The Resting Place.

However dark and disconsolate the path of
life may seem to any man, there is an hour of
deep and undisturbed repose at hand when
the body may sink into a dreamless slumber.
Let not the imagination be startled if this
resting place, instead of being a bed of down,
shall be bed of gravel, or the rocky pave
ment ofthe tomb. Nomatter where the poor
remains of a man may lie, the reposo is deep
and undisturbed: the sorrowful bosom heaves
no more; the tears are dried up in their foun-
tains the aching head is at rest, and the
stormy waves of earthly tribulation roll I'M
needed over the place of graves. Let armies
engage in fearful conflicts over the very bo-
SONS of the pale nations of the dead, not one
of the slecpers heed the spirit-stirrlng trump,
or respond to the rending shouts of victory.
How quiet those countless millions slum-
Der in the arms of their mother earth! The
voice of thunder shall not awaken them,-
the loud cry Of elements, the winds, the
waves, nor even the giant tread the earth
quake shall be able to cause an inquietude in
the chamber of death. They shall rest and
pass away; the last great battle shall be
fought, and then a silver voice, at first just
heard, shall rise to a tempest, and penetrate
the voiceless grave. For the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall hear His voice.

THE LETTER.

Ii came TO the Newfoundland his heart
Grew sad DER its trembling page;
For it told of disaster, and wreck and death,
And the might of the tempest's rage!
1t came to the Lawyer-he broke with smile
The seal, for he thought of his fee;
But alas! ittold of the death of his wife,
And his little children three!
1t came to the man of God
And he hurredly traced its lines;
1t told of the death of his brother abroad,
Ona mission to fiery climes!
1t came to the Stateman's desk
To the Presidents cabinet door;
lie read of an army lately raised
That army was now no more!
hcame to the Farmers HEARTH,
While his children were round him smiling
In the joyous glee of innocent mirth-
His sorrows all beguiling!
And he turned to the sky as a hurricane sped
And his children in harvest time murmnr''
breddi
But it came to the Maiden's bo,cer
AS she conn'd its pleasant page,
She thought minute was full an hour,
And an hour seem'd an age!
For it came with the forest leaves
With the birds of carly spring.
And more-it came tchen the heart ,cas fresh
find had not kno,on sOrrOtcinS!
And it told of her lovers truth,
And his fortunes far away
And she counted the sleaden footed hours,
And sighed for-the happy day,
