POETRY.
There It bo Death.
There la no death? Th* stars go down
To riae upon some fairer shore ;
And bright, in heaven's jewelled crown,
They aU shine fot evermore.
The grafitos rocks disorganise,
And feed the Ituncrv moss they bear?
The forest leaves drink dally life
From out the viewless air.

riates at their base, and dwindles in
the near approach to the regions of
snow, till its feeblest manifestation is
repressed by tire cold. The so-called
agony can ne#r be more formidable
than when the bráin is the last to go.
and the mind preserves to the end o
rational cogntzat.ee of tbe state of
the body.
Yet persons thus situated common
ly attest that there are few things it
ife less painful than the close. "11
I had strength enough to hold 0
pcn,"8aid William Hunter, " I would
write how easy and delightful it is to
die." " If this be dying," said the
niece of Newton, of Olney, "it ¡8 a
plea cant thing to die " the very ex
predion." adds her uncle, " which
another friend of mine made use of
ttn her deatlt-bpd a few years ago."
The same words have so often been
uttered under similar circumstances.
1 hat we could fill pages with m-
lances which are only vaHed by the
name of the speaker. " If this be
dving," said Lady Glenorcy, "it is
the easiest thing imaginable." "1
thought that dying had been more
difficult," taid Louie XVI. " 1 did
not sum>ose it was so sweet to die,"
suid Francis Saurez, tbe Spanish
theologian. An agreeable surprise
was the prevailing sentiment with
them all. Thoy expected the stream
to teriniuate in tho dash of the tor.
rent, and they found it was losing
itself in the gentlest currents. The¿
whole of tlte faculties seem some-
times concentrated on the placid en-
nt. The day Author Murplty
"died he kept repeating from Pope:
" f anghi halt by reaaon, half by mare dec ?,
To welcome death and calmly pana away."
Nor does i lie calm partake of the
sensitiveness of sickness. There was
a swell in the sea the day -Colling-
wood breathed his last upon the ele-
ment which had been the scene of
his glory. Captain Thomas ex*
pressed a fear that he was disturbed
by the tossing of the ship. " So.
Thomas," lie replied," I am now in a
state where nothing in this world
can disturb mo more. I am dying;
and am sure it must be consolatory
to you, and all who love me, to see
how comtortablj 1 am coming to my
end."—Book of Day .

The tulip mania, a hundred years ago,
and tbe land fevers a doxsn or more
