Requiescant.

Three human lives were spent, and on one quiet day, ** A farewell briefly said, they passed from earth away. The first, to pleasure wed, his motto: “Self alone.” Men scarcely realized ho from their midst had gone. The second, glory seeking, full many deeds had wrought, By eager, surging crowds, his vacant place was sought. The third, in lowly service for the needy and the dense, .Had gladly spent his all, nor thought of recompense. He in the hearts of many is with tend'rest love enshrined, While waiting, lies unfilled the gap he left behind. 9 —Alice W. Kellogg, in N. Y Observer.
