IFlSTER- - HEAD TO FOOT CLOTHIERS. 956-- S AAIN S T. Brldseport, Conn. This longing for immortality? Or whence this secret dread and inward horror Of falling into naught? Why shrinks the soul rjacic on nerseu, ana startles at destruction t Tls the Divinity that stirs within us; Tls Heaven itself that points out an here- after. And intimates eternity to man. The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, uul inuu suujb uuunsD in immortal youtn, Unhurt amidst the war of elements. The wreck of matter, and the crash of worlds. We must pass by Wordsworth, who sang so sweetly in his "Ode to Im mortality," and by Browning who has nowhere concentrated his genius in one supreme utterance upon the theme of immortality, but who has richly scattered his hopes on number- less pages of his many. works. We pass them by that we may cross the seas, listen to the voices of two American bards, and pass back again for our final witnesB to the hope beyond. Bryant, tne poet or .nature and America's pride, saw, one day, the water-fow- l journeying through the trackless sky, 'lone wandering but not lost,' ana ne wrote: He who from zone to zone Guides through the boundless sky thy certain niimi In the Ions way that I must tread alone Will lead my steps aright." Longfellow, the favorite of the com mon people, who touches so tenderly the heart strings of mankind, leads the race to the grave and tells them there in words of hope and comfort, God's-acr- e Yes. that blessed name Imrjarts Oomfort to those, who in the grave have sown xne seea tnat tuey uaa garnerea in tneir ho&rts Their bread'of life, alas! no more their own Into its furrows shall we all be cast. In sure faith that we shall rise again At the great harvest, when the archangel's blast Shall winnow, like a fan, the chaff and grain. 'Then shall the rood stand in Immortal bloom. In the fair gardens of that second birth; And each bright blossom, mingle its perfume w ltn tnat or nowers, which never oioomea on eartn. With thy rude ploughshare. Death, turn up the sod. ' And spread the furrow for the seed we sow; This is the field and acre of our God, This is the place where human harvests grow." Again ACROSS THE ATLANTIC TO ENGLAND'S SHORES, to hear the final testimony of the world's foremost poet witness on this mighty theme; whose grief over the death of his friend Hallam gave to the world that grandest of all poems, "in Memoriam," through all the pages or wmcn burns the immortal light, in this poem Tennyson builds his hopes upon love, that love must continue and persist. It is the moral worth of love that inspires faith and keep the poet from ultimate despair. "If e'er when faith had fallen asleep, I heard a voice 'believe no more,' And heard an ever-breaki- shore That tumbled in the (godless deep. "A warmth within the breast would melt. The freezing reason's colder part. And like a man in wrath the heart Stood up and answered, 'I have felt.' " But Tennyson's supreme utterance on immortality is that famous and well known lyric of humanity, "Crossing the Bar." in this testimony Tenny son shows his peace with the universe. His hope has become a conviction, per sonal, vital and triumphant. So with perreet assurance tne singer steps into tne ship to sail for the celestial port but be leaves this song behind: "Sunset and evening Star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar. When I put out to sea, "But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam. When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. "Twilight and evening bell And after that the dark ! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark. "For though from out our bourne of time and place, The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar." FAIRFIELD COUNTY. MONROE.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-fou- r hours; a sediment or set- tling indicates an unhealthy condi- tion of the kid- neys; If it stains your linen it is evidence of kid- ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad- der are out of order. What to Do. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- - Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra- ordinary effect of Swamp-Ro- ot Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won derful cures of the most distressing cases. it you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.

I have seen what glories of climate of summer mornings and evenings; of midnight skyl I have enjoyed the benefits of an tnis com plex macninery or arts ana civilization and its results of comfort! But the Good Power can easily provide me millions more." Thus sneak the nhl- - losophers, their words like thefjsouth-er- n zephyrs and bearing the aroma of a billion of flowers and ten thous- and songs from the birds of paradise. It is interesting to note tne belief or some of the men of war, of generals by whose commands armies were swept into the beyond. We might think that in the heart of a great command- er the light of immortality has been extinguished entirely, but Moltke, the great German stategist, after a long life ot reflection and meditation and accustomed to look upon death, crave expression to the following faith: "It is lmnossioie lor tnis eartniy lire to ne the ultimate purpose of our being. We did not ask for this life;" it was given to us, thrust upon us. There must be for us a higher destiny than to begin anew, day after day, the course of this sad existence. IS THERE NEVER TO BE A SOLUTION of the problems in which we are in volved. problems which tne best men have Kiven their lives to solves? Why the thousand ties of love and friend- ship which unite us with the pres ent and the past, if tnere is no future, if death ends all?" And Moltke 's friend, Bismarck, declared that not a day would be care to live did he not believe in God and a better future. Napoleon held life cheap. A hun dred thousand men would he send into the jaws of death to foster his plans and carry out ms ambition. .Napole- on's was a stony heart. He could look unmoved upon his army death-strew- n in the snows of Russia. But once his stony heart was melted. It was when his friend Duroc the one man he seemed to love lay dying, and as he knelt at the bedside of his departing companion, he whispered in his ear: "There is another and a better world.' And when his friend had crossed the river, that we all must cross, Napoleon retired to bis tent and there, alone companioned with his thoughts, for no officer or soldier dared to intrude his presence upon the Emperor's sad and sacred sontuoe. Carlyle, the great hater of shams, and cant, and hypocricv. who could say thincs with such stinging sarcasm and satire, could also be tender and write witn tne gentlest toucn of emotion and faith. Turning from some of his passages in his French Be volution, to this passage on immortality, it is like passing into a new and fairer country, He says: "Eternity, which cannot be far off, is my one strong city. I look into it fixedly now and then. All ter rors about it seem to me superfluous. The universe is full of love and of in- exorable sternness and.veracity; and it remains forever true that God reigns. Patience, silence, hope." We are always fascinated by the words of orators. We love to linger long over the things they have said and written. Their diction is so beau- tiful and powerful, their flights of im- agination so captivating. But an or- ator not only says things in a great way, he also says great things, and some of the greatest orators of earth have delivered themselves of mighty utterances on this theme of immortal- ity. Cicero, the first man of Rome, who dared to stand against: Ctesar at the trial of Catiline in the Roman Senate, and who uttered at that time words of immortal hope, also gave speech to this famous passage: "There is, I know not how, in the minds of men a certain presage, as it were, of a future existence, and this takes the deepest root and is most discoverable in the greatest geniuses AND MOST EXALTED SOULS." Men do not indulge in trivial re- marks when they are dying. It is then that they wish to say their best and grandest. Thus when Daniel Webster lay upon his bed of death he sent these words of faith into the ages: "My general wish on earth," he said, "has been to do my Master's will. That there is a God all must acknowledge. I see him in all these wondrous works. Himself how wondrous! What would be the condition of any of us if we had not the hope of immortality? What ground is there to rest upon but the Gospel? There were scattered hopes of the immortality of the soul, especial- ly among the Jews. The Romans never reached it; the Greeks never re- ceived it. There were intimations of crepuscular twilight; but, but, but God, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, brought life and immortality to light." And when Ilufus Choate took ship for that port where he died, a friend said: "You will be here a year hence." "Sir,"'said the great lawyer and orator, "I shall be here a hundred years hence, and a thousand years hence." Let us now turn to the poets, those sweet singers of the ages, whose thoughts pass out to the ideal, but 1 trust do not desert the real. In poetry we have our most fruitful field, for all who sang for the world, sang about the future. We will go back a thousand years before the birth of Him whose words and resurrection are our sure foundation. At that time there lived in Greece a creator of epic verse. In it Homer set forth his idea of the future life, an idea crude, to be sure, but what we might expect from that distant day. The world of the dead to him was a shadowy and spectral existence. Injhis Odyssey he makes his hero take a jour- ney to the under world. There gather to meet him "Spirits from out of Erebus of those now dead and gone I brides and unwedded youths, and SUIT 'UDEIROMI OW00L twticularlyddaiy mi 9 OJlf S ClOTHmS, lain St. and Fairfield Ave., (Northwest corker,) Bridgeport, Conn.

For we know that, If our earthly bouse of thl- - tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of Uod, a house not made Willi hands, eternal In the heavens, To-da- y, I wish to bring you some messages from the great; what the earth's first souls have said about the other life. Their words are not proofs of Immortality; they are but intima- tions, evidences. Immortality cannot he nroved. but we mav all conclude, as did Lvman Beecher when he sat on the western veranda of life looking into his sunset, "I have Deen reviewing my evidences, and I conclude that l nave a riant to hone." On past Easter morns we have gone to Jesus, to the Bible, to science for assurances concerning: the future Trxiav we will turn to literature and cull from it a few precious gems, words of cheer and nope, we an wisn to know about the other shore whither we shall go and whither have gone those we have loved and lost. Tenny- son has expressed what each of us has heretofore thought: "Ah Christ, that it were best For one short hour to 8eo The souls we loved. that they might tell us What and where they be. And bo we turn to literature, to sam-- Sle the utterances of the wise, to into the highest wisdom that the race bas thus far attained, four nun dred rears before the birth of Him who "brought life and immortality to light," and in a day when the flame of the future life burned low, there lived a philosopher in the little land of Greece. Wiser was he than the men of his times, keener in vision, yea, the srreatest of Dhilosonhic minds. Easilv is Plato the first, the richest, the most resourceful 01 an wno nave sougnt to vindicate tne Daman belief in the fu ture,and in his "Republic" are written tnese woros: "And tnus ttiancon, tne taie nas neen saved and nas not per ished and may be our salvation if we are obedient to the word spoken: and we8hallpass safely over the river of Forgetfulness, and OUR SOUL WILL NOT BE DEFILED. Wherefore my counsel is that we h old fast to the heavenly way, and follow after justice and virtue always, con sidering that the soul is immortal and aoie to enaure every sort or good ana every sort of evil. Thus shall we live dear to one another and to the gods both while remaining here and when nike conquerors in tne games wno go around to gainer gifts, we receive our reward, and it shall be well with us both in this life and in the pilgrimage of a thousand years which we have been reciting." Germany, that land of learning, the fatherland of so many or tne earth 'i wisest, gave to the world Immanuel Kant, whose arguments for immortal ity carry such conviction and force, His were moral arguments. Duty was the sublime fact. In It Kant "found the divine origin of life and the pledge or immortality." uod commands us to be holy, just and honorable, and to attain unto such character, says this philosopher, God will give us immor- tal life as a field of exertion. And when Kant came near his end he spoke these words: "I do not fear to die. I assure you, as in the presence of God, that If on this very night,suddenly, the summons to death were to reach me I should bear it with calmness;! should raise my hands to Heaven and say, Blessed be God.' " Across the seas we come to gather a gem from the shores of the Colonies. We seek out him who wrested the llgbtnlngOfrom the skies; whose wis- dom madel celebrated Poor Richard's Almanac; whose learning made him renowned at the court of France, and we read this editapb written by him- self for his own tombstone: "The body of Benjamin Franklin, printer, (like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stript of its lettering and gilding) lies here, food for worms; yet the work itself shall not be lost, for it will appear once more in a new and more beautiful edition, corrected and amended by the Author." That peerless American mind, the .Sage of Concord, mused long and deep over this mighty theme. Emerson looked out upon the fields where the minute-me- n shed the early blood of the Revolution, and the slain occasioned the question injhis breast, "Whither?" All nature awakened in him thoughts about the future and he said: "Man is to live hereafter. That the world is for his education is the only sane solution of the enigma. The planting of a de- sire indicates that the gratification of that desire is in the constitution of the creature that feels it. The Crea- tor keeps His word with us all. What I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. Will you, with vast pains and care, educate your children to produce a masterpiece and then shoot them down?" And then as Emerson neared the hour of his dissolution, when every tick of the old clock was a summons home, the sage said: "On the borders of the grave the wise man looks forward with equal elasticity of mind and hope and why not, after millions of years on the CORN SYRUP the new table delicacy pleatet the palate and stisfies the stomach.

Odysseus, Homer's hero, de- scends into Hades, and there he meets the spirit of his mother. Says he, "She knew me immediately" and her anxious question was, "My child, how came you in this murky gloom, while still alive?" And then Homer makes bis hero say, "I yearned, though my mind hesitated, to clasp the spirit of my mother, even though dead. Three times the Impulse came; my heart urged me to clasp her. Three times out of my arms like a shadow or a dream she flitted, and the sharp pain about my head grew only more." Then Odysseus meets the spirits of Agamem- non, Achilles and Ajax with whom he held concourse. You see the Homeric idea of immortality is very crude. THE FUTURE LIFE to him is but a shadow of this, but we must remember that even his idea, crude as it is, was a mighty and won- derful concept for that day and gener- ation. Two thousand years we pass over and come into the sunny clime of Italy. There Dante, the exile from the bosom of Florence, strikes the great note of the Middle Ages. Homer made the future life a shadowy existence, out Dante in bis Divine Comedy makes this present living world the shadowy appearance of the eternal realities of another existence. The Divine Com- edy is strange and grotesque, but it testifies of the future life and declares that a soul must survive in the here- after, either in Hell, Purgatory or Par- adise, for the soul can never cease to be. When Dante, an exile still from his native city, felt the chill of death in the atmosphere of Ravenna, and the "faint echoes of the alien sea breath- ing through the Pineta" seemed to summons him home; "dying in au- tumn with everything that is lovely, ALVAYS I Signature of I NEW HAVEN COUNTY.

There is one society whose members can be instantly de- tected, for they wear its badge publicly. It is the society of well-sho- d women who wear "Dorothy Dodd" Shoes. The stylish woman is easily known by her shoes. When the fashion writers talk of "the Style of a 'Dorothy Dodd' Shoe" they mean it has the distinction which attaches to the leaders of society. A woman may be on the outer door mats of society, but if she wears stylish shoes her feet have entered the sacred por- tals at least. I need not claim that my shoes are stylish; every fashion writer in this country has claimed it for me. Sincerely yours DOROTHY DODD.

This longing for immortality?Or whence this secret dread and inward

horrorOf falling into naught? Why shrinks the soulrjacic on nerseu, ana startles at destruction tTls the Divinity that stirs within us;Tls Heaven itself that points out an here-

after.And intimates eternity to man.The stars shall fade away, the sun himselfGrow dim with age, and nature sink in years,uul inuu suujb uuunsD in immortal youtn,Unhurt amidst the war of elements.The wreck of matter, and the crash of

worlds.We must pass by Wordsworth, who

sang so sweetly in his "Ode to Immortality," and by Browning who hasnowhere concentrated his genius inone supreme utterance upon thetheme of immortality, but who hasrichly scattered his hopes on number-less pages of his many. works. We passthem by that we may cross the seas,listen to the voices of two Americanbards, and pass back again for our finalwitnesB to the hope beyond.

Bryant, tne poet or .nature andAmerica's pride, saw, one day, thewater-fow- l journeying through thetrackless sky, 'lone wandering but notlost,' ana ne wrote:

He who from zone to zoneGuides through the boundless sky thy certain

niimiIn the Ions way that I must tread aloneWill lead my steps aright."

Longfellow, the favorite of the common people, who touches so tenderlythe heart strings of mankind, leadsthe race to the grave and tells themthere in words of hope and comfort,

God's-acr- e Yes. that blessed name ImrjartsOomfort to those, who in the grave have sownxne seea tnat tuey uaa garnerea in tneir

And spread the furrow for the seed we sow;This is the field and acre of our God,This is the place where human harvests

AgainACROSS THE ATLANTIC TO ENGLAND'S

SHORES,to hear the final testimony of theworld's foremost poet witness on thismighty theme; whose grief over thedeath of his friend Hallam gave to theworld that grandest of all poems, "inMemoriam," through all the pages orwmcn burns the immortal light, inthis poem Tennyson builds his hopesupon love, that love must continue andpersist. It is the moral worth of lovethat inspires faith and keep the poetfrom ultimate despair.

"If e'er when faith had fallen asleep,I heard a voice 'believe no more,'And heard an ever-breaki- shoreThat tumbled in the (godless deep."A warmth within the breast would melt.The freezing reason's colder part.And like a man in wrath the heartStood up and answered, 'I have felt.' "

But Tennyson's supreme utterance onimmortality is that famous and wellknown lyric of humanity, "Crossingthe Bar." in this testimony Tennyson shows his peace with the universe.His hope has become a conviction, personal, vital and triumphant. So withperreet assurance tne singer steps intotne ship to sail for the celestial portbut be leaves this song behind:"Sunset and evening Star,

And one clear call for me!And may there be no moaning of the bar.

When I put out to sea,"But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam.When that which drew from out the boundless

deepTurns again home."Twilight and evening bell

And after that the dark !

And may there be no sadness of farewell,When I embark.

"For though from out our bourne of time andplace,The flood may bear me far,I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have crossed the bar."

We might thinkthat in the heart of a great command-er the light of immortality has beenextinguished entirely, but Moltke, thegreat German stategist, after a longlife ot reflection and meditation andaccustomed to look upon death, craveexpression to the following faith: "It islmnossioie lor tnis eartniy lire to nethe ultimate purpose of our being.

Whythe thousand ties of love and friend-ship which unite us with the present and the past, if tnereis no future, if death endsall?" And Moltke 's friend, Bismarck,declared that not a day would be careto live did he not believe in God and abetter future.

Napoleon held life cheap. A hundred thousand men would he send intothe jaws of death to foster his plansand carry out ms ambition. .Napole-on's was a stony heart. He could lookunmoved upon his army death-strew- n

in the snows of Russia. But once hisstony heart was melted. It was whenhis friend Duroc the one man heseemed to love lay dying, and as heknelt at the bedside of his departingcompanion, he whispered in his ear:"There is another and a better world.'And when his friend had crossed theriver, that we all must cross, Napoleonretired to bis tent and there, alonecompanioned with his thoughts, forno officer or soldier dared to intrudehis presence upon the Emperor's sadand sacred sontuoe.

Carlyle, the great hater of shams,and cant, and hypocricv. who could saythincs with such stinging sarcasm andsatire, could also be tender and writewitn tne gentlest toucn of emotionand faith. Turning from some of hispassages in his French Bevolution, tothis passage on immortality, it is likepassing into a new and fairer country,He says: "Eternity, which cannot befar off, is my one strong city. I lookinto it fixedly now and then. All terrors about it seem to me superfluous.The universe is full of love and of in-exorable sternness and.veracity; and itremains forever true that God reigns.Patience, silence, hope."

We are always fascinated by thewords of orators. We love to lingerlong over the things they have saidand written. Their diction is so beau-tiful and powerful, their flights of im-

agination so captivating. But an or-ator not only says things in a greatway, he also says great things, andsome of the greatest orators of earthhave delivered themselves of mightyutterances on this theme of immortal-ity.

Cicero, the first man of Rome, whodared to stand against: Ctesar at thetrial of Catiline in the Roman Senate,and who uttered at that time words ofimmortal hope, also gave speech tothis famous passage: "There is, Iknow not how, in the minds of men acertain presage, as it were, of a futureexistence, and this takes the deepestroot and is most discoverable in thegreatest geniuses

AND MOST EXALTED SOULS."

Men do not indulge in trivial re-

marks when they are dying. It is thenthat they wish to say their best andgrandest. Thus when Daniel Websterlay upon his bed of death he sent thesewords of faith into the ages: "Mygeneral wish on earth," he said, "hasbeen to do my Master's will. Thatthere is a God all must acknowledge.I see him in all these wondrous works.Himself how wondrous! What wouldbe the condition of any of us if we hadnot the hope of immortality? Whatground is there to rest upon but theGospel? There were scattered hopesof the immortality of the soul, especial-ly among the Jews. The Romansnever reached it; the Greeks never re-ceived it. There were intimations ofcrepuscular twilight; but, but, butGod, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ,brought life and immortality to light."And when Ilufus Choate took shipfor that port where he died, a friendsaid: "You will be here a year hence.""Sir,"'said the great lawyer and orator,"I shall be here a hundred years hence,and a thousand years hence."

Let us now turn to the poets, thosesweet singers of the ages, whosethoughts pass out to the ideal, but 1trust do not desert the real. In poetrywe have our most fruitful field, for allwho sang for the world, sang about thefuture. We will go back a thousandyears before the birth of Him whosewords and resurrection are our surefoundation. At that time there livedin Greece a creator of epic verse. Init Homer set forth his idea of thefuture life, an idea crude, to be sure,but what we might expect from thatdistant day.

The world of the dead to him was ashadowy and spectral existence. InjhisOdyssey he makes his hero take a jour-ney to the under world. There gatherto meet him "Spirits from out ofErebus of those now dead and gone

THE HOME CIRCLE.WHAT QREAT MEN HAVE SAID OF

IMMORTALITY.

A SERMON BT REV G. H. JOHNSON,PASTOR OF THE' CONGREGATIONALCHURCH, MONROE.

II Cor 5: 1. For we know that, If our earthlybouse of thl- - tabernacle were dissolved, wehave a building of Uod, a house not made Willihands, eternal In the heavens,

To-da- y, I wish to bring you somemessages from the great; what theearth's first souls have said about theother life. Their words are not proofsof Immortality; they are but intima-tions, evidences. Immortality cannothe nroved. but we mav all conclude, asdid Lvman Beecher when he sat on thewestern veranda of life looking intohis sunset, "I have Deen reviewing myevidences, and I conclude that l navea riant to hone."

On past Easter morns we have goneto Jesus, to the Bible, to science forassurances concerning: the futureTrxiav we will turn to literature andcull from it a few precious gems, wordsof cheer and nope, we an wisn toknow about the other shore whitherwe shall go and whither have gonethose we have loved and lost. Tenny-son has expressed what each of us hasheretofore thought:

"Ah Christ, that it were bestFor one short hour to 8eoThe souls we loved. that they might tell usWhat and where they be.

And bo we turn to literature, to sam--

Sle the utterances of the wise, tointo the highest wisdom that the

race bas thus far attained, four nundred rears before the birth of Himwho "brought life and immortality tolight," and in a day when the flame ofthe future life burned low, there liveda philosopher in the little land ofGreece. Wiser was he than the menof his times, keener in vision, yea, thesrreatest of Dhilosonhic minds. Easilvis Plato the first, the richest, the mostresourceful 01 an wno nave sougnt tovindicate tne Daman belief in the future,and in his "Republic" are writtentnese woros: "And tnus ttiancon, tnetaie nas neen saved and nas not perished and may be our salvation if weare obedient to the word spoken: andwe8hallpass safely over the river ofForgetfulness, and

OUR SOUL WILL NOT BE DEFILED.Wherefore my counsel is that we h oldfast to the heavenly way, and followafter justice and virtue always, considering that the soul is immortal andaoie to enaure every sort or good anaevery sort of evil. Thus shall we livedear to one another and to the godsboth while remaining here and when

nike conquerors in tne games wno goaround to gainer gifts, we receive ourreward, and it shall be well with usboth in this life and in the pilgrimageof a thousand years which we havebeen reciting."

Germany, that land of learning, thefatherland of so many or tne earth 'i

wisest, gave to the world ImmanuelKant, whose arguments for immortality carry such conviction and force,His were moral arguments. Duty wasthe sublime fact. In It Kant "foundthe divine origin of life and the pledgeor immortality." uod commands usto be holy, just and honorable, and toattain unto such character, says thisphilosopher, God will give us immor-tal life as a field of exertion. Andwhen Kant came near his end he spokethese words: "I do not fear to die. Iassure you, as in the presence of God,that If on this very night,suddenly, thesummons to death were to reach meI should bear it with calmness;! shouldraise my hands to Heaven and say,Blessed be God.' "

Across the seas we come to gather agem from the shores of the Colonies.We seek out him who wrested thellgbtnlngOfrom the skies; whose wis-dom madel celebrated Poor Richard'sAlmanac; whose learning made himrenowned at the court of France, andwe read this editapb written by him-self for his own tombstone: "The bodyof Benjamin Franklin, printer, (likethe cover of an old book, its contentstorn out and stript of its lettering andgilding) lies here, food for worms; yetthe work itself shall not be lost, for itwill appear once more in a new andmore beautiful edition, corrected andamended by the Author."

That peerless American mind, the.Sage of Concord, mused long and deepover this mighty theme. Emersonlooked out upon the fields where theminute-me- n shed the early blood of theRevolution, and the slain occasionedthe question injhis breast, "Whither?"All nature awakened in him thoughtsabout the future and he said: "Man isto live hereafter. That the world is forhis education is the only sane solutionof the enigma. The planting of a de-sire indicates that the gratification ofthat desire is in the constitution ofthe creature that feels it. The Crea-tor keeps His word with us all. WhatI have seen teaches me to trust theCreator for all I have not seen. Willyou, with vast pains and care, educateyour children to produce a masterpieceand then shoot them down?" Andthen as Emerson neared the hour ofhis dissolution, when every tick of theold clock was a summons home, thesage said: "On the borders of the gravethe wise man looks forward with equalelasticity of mind and hope and whynot, after millions of years on the

worn old men, delicate maidens withhearts but new to sorrow, and manypierced with brazen spears, men slainin : fight, wearing their blood-staine- d

armor." Odysseus, Homer's hero, de-scends into Hades, and there he meetsthe spirit of his mother. Says he,"She knew me immediately" and heranxious question was, "My child, howcame you in this murky gloom, whilestill alive?" And then Homer makesbis hero say, "I yearned, though mymind hesitated, to clasp the spirit ofmy mother, even though dead. Threetimes the Impulse came; my hearturged me to clasp her. Three timesout of my arms like a shadow or adream she flitted, and the sharp painabout my head grew only more." ThenOdysseus meets the spirits of Agamem-non, Achilles and Ajax with whom heheld concourse. You see the Homericidea of immortality is very crude.

THE FUTURE LIFE

to him is but a shadow of this, but wemust remember that even his idea,crude as it is, was a mighty and won-derful concept for that day and gener-ation.

Two thousand years we pass overand come into the sunny clime of Italy.There Dante, the exile from the bosomof Florence, strikes the great note ofthe Middle Ages. Homer made thefuture life a shadowy existence, outDante in bis Divine Comedy makesthis present living world the shadowyappearance of the eternal realities ofanother existence. The Divine Com-edy is strange and grotesque, but ittestifies of the future life and declaresthat a soul must survive in the here-after, either in Hell, Purgatory or Par-adise, for the soul can never cease tobe. When Dante, an exile still fromhis native city, felt the chill of deathin the atmosphere of Ravenna, and the"faint echoes of the alien sea breath-ing through the Pineta" seemed tosummons him home; "dying in au-tumn with everything that is lovely,

IT OH. IA.Seart the A The Kind You Haw Always BeufH

Over The Door-Mat- s.

There is one society whose members can be instantly de-

tected, for they wear its badge publicly. It is the societyof well-sho- d women who wear "Dorothy Dodd" Shoes.The stylish woman is easily known by her shoes. Whenthe fashion writers talk of "the Style of a 'Dorothy Dodd'Shoe" they mean it has the distinction which attaches tothe leaders of society.A woman may be on the outer door mats of society, but ifshe wears stylish shoes her feet have entered the sacred por-tals at least. I need not claim that my shoes are stylish;every fashion writer in this country has claimed it for me.

Sincerely yours DOROTHY DODD.
