EAR friend, far off, my lost desire,
So far, so near, in woe and weal;

O, loved the most when most I feel
There is a lower and a higher;---

Known and unknown, human, divine.
Sweet human hand and lips and eye,
Dear heavenly friend that canst not die,
Mine, mine, forever, ever mine.

TENNYSON.

THE DEAD STILL LIVE IN THOSE LEFT

BEHIND.

OUT is he dead whose glorious mind

BUT

Lifts thine on high?

To live in hearts we leave behind

Is not to die.

HOSE we love truly never die,

Though year by year the sad memorial wreath, A ring and flowers, types of love and death, Are laid upon their graves,

From death the pure life saves,

And life all pure is love, and can reach

From heaven to earth, and nobler lessons teach

Than those by mortal read.

JOHN BOYLE O'Reilly.

REEN be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days;

None knew thee but to love thee,
None named thee but to praise.

Honor to those whose words and deeds

Have help'd us in our daily needs,

And by their overflow

Raised us from what is low.

Tributes.

HE memorial of virtue is immortal,

Because it is known with God and with man, When it is present mankind take example of it, And when it is gone they desire it.

It weareth a crown, and triumpheth forever; Having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards.

The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
Yea, blessed is the memory of the just.
Their bodies are buried in peace,

But their name liveth forevermore.

The people will tell of their wisdom,

And the congregation will show forth their praise. THE BOOK OF WISDOM, APOCRYPHA.

IN MEMORY OF J. T. F.

NTIL we meet again. That is the meaning
Of the familiar words that men repeat

At parting in the street.

Ah yes, till then! but when death intervening
Rends us asunder, with what ceaseless pain
We wait for the Again!

The friends who leave us do not feel the sorrow
Of parting as we feel it, who must stay

Lamenting day by day.
