1 wee Ibioklng of the aoddeu death of

Then I ruminated about that won
derful woman. Huw ahe was the Diet
to write story books for tbe children
nod hymas fur tbe church and how her
life was spent In tbe schoolroom amuog
the children that ahe loved. And Uien
I recalled that beautiful hymn that she
wrote:
‘‘How blest the righteous when he dies.
When sinks tbe weary tool to rest,
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
IIow gently heaves the expiring
breast.
And then 1 thought of Uo words M
Balaam, upon which that hymn was
founded. "Ob ! may I die the death of
of tbe righteous and may my last
end be like Bis.” And this re
minded me of Uiuee other words of Ba
laam: "What oath Qod wrought?'
That was the Drat message cent over a

that Jamas K. Polk had been notalna
