PERFECT RESIGNATION.
It is reported of a person who, being ill, was asked whether she was willing to live or die; she answered—"Which God pleases." "But," said one, "if God should refer it to you, which would you choose?" "Truly," replied she, "I would at once refer it to Him again."

REST.
Some seek bread—no more—life's mere subsistence,
And some seek wealth and ease—the common quest;
And some seek fame that hovers in the distance;
But all are seeking rest.
