NEARSEss OF ErERStrY.-The following i'm
pressive thoughts found at the close Of one oil
DR.. Springs sermons:
al shall never again meet them but at the bar OF
God. That interview seems indeed far distant.
But it will be as time, with his eagle wings
shall have finished the little remnant of his short
career. after DEATH the Judgment We die,
but intervening ages pass rapidly over those who
sleep in the dust. There is no dial plate there on
which to count the hours of time. No longer is II
told by days, months, or years; for the planets
which mark those periods hidden from their
sight Its flight Is no longer noted by events per-
ceived by the senses; for the deaf and the eye
is closed The busy world of life, which wakes at
each morning and ceases every night, goes on
above them, but to them all is silent and unseen.
The greetings of joy and the voice OF grief the re-
voutions of empires and the lapse OF ages send no
sound within that narrow cell. Generations are
brought and laid by their side; the inscription upon
their monumental marble tells the centuries that
have passed away but to the sleeping dead the long
interval is unobserved. Like dream OF the night,
when with the quickness of thought the mind
ranges time and space, almost without limit,
there is but moment between the hour when the
eye is closed in the grave and when it wakes to the
.iudrment."

duel and he al once commenced one Of those
delightful criticisms ON passage OF this poet,
