"IN 'THE HOUR OF DEATH." A Not on the Authorship of a Well Known Poem. The question Is often asked In news papers and magazines, "Who wrote the poem beginning 'In the hour of fleath, after this life's whim?" The answer Is given that nothing is known of the author. It is true this poem was published with only the ini tials of the writer in the University Magazine in 1879. But I hold the manuscript of the poena, and I have also Blackmore's letter that accompa nied it. Blackmore has been so long dead I do not feel that there can be any harm in giving his letter to the publiq. I subjoin an exact copy of it; also of bis poem. AGNES E. COOK. "Teddn., Jan. 5, 1879. "My Dear Sir Ilavlng lately been at the funeral of a most dear relation, I was there again (in a dream) last night and heard mourners sing the lines inclosed, which impressed me so that I was able to write them without change of n word this morning. I never beard or read them before to my knowledge. They do not look so well on paper as they sounded. But If you like to print them hero they are, only please do not print my name be yond initials or send me money for them. With all good wishes to Mrs. Cook and yourself, very truly yours, "R. D. BLACKMORE. "K. Cook Esqre LL. D." Domlnus lllumlnatlo mea. I. In tho hour of death, after this life's whim, When the heart beats low, and the eyes grow dim, And pain has exhausted every limb, The lover of the Lord Bhall trust In him. II. .When the will has forgotten the lifelong aim, And tho mind can only disgrace Us famo, And a man Is uncertain of his own name, The power of tho Lord shall nil this frame. . III. When tho last sigh Is heaved and the last tear shed, And the coffin is waiting besldo the bed, And the widow and child forsake tho dead, The angel of the Lord shall lift this head. IV. For even the purest dollght may pall; Tho power must fall, and the pride must fall, And the love of the dearest friends grow small, But tho glory of tho Lord Is all in all. It. D. B. in Momorlam M.

Binks had sent Mrs. Blnks on a visit to her mother, and ho was on the job with tho six-months-old baby. In tho night the baby woko and cried. Blnks looked at his watch-three-quarters of an hour till bottle time, lie said to himself: "Lot him yell. He's a healthy little Indian, and ho must bo disciplined." Theu Binks tried to sleep. But Blnks couldn't sleep. Every cry grew moro pathetic and abused and heartsick and discouraged. Each cry said moro and moro plainly: "I Lave no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy and uncomfortable and want somo ono to bo good to mo." But Blnks, tho stubborn nud stiff nocked, stuck it out, though each cry stabbed him clear through. Flually (maybo ho set it forward a bit who knows?) Blnks' watch an nounced tho nrrlval of bottle time. IIo went to tho icebox for tho food, heated it and took it to his now faintly sob bing infant son, But tho infant son could not take tho bottle. IIo choked ou tho first swal low, then put up his hands and re newed his wordless plea to the big man bo could seo dimly through bis nnrs. Then that father said, "Discipline be linmrod!" Mavbc. though, it wasn't "hanged" he said, but tho vowel sound la rlirhr. anyway. He took up that Imbv. and the baby Btuck to his daddy llko fly paper. Further attempts to lay him down were futile. He wauted no food but heart food, no milk but that of human kindness. So tho big man laid that baby beside him" on tho pil low; the baby put ono rose petal hand to his father's stubby cheek, gavo a long, quivering, satisfied sigh and slept for six unbroken hours. As Blnks lay there, afraid to stir lest ho disturb tho little ono and feeling llko a horse thief because he had let tho love hungry infant cry his heart out, he repeated frequently: "Discipline bo hanged!" Chicago News. - She Wat Willing. IIo-Do you know that as long as I have knowu you I have never seen you dressed iu white? She Indeed! Are you, then, so partial to the color? IIo -Not exactly that, but whenever I seo a girl dressed in whlto I am always tempted to hiss her. She-Will you excuso me for a quarter of an hour?
