The body of our Lord and SdvioU'-l
awful, thrilling words, doubly, doubly spir.
itual and solemn, when uttered by the bed
side Of the dying. AS the sacred morsel
touched Alvin's lips, it was as the coal Of
fire taken from the altar to unseal the mouth
Of the prophet: for suddenly raising himself
erect he lifted his wasted arms. his eyes
burning with lustre too intense for earth,
and exclaimed,
L know that my Rcdeemer liveth, and
though after death. worms destroy this body.
yet in my flesh shall | see Cod
Triumphantly he repeated those glorious
words, and oh such a peace as made his
eager face more glorious. already beautiful
with the mystery of death.
Again he turnel-the minister with the
trembling hand that had just wiped his
streaming eyes, proff.red him the goblet
lie drank, anil sinking back softly upon an
crept away to weep-he looked with a glow
ing smile around him murmuring-
'And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes !; isn't it sweet, Sweet comfort to
think OF it Oh, mother, mother, you will
weep a little while, and then-you will dwell
with my Saviour and me, and never, never
weep any more?
1t was too much for the poor widow
She sprang from her hiding-place, and will
one convulSive sob, gathered that dear de-
parting one in her arms, once more to hel
bosom. He threw his arms over her neck
laid his head upon her shoulder: lifted hi
dying eyes upon her face, and with a look o
unutterablc love, kept them fastened upor
her grief worn features. All over the room
low sobs were heard. Who in the midst 0
such a scene could look on unmoved?
Controlling her feelings once more, TIL
widow laid him tenderly back. The hecti
had faded quite away, the CLASSY whitenes
had come back to lip and brow, but tn
holy expression, the saint-like smile, the I'm
dying lovc-all were unchanged.
Gradually the hand sank, the light fadeC
from his eyes. The company had %silentl
retired, save the man of God and the MOURN
ing mother.
A whisper, faint as the perfume waite
from the dropping flowers. issued from tn
dying lips. The minister bent to listen
then pressing a farewell kiss upon the shi
ming brow, he answered the wild and cage
glance of the widow, with the words uttere
slow and solemnly.
Weep no more for him,
The lids he so seldom could close
By anguish forbidden to sleep,
Now sealed in their mortal repose,
Have strangely forgotten to weep
Alvin is in heaven!'
