THE CHEERFUL TRAVELLER
NOBLE SERVICE.
They serve God well Who serve His creatines; when the , funeral bell Toll for the dead there’s nothing left of' all That decks the scutcheon and the velvet pall, Save this—the 'coronet is empty show The strength and loveliness are hid ! below, The snilting wealth to others hath accrued, And learning cheers not the grave’s solitude. What’s done is what remains. Ah! blessed They who leave completed tasks ol love to stay And answer mutely for them; be mg dead, Life was not purposeless, though life be fled. Lady ot La Garnvo.
Honour is like the eve, which cannot, suffer the least impurity without suffering; it is a precious stone, the price of which is lessened by. the least flaw.
