What is life but constant sorrow ; Breaking in with floods of tears, While the joys that once were ours Vanish with the passing years? What is life but constant toiling For the goal ambition craves ! Wealth and honor, fame and glory, Light as foam on ocean waves? What is life but constant pining That our sorrows soon will be Changed from darkness into sunshine That will gush forth melody ? What is life but constant striving With the rich as well as poor ? One is grasping for his millions, The wolf stands at the other's door. What is life ? Just what we make it, Is what some of you will say; Then I'd seek its ioy and sunshine, Ere its beauty fades away. "BLAINE'S EULOSYr HONORS TO THE DEAD (JIARFIEIJD AT WASH INGTON. An Immense Concourse of People A9sem * ble In the Hall of the House of Rep resentatives to Hear a Funeral Oration from the Late Pres ident's Secretary of State. WASHINGTON, February 27.-The day here was wholly given up to the me morial service in honor of the late President Garfield. No visitors out side of those holding tickets of admis sion were allowed in the Nation's capi tol at any time while the departments after 11 o'clock put on a solemn ap pearance by closing for the day. At 10 o'clock the capitol doors were thrown open and before half an hour had passed the galleries of the house were filled to their utmost capacity. The majority of the spectators were ladies, who, out of respect for the oc casion, had for the most part discarded bright colors, and a sombre black was the preyailing hue of their costumes. There were no signs of mourning in the hall ; the full length portrait of the late President was hung just back of the chair of the presiding officers, being itself undraped. The pose of the fig ure was that which was frequently taken by President Garfield when in the act of delivering a speech. The head was in a strong light, relieved by a dark velvet curtain as a back ground. With one hand he grasps a roll of manuscript, while the other rests light ly on the back of a chair, whose green plush covering formed a marked con trast with the dark red background. The three front rows of desks in the chamber had been removed and their places occupied by a large number of chairs to accommodate the invited guests. The members of the house were early in attendance, all being ar rayed in black and a few appearing in full evening dress. In the lobby, back of the speaker's desk, the Marine band was stationed, and from 10 o'clock un til noon whiled away the tedium of the passing hours by bursts of solemn music. Among the distinguished guests first to arrive were George Ban croft, the historian, W. W. Corcoran, Cyrus W. Field and Admiral Worden, who took seats directly in front of the clerk's desk. Among the guests who at an early hour occupied seats upon the floor, were General Scbenck, Gov ernor Hoyt, of Pennsylvania ; Foster, of Ohio ; Hamilton, of Maryland, and Bigelow, of Connecticut ; Porter, of Indiana, and Adjutant General Har mine, of Connecticut. At 11:30 o'clock Generals Sherman, Sheridan, Hancock, Howard and and Admirals Am men, Rogers and Rodgers, entered at the north door of the chamber and were assigned to seats to the left of the speaker's desk, and a few moments later the members of the diplomatic corps, in full regalia, were ushered in, headed by the Hawaiian minister as dean of the corps. Their brilliant costumes only served to throw into stronger relief the dark attire of the members of congress, who sat imme diately behind them. The Supreme Court of the district, headed by Marshal Henry, were the next arrivals. Dr. Bliss was also in attendance. Mrs. Blaine occupied a front seat in the gal lery reserved for the friends of the President. At precisely 12 o'clock the house was called to order by Speaker Keifer and prayer offered by the chaplain of the house. The speaker then said—'This day has been dedicated by the action of the two houses of congress to services in commemoration of the life and death of James Abram Garfield, late President of the United States. This house is now assembled and ready to perform its part.' The resolutions setting apart to-day for the memorial services were then read by Clerk McPherson At 12:10 theak the language of controversy ; but the events referred to, however they may continue to be source of contention with others, have become, so far as Garfield is concern ed, as much a matter of history as his heroism at Cbickamauga or hi? illus trious service in the house. Detail is not needful, and personal antagonism shall not be rekindled by any word ut tered to-day. The motives of those opposing him are not to be here ad versely interpreted nor their course harshly characterized. But of the dead President this is to bo said, and said because his own speech is forever silenced and be can be no more heard except through the fidelity and the love of surviving friends : From tho beginning to the end of the controversy he so much deplored, the President was never for one moment actuated by any motive of gain to himself or of loss to others. Least of all men did he harbor revenge, rarely did he even show resentment, and malice was not in his nature. He was congenially employed only in the exchange of good offices and the doing of kindly deeds. There was not an hour, from the be ginning of the trouble till the fatal shot entered his body, when the president would not gladly, for the sake of re storing harmony, have retracted any step he had taken if such retracting had merely involved cousequences per sonal to himself The pride of con sistency, or any Fupposed sense of humiliation that might result from surrendering his position, had not a feather's weight with him. No man was ever less subject to such influences from within or from without. But after most anxious deliberation and the coolest survey of all the circumstances, he solemnly believed that the true pre rogatives of the executive were involv ed in the issue which had been raised, and that he would be unfaithful to his supreme obligation if he failed to main tain, in all their vigor, the constitution al rights and dignities of his great of fice. He believed this in all the con victions of conscience when in sound and vigorous health, and he believed it In his suffering and prostration in the last conscious thought which his wea ried mind bestowed on the transitory Btruggfes of life. More than this need not be said. Less than this could not be said. Justice to the dead, the highest obli gation that devolves upon the living, demonds the declaration that in ail the bearings of the subject, actual or possi ble, the president was content in his mind, justified in his conscience, im movable fn his conclusions. The religious element in Garfield's character was deep and earnest. In his early youth he espoused the faith of the Disciples, a sect of that great Baptist Communion, which in differ ent ecclesiastical establishments is so numerous and so influential throughout all parts of the United States. But the broadening tendency of his mind and his active spirit of inquiry were early apparent and carried him be yond the dogmas of sect and the re straints of association. In selecting a college in which to continue his educa tion he rejected Bethany; though pre sided over by Alexander Campbell, the greatest preacher of bis church. His reasons were characteristic; first, that Bethaoy leaned too heavily toward sla very; and, second, that being himself a Disciple and the son of Disciple par ents, he had little acquaintance with people of other beliefs and he thought it would make him more liberal, quot ing his own words, both in bis relig ious and general views to go into a new circle and be under new influences. The liberal tendency which he an ticipated aa the result of wider culture was fully realized. He was emanci pated from mere sectarian belief, and with eager interest pushed his investi gations in the direction of modern pro gressive thought. He followed with quickening step in the paths of explora tion and speculation so fearlessly trod en by Darwin, by Huxley, by Tyndall, and by other living scientists of tho radical and advanced type. His own church, binding its disciples by no for mulated creed, but accepting the Old and New Testaments as the word of God with unbiased liberty of private interpretation, favored, it it did not stimulate, the spirit of investigation. Its members profess with sincerity, and profess only to bo of one mind and one faith with those who immediately followed the Master, and who were first called Christians at Antioch. But however high Garfield reasoned of 'fixed fate, free will, fore-knowledge absolute,' be was never separated from the Church of the Disciples in his af fections and in his associations. For him it held the ark of the covenant. To him it was the gate of heaven. The world of religious belief is full of solecisms and contradictions. A philo sophic observer declares that men by the thousand will die in defense of a creed whoso doctrines they do not com prehend and whose teuets they habitu ally violate. It is equally true that men by the thousand will cling to church organizations with instinctive and undying fidelity when their belief in maturer years is radically different from that which inspired them as neophytes. But after this range of speculation' and this latitude of doubt, Gar Geld came back always with freshness and delight to the simpler instincts of relig ious faith, which, earliest implanted, longest survive. Not many weeks be fore his assassination, walking on the banks of the Potomac with a friend and conversing on those topics of per sonal religion concerning which noble natures have an unconquerable reserve, he said that he found the Lord's prayer and the simple petitions learned in in fancy infinitely restful to him, not mere ly in their stated repetition, but in their casual and frequent recall as he went about the daily duties of life. Certain texts of Scriptures had a very strong hold on his memory and his heart. He heard, while in Kdiuburg some years ago, an eminent Scotch preacher who prefaced his sermon with reading the eighth chapter of the Epis tle to the Romans, which book had been the subject of careful study with Gariield during all bis religious life. He was greatly impressed with the elocution of the preach«r and declared tbat it had imparted a new and deeper nit- Hll ins- to the majestic utterances of Saint Paul. He referred often in af ter years to that memorable service, and dwelt with exaltation of feeling upon the radiant promise and the as sured hopo with which tho great apos tle of the Gentiles was 'persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall hie able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.' The crowning characteristic of Gen eral Garfield's religious opinions, as in deed, of all opinions, was his liberality. In all things he had charity, Tolerance was of his nature. He respected in others the qualities which be possessed himself—sincerity of conviction and frankness of expression. With him the inquiry was not so much what a man believes, but does he believe it? The lines of his friendship and bis con fidence encircled men of every creed, and men of no creed, and to the end of his life, on his ever-lengthening list of friends, were to be found the names of a pious Catholic priest and of an hon est-minded and generous-hearted free thinker. On tho morning of Saturday, July 2d, the president was a contented and happy man —not in an ordinary degree, but joyfully, almost boyishly happy. On his way to the railroad station to which he drove slowly in conscious en joyment of the beautiful morning, with an unwonted sense of leisure and a keen anticipation of pleasure, bis talk was all in the grateful and gratulatorv vein. He felt that after four months of trial his administration was strong in its grasp of affairs, strong in popu lar favor and destined to grow strong er ; tbat grave difficulties confronting bim at his inauguration bad been safe ly passed ; that trouble lay behind bim and not before him ; tbat he was soon to meet tho wife whom he loved, now recovering from an illness which had but lately disquieted and at tinea al most unnerved him; tbat he was going to his alma mater to renew the most cherished associations of his young manhood, and to exchange greetings with those whose deepening interest had followed evory step of bis upward progress from the day ho entered bis college course until be had attained the loftiest elevation in the gift of bis countrymen. Surely if happiness can ever come from the honors or triumphs of this world, on tbat quiet July morning James A. Garfield may well have been a happy man. No foreboding of evil haunted him; no slightest premonition of danger clouded bis sky. His terri ble fate was upon him in an instant. One moment he stood erect, strong, confident in the years stretching peace fully out before bim. The next ho lay wounded, bleediug, helpless, doomed to weary weeks of torture, to silence aud the grave. Great in life he was surpassingly great in death. For no cause, in the very frenzy of wantonness and wicked ness, by the red hand of murder, he was thrust from the full tide of this world's interest, from its hopes, its aspirations, its victories, into the visible presence of death—and he did not quail. Not alone for the one short moment in which, stunned and dazed, he could give up life, hardlr aware of its relin quishments, but through days or dead ly languor, through weeks of agony, that was not less agony because silent ly borne, with clear sight and calm courage, be looked into bis open grave. What blight and ruin met his anguish ed eyes, whose lips may tell—what brilliant, broken plans, what baffled, high ambitions, what sundering of strong, warm, manhood's friendships, what bitter rendering of sweet house bold ties! Behind him a proud, ex pectant nation, a great host of sustain ing friends, a cherished and happy mother, wearing the full, rich honors of her early toil and tears; the wife of bis youth, whose whole life lay in bis; the little boys not yet emerged from childhood,s day of frolic; the young daughter; the sons just spring ing into closest companionship, claim ing every day and every day reward ing a father's love and care; and in bis heart the eager, rejoicing power to meet all demand. Before him, deso lattion and great darkness 1 And his soul was not shaken. His conutry men were thrilled with instant, pro found and universal sympathy. Mas tefui in his mortal weakness, he became the centre of a nation's lovo, enshrined in tho prayers of a world. But all the love and all the sympathy could not share with him his suffering. He trod the wine press alone. With unfailing tonderness he took leave of life. Above the demoniac hiss of the assassin's bul let he heard the voice of God. With simple resignation bo bowed to the Divine decree. As the end drew near, hisearly crav ing for the sea returned. The stately mansion of power had been to him the wearisome hospital of pain, aud he beg ged to be taken from its prison walls, from its oppressive, stifling air, from its homelessness and hopolessness. Gently, silently, tho love of a great people bore the pale sufferer to the longed-for healing of the sea, to live or to die, as God should will, within sound of its manifold voices. With wan, fevered face tenderly lifted to the cooling breeze, he looked out wistfully upon the ocean's changing wonders; on its far sails, whitening in the morning light; on its restless waves, rolling shoreward to break and die beneath the noonday sun; on the red clouds of evening, arching low to the horizon ; on the serene aud shining pathway of the stars. Let us think tbat his dying eyes read a mystic meaning which only the rapt and parting soul may know. Let us believe that in the si lence of the receding world be beard the great waves breaking on a further shore, and felt already upon bis wasted brow the breath of the eternal morn ing." The eulogy was concluded at 1.50, having just taken an hour and a balf in its delivery. As Mr. Blaine gave utterance to the last solemn words, the spectators broke into a storm of ADVERTISING BATES, One square, one insertion, 91; each subse quent insertion, 60 cents.
