DUM VIVMUS, VIVAMUS.
Do not keep the alabaster box
es of your love and tenderness
sealed up until your friends are
qead. till their lives with sweet
ness. Speak approving, cheering
words while their hearts can be
thrilled -and made happier by
them. 1 he kind things you mean
to say when they are gone, say
before they go. The flowers you
mean to send, for their coffins,
send to-' brighten and sweeten
their homes before they leave
them. I my friends have.alabas-
ter boxes laid away, full of fra
grant perfumes of sympathy and
affection, which they, intend to
break over my dead body, I
would rather they ; would bring
them out in my weary and troub
led hours, and open them that I
mav be refreshed and cheered by
them while I need them I would
rather have a'plajn coffin witfj a
1 .
flower, without a funeral and ea
logy, than a life without the
sweetness of love and sympathy.
Let us learn to annoint our friends
beforehand for their burial. Post-
mortem kindness does not cheer
the burdened spirit. Flowers oa
the coffin cast no fragrance back-
ward over the weary way.
