Then I recalled the sight of the grave, and the bitter day in January, the soldiers who honoured a comiade's memory, and the mourners, rich and poor, the latter the beneficiaries of a physi cian who never spared himself in the cause of charity.

But how dreadful was the change -the grave was opeo, and I wept at the sight,. for, whether it were a mere vision or not, "a strange, an everlasting devam," there I saw the coffin, oh so long and polished as I had wonD- deind at it as a child.
