SMI | Oh, Weep Ye Not for The Dead. Oh, weep ye not for the dead, For the soul whose pain is done, But weep, if ye will, instead For the new lives just begun. On, weep ye not for the dead Who tind from their pain release, Nor pity ye the olods That he in the earth at peace. The spirit of man aspires, As a moth to a candle flies — Until it sinks and tires, Until it falls and dies, For bitter and eruel the gods And life—"tia a pitiful dream, Far better the lot of the clods, Of the Lill or the clouds or the stream. The pitying stars might say: “We know-but we do not weep For the dead who have passed away, For the blessed dead that sleep. Yea, we in the heavens o'erhead See all of the tragic play. And we laugh, not weop, for the dead W lio pass from the earth away. Ob, bitter tbe stress and the strife, The pain and the bated breath; For a cruel mosher is life, But a tender mother is death, Then weep ye no more for the dead, Who find from their life release, Nor pity ye the clods That lie in the earth at peace. ET I TO RS. INDNESS. AN [HPRUDENT K 1t was a terrible affair. 1 remember seeing different reports of tho thrilling and tragic events in dif- ferent papers at the time, but none of them strictly correct, nouse in Havana; and his fair compan- fon, Miss Mary Dupensor, his lady love, his affianced in fact, was the daughter Havana house had large dealings, They were not only engaged lovers, but the wedding bad been fixed to come off on the third day from the eveniug on which I met them, Owing to the misfortune the young man had met with, and the fears for the future thus engendered, the wed- ding was postponed for an indefinite time, As 1 not only felt much curiosity about the result, but a deep, sympathe- tie interest in Philip Florenza himself, I made it a point to drop in on him whenever I chanced to be in the vicinity of his business office, : : He was a fine, generous, kind, noble fellow, every inch a gentleman; and, having taken a liking to each other from the start, we grew to be fairly in- timate, He was greatly depressed at first, and the indefinite postponment of the wed- ding was a heavy blow to him. “Ah, my friend,” he mors than once sighed, ‘it is bard to find that thfough one’s kindness of heart, peril, disaster and perhaps a horrid death should be sent to afflict the doer of good!” I could not but agree With him that the now no trace rolled on, and wound showed of virus, As 1 think the matter will be inter- esting to readers in every section of the facts as they originally presented them- selves to my knowledge, I was one evening sauntering up Chestnut street, in the city of Philadel- | phia, when I presently came up behind | a fine looking couple, a lady and ger- tleman, walking arm in arm. ually regained the cheerful spirits he Although the nuptials had been post- poned, his lady love still remained true to him, and with him looked hopefully forward to the day when rents should once more consent to a union which she would gladly have had At that moment they stopped; and the lady, pointing to a little dog curled | up against a store door and trembling | all over as if with fright, observed, Ina | tone of sweet, gentle sympathy: “Poor, lonely thing, it has evidently been hurt!” There was a whoie heart of kindness | in ber remark. But, oh, if she bad known, she would haye figd, shrieking with terror. if we only knew to the end, what | +] think the poor thing has been run over," said the gentleman, in a pitying tome, in reply to the lady. As he spoke he turned aside to the dog and stooped down to examine it I stopped to note the result, as also with the feeling interest of one who cared for all God's living creatures. The young gentleman—for he was a gentleman in every respect, dress, man- ners and gentleness—was in the act of | little dog, to see if either of its legs had | been broken, when it suddenly made a | sharp, vicious snap, and bit Lis thumb | almost to the bone, i He started up, the red blood flowing freely, and grasped the wounded mem- ber with his other hand. His handsome, but now pallid, face | had the distressed look of one who fear- ed the reach of that bite was far beyond his thumb, going down into a future of | worse than bedlam horrors, The little cur now bounded away, and instantly there arose the excited | ery “Mad dog,” and several persons set off in pursuit of the flying animal. | “Lord save us!” gasped the lady, | throwing her arms, with a wail of grief and borror, around the neck of her es- cort. **Are you bitten by a rabid dog, | my dading Philip? And it is all my fault—all my fault! Oh, sir,” her wild | eve and anguished face turning by chance full upon me, *‘do you think the | brute was mad?" i “There is no reason to think so, mad- am,” 1 instantly replied, with as much reassurance as 1 could throw into my | voice and manner. ‘*The dog was evi- dently scared, and acting in self-defense | —being a little vicious, too, perhaps; | but I saw no evidence of rabidpess, and he certainly did not froth at the | mouth,” i “Qh, thank you, sir—thank youl” | responded the lady, with what seemed | to be a feeling of great relief, The gentleman also thanked me, but | I noticed there remained a look of pain- ! ful apprehension upon his still pallid | face, { would not have had his wound upon my thumb for all the wealth of the city, lightly #8 I was disposed to treat it in | order to dispel the fears of himself and | his fair companion. “I must have the thumb corded, and the wound cauterized at once!” he said, s'Iliere is a fine drug-store across the | way, and also a doctor there of great | experience,” 1 suggested, *‘If* 1 may not be considered intrusive, I. will ac- company you, and see that the wound gets properly dressed,” Both the lady and gentleman bowed assent with thanks, and I'went with them and called the doctor to the case, fle corded the thumb at once, cau- terized thie wound and properly dressed it, making light of it as a matter that consummated mouths ago. One day, when I enterel the young Cuban’s place of business, he fairly and shook it with the fervid gladness of one meeting a dear friend after an ab- sence of years, “Give me joy,” he cried, ‘‘give me Evil has done its worst, and good free—gloriously n of the would!

And there —there——there comes the king fiend, with the head of a monster dog and the tall of a hissing serpent!’’ and with a series of unearthly shrieks, he went into another terrible paroxysin, The Vest physicians were sent for, and soon appeared upon the scene, and everything was done for the poor suf- ferer that human skill could suggest, But he could not be saved. Forty-eight hours of mote or less frightened agony closed his earthly career, I1is poor, maimed wife was not able to attend his funeral, and she never saw him again. She is living yet; Lut her beauty is gone, and her heart is in the grave of her beloved Philip.
