If one could understand , The things that are close at hand, The How and the Why, He never need die t The flowers that bloom, With their hidden perfume, .

And all make reply : ' Oh man, you lifcd not die !' But there cometh— ah, from where? This voice of despair ! ' The order of Nature Doth this way tend— Whatever was begun Will surely have an end.' Richard Henry Stoddard, in the Cosmopolitan,'
