MISCELLANEOUS.
ELOQUENT ExTRAcr Generation after
|generatiou, says an eloquent writer, have
felt as we feel, and their fellows were as &C.
tive in life as we are now. They have pass
ed away as vapor, while nature wore the
same aspect Of beauty as when her Creator
commanded her to be. The heavens shall
be as bright over our graves as they are now
around our paths. The wsrld will have
the same attraction for our offspring yet un.
born, as she had once for ourselves, and that
she has now fol. our children. Yet little
while and all this will have happened. The
throbbing heart will be 'stilled, and we shall
be al rest. Our funeral. will wind on its
way, and the prayers will be said, and our
friends return, land We shall be left behind
TO darkness and the worm. And it may be
Tor some short time that we shall be spoken
Of, but the things Of lifeWill creep in and
we shall soon be forgotten. Days will con-
Itinue to move on, and laughter and song
win be heard in the place in which we died;
and the eye that mourned for us will be
dried, and glisten again with JOY; and even
our children wln cease 10 thiRk. Of US, and
will not remember to lisp our nams.y .lss.'-
