with an air Of pride, an il he would say
There's touch for you
Speaking of clerical oratory, bids me
think of an event l witnessed lately in an
episcopal convenlicIe. The morning SER
vice had been said-the rich tones Of the
organ were mellowing away into silence
when the speaker arose, and named his
text, in these simple words: Jesus Ospt.
He spoke in a strain of touching simplicity
he maintained the sorrows Of the Saviour
at the death Of Lazarus-and he described
in beautiful language the propriety of his
grief by enlarging upon that inevitable con-
dition Of mortality which causes all to grieve.
BY and by heard Il faint moan. A young
and tender-hearted mother, who had but a
few weeks before buried blooming daugh-
ter, the darling of her love, overcome by her
feelings had tainted away. But it was no
boisterous or narrowing language, that thus
stirred within her the holy fountain of a
mothers affection. 1t was the words OF
simplicity that fell upon her ear. and trem-
bled in her bosom. The circumstances re-
vived in my mind the memory of sermon
the offspring Of untutored genius-which
1 heard in early youth. The preacher was
an uniei'ered woodsman, but he spoke with
correctness with cloquence. The occasion
was the funeral of child. The boy, lad
OF four or five years old, lay on the bier be-
fore him ; his fair cheeks had not lost their
rosy red, and his little form, so decentIy
composed in the white garments of the
grave, looked far too dainty for the earth
to cover. The speaker took his text from
the touching story of Gehazi and the Shu-
mantle. forget the place where it is to
be found. 'And he said to the mother, Is
IL well with theel Is is it we'll with thy
husband /! Is it well with thy child And
she answered, 1T is sceH' He went on to
show his hearers, that in the case before
them, it was weH with the child : and
beautifully did he prove it. My heart swells
yet, at the mere remembrance of that ser
mon. Mother do you mourn for the
child that has fallen like blossom from
your arms' Weep not for it is weH. He
has escaped the darkness of earthly sorrow
the clouds that day by day would have
rolled gradually over his spirit-the crosses
Of existencc--thc gloom that follows after
that golden age, ere the life Of life begins to
fall aud fade-he has missed all these, and
in that better country where his Father
and our Father smiles upon him. his nno-
cent spirit is at rest. Fond mother dis
trust not thy God. Lift thy heart-warm
prayer to him in the night-watches and as
thou implorest consolation, thou mayest
ask thy Cod Is it well with thy child T.

and long. The preacher was such man

Sink in the halls OF the remorseless tomb,
Closing the changes of lifo's pilgrimage
In ,he still darkness Of its mouldering gloom;
Oh what shadow DER the heart is flung,
When peals the requiem of the loved and young!
They to whose bosoms, like the dawn of spring
To the unfolding bud and scented rose,
Comes the pure freshness age never bring,
And fills the spirit with a rich repose,
How shall we lay them in their final rest
How pile the clods upon tfelr wasting breast1
Life openeh brightly to their ardent gaze
glorious pomp sits on the gorgeous sky;
Der the broad world Hopes smile incessant plays,
And scenes Of beauty win the enchanted eye;
How sad to break the vision, and to fold
Each liieess form in earth's embracing mould
Yet this in Life! To mark from day TO day,
Youth, in the freshness Of its morning prime,
Pass, like the anthem Of breeze away
Sinking in waves Of Death, ere chilled by Time
Ere yet dark years on the warm cheek had shed

And yet what mcurner, though the pensive eye
be dimly-though,fu in its burning tears,
But should with rapture gaze upon the sky,
Through whose far depths the spirits wing careens
