Influence of dcpartcd Friends.

o how elevating is thought! In the fever
oflfe, when the head is hot, and the heart
beats fast, how good is it to pause moment,
and think of those who are removed from the
con.agion Of our excitement; who are no lon
ger jostled aboat by society, at war with it.
self and with nature! Without such medita-
lions to cheer our distracted existence, know
not how we could live. The soul longs for a
state Of full activity, yet harmonious and
calm. But few can attain TO it here; yet We
all have its promise in those rare moments.
when lifted to the nights Of our being by
prayer, or enthusiasm, or quiet, ascending
contemplation, We know the meaning of that
word which expresses the last result Of Chris
tain discipline--peace.
At such times, the thought of those who
have gone before us is seldom absent How
superior an influence like this that we exert
upon each other in our every day existence.
1t is not true that our friends in the spiritual
world are the only true ones; for never with
them do we hold intercourse in our moments
Of weakness but our hour of lofty endeavor
and vrluous elevation. As when the sun is
resting below tho horizon, we may climb to
the mountains top, and standing in the daz-
zng light, seem TO those below us transfgur-
ed; so, upon the loftiest SUBMITS of our be-
ing rests light from the spiritual
world; and at times We are permitted
to stand in it; then our sou't are cheeloi
and purGed, aud our faces become "like the
faces of angels" we are in tho presence of
God and the departed good, and those around
us hang upon our words as utterauces Of in
spiratonl
Blessed be those who in another world
