face. "There," said she, continuing to-
point upward, while her shrill unearthly
voice penetrated the depths Of my soul,
"there he is, treading the sapphire walks of
light. l now can see his precious form moy-
ing through the ambient groves which cir
Gle round the tree of life. I see the &C.
static ranture of immortal bliss. binding his
immortal brow. as Won bright moon binds
the earth with her mellow beams. Ihear
the chant of his undying song. I see the
smile on his undyipg lips-I feel his warm
breath fall upon nv cheek as when the
matcbless sunshine of NV life knew not the
darkness Of the descending storm. O. 7
know now he's mineline with the hierarcbs
of heaven. and blood redeemed of earth.
And when thought I'd go, when thought
I'd stifle the throbings of this poor heart in

and meet meet him where happiness fingers for
ever. WnGr6 DG0tlLuQos ana lOV smile IN 1nat

upon me, and bade me longer stay tho't
he told me that my hour had not yet come
that many slow toiling years must come
and go-that these raven tresses which he
used to call so beautiful, must grow white
and whiter still-that the luster Of these
rosy cheeks must pail and fade-yes, he
told me so-and5 now I'll wander round the
desert world till he looks again and bids
me come-pll wander round, and when the
wave of years has whitened out my raven
locks, and stole the color from my rosy
cheeks, and made them marble-eold damp
marble-then I'll go-I'll meet him on
those blissful shores-Illc clasp him there.
and then this aching heart will forget its
pangs.,' g s5s q e* A oh
