that the high and glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the temple of our hearts, for

the rainbow and the cloud come over us with
beauty that is not Of earth, and then pass off and
leave us to muse upon their faded loyeliness.
Why is il that the stars that shold their festivals
around the midnight throne,' are set above the

with their nnapproaehable glory! And finally,
why it is that bright forms of human beauty are
presented TO our view and then taken from us
leaving the thousand streams to flow back like
an Alpine torrent upon our hearts! We were
