The icccnt death of n young fireman from injuries lecelved whllo following tho mtli of duty and thu fatal shooting of a somew hat notorious character havo both shocked thu community In an unusual degree. For thu onotheio is admiration, for the other pity, but in both cases Hie sensibilities of people havo been strongly ntrected. It goes to show how dear life is to till of us. It com pels us to pause a moment In our careless, every day occupations, and biiugs homo to us a realization of thu fact that nn accident or nn net of another may stop our earthly caieer at nny moment. Theio nro several lessons to be drawn fiom these facts. They should tench us to sut our houses in order and bo ever reudy for thu dread summons. It should teach us tho value of the services pf tho men who risk their lives for tho pub lic good, and it should lead us to havo greater charity for those who may bo op.'ii to criticism, but of whoso inner lives wo know little. Lifo is the most precious thing on em tli, death tho most solemn. Tho du ties of the ono ami tho sadness of the other mo forced homo to us by recent u vents, nnd it will harm no onu to do a little sober think ing on these subjects.
