By Ada D. Wellman

"Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption."

"AND HE DIED."

"DEAD!" Such is the news that the press tells, to-day, of a person But yesterday deemed the most honored and happy of men; One who'd attained the fulfilment of highest ambitions, His life a success, and new prospects still beckoning—then; Now—dead? Ah! the loftiest heights of our poor aspirations For influence, luxury, learning, for power or fame, But lead to the low-lying valley to which we all hasten, Where highest and humblest, all stations and ranks, are the same.
Ada D. Wellman.
