And there nro men who are mono mnninenl on the ubje-t of depnrture from thi life by death, nnd thn more they think of it the lew they nr prepared to o.

A thousand feet uiiileruroun't. t'V Hunt ot top'h, tolling In a miner' shaft, n ledge of ro -k may fall upon u, nnd we may dio a miner' death. Far out ut sea, falling from tho slippery rat line and broken on tho halliard-, we mny die n sailor' death. On mNslon of merey In hospital, amid broken bones mi l reeking leprosies nnd racing fever', wo may olo n phtlniiMiropist' death. Ou the field of battle, serving Hod nnd our country, slugs throiuli tho lienrt, the gun carriage mny roll over us, nnd we mny die a patriot' denth. Hut, nfter nil, there nro only two styles of departure the death of the righteous niid tho death of tho wkkol ml we all wnnt to die the former. (bid grant that when that hour cims yon mny bo nt home. You want the hand of yoiirkindred In your band. You want your children to surround you. You want tho light on your pillow from eyes that have long r-ft to I your love. You want your room still. V -. i do not want any curious strangers standing nrouinl watching you. You want y mr kin-Ire I from afar to hear your last prayer. I think thnt Is the wish of nil of us. Hut is that all? Cnn earthly friends hold us up when the billmvs of death come up to the girdle? fan human voice charm open heaveu'.s gate? Cnn human hand pilot us thr -nigh the tmrr w ofdenth Into heaven's harbor? Can any earth, ly friendship shield us from tho arr.ws of death and lu the hour when satnn shall pra"tlco upon us his infernal areberv? N", no. no, no! Alas, poor soul, if that Is all! H -tter die in tho wilderness fur from tr-o shadow and from fountain, al oie, vultures circling thriugli the air waiting for our body, unknown to men. and to hnve n burial, if only Christ could say through the solitude., "I will never leave thee, I will never forsake thee.'' From that pill -w of stone a la Id.-r would soar heavenward, angels coming and going, and a--ros th" solitude iiu-l the barrenness would come tun sweet notes f heavenly minstrelsy.
