Our Turn Must Come.

Generation after generation, says A fine writer, have felt ha We - now ffteV >n»<l their lives were active as our ojjpi. passed like vapor, while Nature wore the same aspect of beauty as when her Creator commanded her to be. Tluu heavens shall be as bright over our graves as they now are around our path. Yet a little while, and all will have iiapponed. The throbbing heart will be stillpd and shall be at rest. Our funeral will find its way, and prayers will lie said, and then we shall bfl left alone in silence and darkness for the worms. And it may be a-short time we shall be sjioken of, but the things of life will creep in, and our names will soon be forgotten. Days will continue to move on, ana song and laughter will be heard in the room in which we died; and the eye which mourned forms will be dried and glisten again with joy, and even rar children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our names.
