nifcent. I wished to be in my cloudy height in q
thunder storm of wind, lightning and tempest To
be, as it were, in the very midst of the artillery of
Heaven to the powder flash from its bastions
and to hear the voice of the commanding Power di-
recting the movement of its rumbling guns
levelled the telescope in the direction of Monza,
where the - Iron Crown" is kept and the town lay
like an Illuminated picture before my eye. looked
towards the North, and there the tented Alps,
covered with sheets of snow Milan and its envrons
lay about me with innumerable avenues of commu-
nication, diverging from a focus in every
direction of the compass. The guide pointed out
the high roads to Venice, Genoa and Paris. But
how difficult is it, in such situation, to contine the
mind by visible limitations In the presence of such
a vast prospect, it becomes enlarged and expan-
dsd that it travels with the telegraph and spans the
globe.
With reluctant steps, descended from the tower
of the noble Cathedral of Milan but the impressions
of the visit are mperishable they too vivid
ever to be dimmed by oblivion.-N. Y. CONNER

The Future Life.

How shall know thee in the sphere which keeps
The disemboded spirits of the dead,
When all of thee that time could wither, sleeps
And perishes among the dust We tread!
For I shall feel the sting of ceaseless pain
If there meet thy gentle presence not,
Nor hear the voice love, read again
In thy serenest eyes the tender thought.
VIII not thy own meek heart demand me there ?
That heart whose fondest throbs given
My earth ever in thy prayer,
Shall it be banished from thy tongue IN heaven
In meadows famed by heavens fe-breathng wind,
In the resplendence of that glorious sphere,
And larger movements of the unfetterei mind,
Wilt thou forget the love that joined US here
The love that lived through all the stormy past,
And meeky with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tenderer to the last,
Shall it expire with life, and be no more
I happier Tot than mine, and larger light,
Await thee there for thou hast bowed thy will
In cheerful homage to the rule of right,
And lowest all, and renderest good for i'll.
For me, the sordd cares in which dwell,
And wrath hath left its scar-thR fire of hell
Has left its frightfu scar upon my soul.
Yet though thou wcar'st the glory of the sky
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name,
The fair though brow, and gentle eye,
Loveller In heavens sweet climate, yet the same
Shalt thou not teach me in that calmer home,
This wisdom that learned so i'll in this
The wisdom which is lOve-till become
Thy fit companion in that land of bliss

When first surveyed the Cathedral Of Milan, the
general appearance Of this vast Gothic edifce re-
minded me of dense forest of shipping as if one
should stand on the heights of Brooklyn and there,
from survey the girdling commerce Of the port OF
New York. 1t appeared to me though it might

though archangels had employed their sublimest
hcutes in the undertaking.
The face of the edifce is enriched with every i'm
