gs make some men happy! I could stop and laugh
for a hearty five minutes, if they were not in such a hurry.
Here I close. I can only repeat myself. There is no death. Life is
spirit, and spirit cannot die. Only the flesh dies and passes, ever a-
crawl with the chemic ferment that informs it, ever plastic, ever
crystallizing, only to melt into the flux and to crystallize into fresh
and diverse forms that are ephemeral and that melt back into the flux.
Spirit alone endures and continues to build upon itself through
successive and endless incarnations as it works upward toward the light.
What shall I be when I live again? I wonder. I wonder. . . .
FOOTNOTES
{1} Since the execution of Professor Darrell Standing, at which time the
manuscript of his memoirs came into our hands, we have written to Mr.
Hosea Salsburty, Curator of the Philadelphia Museum, and, in reply, have
received confirmation of the existence of the oar and the pamphlet.--THE
EDITOR.
