0.yThe following beautiful lines from the
Dublin University Magazine will remind the
reader of the last scene in Bunyan's "Pil-
grim's Progress"
BEYOND THE RIVER.
Time is a river deep and wide;
And while along its banks we stray,
Wesee our loved ones Ger its tide
Sail from our sight away, away.
Where are they sped-they who return
No more to glad our longing eyesl
They've passed from lfe's contracted bourne
10 land unseen, unknown, that lies
Beyond the river
IT'S hid from views but we may guess
How beautiful that realm must be;
For gIeamings oi its loveliness,
In visions granted oft we see.
The very clouds that o'er it throw
Their veil, unraised ior mortal sight,
With gold and purple tintings glcw,
Reflected from the glorious light
Beyond the river.
And gentle airs, SO sweet, so calm,
Steal sometimes from that viewess sphere;
The mourner feels their breath Of balm,
And soothsd sorrow dries the tear
And sometimes lst'ning ears may gain
Embracing sound that hither floats;
The echo OF distant strain,
OF harps' ami voices blended nptes,
Beyond the river.
There are our lovd ones in their rest
They've crossed Times River; now no more
They heed the bubbles on its breast,
Nor feel the storms that sweep its shore.
But there pure love can live, can last
They look for us their home to share;
Wheel we in Wrn away have passed,
What Joyful greetings wait us there,
Beyond the river,
