with the angel choir
In everlasting song
The is no death ! although we grieve
When beautiful, familiar forms
Thal we lia vc learned to love are torn
From our embracing arms,
Although with bowed and breaking heart,
With sable garb and silent tread,
We bear their senseless dost to rest,
And say. that they are *dead?'
They are not dead f they have but passed
Beyond the mists that bliud ue herc,
loto the new and larger life
Of that serener sphere.
They have but dropped their robe of clay
To pat their shining raiment on;
They have not wandet ed far away,
They are not 'lost,' nor 'gone.'
Though disenthralled and glorified,
They still are here and love us yet ;
The dear ones they hare left behind
They never can forget.
And sometimes, when our hearts grow faint
Amid temptations fierce and deep,
Or when the wildly raging waves
Or grief or passion sweep.
We feel upon our fevered brow
Their gentle touch, their breath of balm,
Their arms enfold us, and our hearts
Grow comforted and calm.
And ever near ns, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread
For all the boundless u ni vt rsc
Is life: there are no dead !
She Could Trust Him.
A lady who was anxious to scud
two little girls down to Eldcron, thc
other day, brought them to Pier No.
8, ami asked tTue of tito officers of thc j ?
-boat if it connected with thc 2 30 j j
train at Sandy Hook for Lon?: Branch ? j
She waa answered itt the affirmative, j
bat being uneasy about thc safe con- j j
duct of her little charges, whom site ? j
explained she was not to accompany,
she asked :
"Are yow quite 6ure ?"
A short, stout, ruddy-faced man,
who was standing near by, turned at
this and answered for the boat's offi?
cer:
"Yes, madam/' he said, "this is
the boat . "
She looked np at the speaker, a
stranger, and was about to thank him,
when he added, "I am going to thc
end of the route, and 1 will see that
the children are safe.
The lady looked up at him so
searchingly, and possibly so suspi?
ciously, that he flushed up for a mo
merit ami said, I'll take good
care of them if you'll trust them to
mc. I am General Grant."
"So you are !" exclaimed the lady,
as she recognized thc face which
painting and photography have made
so familiar for the last twenty years.
See gladly placed the girls in such
distinguished care, and was equally
grateful and amused to sec thc Gen?
eral and his little charges in conver?
sation on the deck of the boat as it
moved off.-N. Y. Tribune.
A Sound Business Principio.
An exchange truthfully puts thc
matter thus:-"It is an experience of
publishers that too many people arc
apt to think it matters but little
whether thc newspaper bill is paid
promptly or not, that it ia a small
sum and is of but little consequence.
This is not because subscribers arc
unwilling to pay, but because they
are negligent. Each one imagines
because his year's indebtedness
amounts to so small a sum, thc pub?
lishers car.uot be much in want of it,
without for a moment thinking that
thc income of a newspaper is made of
just each small amounts, and that the
aggregate of all subscriptions is by
no means an inconsiderable sum of
money."

Rev. Dr. John A. Broadus, whilst
attempting to preach in New York last
Sunday, fainted and had to be taken to

A Brave kittle Daughter.
There is ? very pretty story by Miss
Strickland, in lier "Queens of En
gland,*' of a little girl who sated her
father's life.
lt was in the time of Queen Anne,
and Lord Preston, ike father of the
child, was condemned to death for
conspiring to bring back the exiled
King James to the throne. Her name
was Lady Catherine Graham, ami she
was only nine years uld. The poor
child was, during the trial of ker
father, left itt the Queen's apartments,
in Windsor Castle. The day after
the condemnation of Lord Preston,
the Queen found little Lady Cather?
ine iii St. George's gallery, gazing
earnestly on the whole length picture
of James II., which still remains
there. Struck with the mournful
expression on the young girl's face,
Anne asked her hastily what she saw
in that picture which made her look
on it so particularly.
"I was thinking," said Ike inno?
cent child, "how hard it is that my
father must die for loving yours."
The Queen, pricked in conscience
by this artless reply, immediately sat
down and signed the pardon of .Lord
Preston.-Selected.
Some Queer Ants.
"What would you think to sec an
ant carrying a parasol ?" said Uncle
Fred.
"Ok, uncle !" cried Joknny and
Puss at Ike Barrie time.
"You know an ant could not carry
a parasol," added Puss.
Their uncle had just come honie
from a trip to ike West Indies and
South America. He had a great
many wonderful stories to tell them
about the queer sights he had seen
and the strange places wkcrc ke kad
been. But tkey thought he must be
joking with them now, for they could
not believe that au ant could do such
a thing.
"Well said Uncle Fred, "their
parasols were not made of silk
stretched over a wire frame. They
were only pieces of leaves from trees
and the ants held them in their mouths
in suck a way that tkey covered tkeir
bodies entirely. Yon could not see
ike ants at all, so ike leaves looked
as if tkey were marcking along of
their own accord. Tke first time I
saw any was in tke West Judies.
One day, wken I was riding willi a
friend out to his plantation, a great
swarm of these ants crossed our road.
We watched tkem a long time. It
was a queer sigkt, 1 assure you.
Tkey did not travel very fast. There
must have been thousands and thous?
ands of them, for we could not see
cither end of the column."
"Where were they going I won?
der," said Johnny.
"They were carrying thc leaves to
Iheir nests. They do not eat tke
leaves, but tkey are very fond of a
fungus which grows on them after
they have been a little while in their
xv derground nests. Thc ants are
very destructive, and do a great deal
of damage. Sometimes tkey will cut
every leaf off a tree "
?.Don't we have any herc ?" asked
Puss, who was much interested, and
wished she could see some.
"No," said Uncle Fred, "Wc have
some curious ants, but noue like
those I have been telling you about.

Mosquitoes Under the Mi?
croscope.
A gentleman has examined Mr.
Mosquito under a microscope and his
jescription is, to say the least, start?
ling. It appears that in thc "bill"
sf thc little beast alone there are no
fewer than live distinct surgical in?
struments. These are described as a \
lance, two meat-saws, a suction pump, j
surd a small Corliss steam engine, lt I
appears that when a "skeeter" settles I
iown to his v ork upon a nice tender
portion of thc human frame thc lance ?
is pushed into the flesh, thc two saws, !
placed back to back, begin to work j
np and down to enlarge tko kolo, then j
ike pump is inserted and ike vic- j
[?m's blood is siphoned up to the res- j
?rvoirs carried behind, and finally, 1
to complete thc cruelty of the I
jCrformance, thc wretch drops
I quantity of poison into the wound i
lo keep it irritated. Then the dimin- j
itive fiend Likes a fly around just lo j
1 igest your gore, and makes tracks j
for a fresh victim, or if the first one j
tas been of uuusally good quality he
.eturns to tho same happy hunting
jroutid. The mosquito's marvellous
?nergy, combined with his portable
>perating chest, make him at once a
terror and a pest. Our English skin
jrazcis are doves in comparison with
.kern.-London Sportsman.
The dwarf trees of China are very
curious examples of what may be done

tendency to strike downwards are kept

ibis method, healthy symmetrical oaks,
;bcsnuts, pines and cedars arc produced

Disease is an e fleet, not a cause. Its origin
is within ; its manifestations without, ileiice,
to cure the the disease the cause must be re?
moved, and in no other way can a cure ever
be effected. WARNER'S SAFE KIDNEY
AND LIVER CURE is established on just
this principle. It realizes that
95 . Per Cent.
j of all diseases arise from deranged kidneys
and liver, and it strikes at once at thc root of
the difficulty. The elements of which it is
composed act directly upon these great organs,
both as a food and restorer, and, by placing
them in a healthy condition, drive disease
and pain from the system.
For the innumerable troubles caused by un?
healthy Kidneys, Liver and Urinary Organs;
for the disttessing Disorders of Women ; for
Malaria, and for physical derangements gen?
erally, this great remedy has no equal. Re
ware of imposters, imitations and concoctions
said to be just as good.
