A BEAUTIFUL REFLEcrIoE.--It cannot be that
earth is mans only abiding place. 1t cannot be
that our life is bubble, cast upon the ocean OF
eternity, to float a moment on its waves, and sink
into nothingness. Else why is 1t that the high
and glorious aspiration, which leap like angels,
from the temple of our heart, are forever wander
inc about unsatisfed! Why is it that the rainbow
and the cloud come over us with beauty that is
not of EARTH and then pass off and leave to muse
upon their faded loneliness Why is it that the
stars hold ''their festival around the midnight
throne and set above the grasp of our limited
faculties, forever knocking with their unapproach-
able glory. And, finally, why is it that the bright
forms of human beauty are presented to our view,
and then are taken from us--leaving the thousand
streams of pure affections to flow back in their Al
pine torrents upon our hearts We are born fol
higher destiny than that of earth. There is a
realm where the rainbow never fades; where the
stars viii be spread out before like islands thai
slumber on the ocean, and where the beautiful be-
ings which here pass before us like shadows, Will
stay in our presence forever.
