A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTIoN.--ft cannot
be that earth lie mans abiding place. 1t
cannot be that our life is cast up by the
ocean of eternity to float a moment upon
it's waves and sink into nothingness.
Else why is it that the high and glorious
aspirations which leap like angels from
the temple of our heart are forever wan
dering about unsatisfied? Why is the
rainbow and cloud come over us with a
beauty that is not Of earth, and then pass
of & leave US to muse upon their faded
loneliness i? Why is it that the stars who
hold their festival around the midnight
throne are set above the grasp Of our
limited faculties forever hooking us with
their unapproachable glory! And final
ly, why is it that brighter forms of human
beauty are presented to our view, and
then taken from US, leaving the thous-
and streams of our affections to flow
back in alpine torrents upon our hearts !.
We are born for higher destiny than
that of earth; there is realm where The
rainbow never fades; where the stars
will be spread out before us, like islands
that slamber on the ocean; and where
the beautiful beings which here pass be-
fore us like shadows will stay in our pre-
sence forever. -BULwER.
