for some time bore the appearance OF dark

a throb o. joyful feeling, and glow Of anin,a-
ton equal TO those Of the times past "when we
struck the gay Tyre and sung The merry song"
Often doth memory reirace those enviable ear.

so long had slept, and which now had vanished
midst the progress Of age and more lasting at

that Of an "immortal trust" and that withou,
it, other objects would be comparatively as fu-
tile as The idea that this mortal was never to
put on immortality, but that this was to he our
eternal abiding place. When the dark germ Of
woe pie-ces the sensitive fibre Of our hearts, or
the bitter stream of grief is o'ernowing into
