 Give me the sign of ineffabie emotion of "d he0rt too full Jor words, sym pathy too erqWisite for expression"
 Lay thy soul down here, by sou manifested to God in " groanines tha cannot be uttered" and see if thou cans get instinctive sense of its voiceless meaning.
 Come nigh--nigher than words bring mind to mind. q There is close ant silent commune of the though and wakened senses, by which we understand each other better than we could by words. These are beautiful revelatibh of each others nature, like the imagined intercourse of angels, whose thoughts and feelings are interchanged by strange and wonderful sympathies. and need no tongue to speak them."
 Of what use, then, do you ask, are verbal forms of higher thought? ? Ger tainly friend. they are not synonyms of the idea they attempt. They are but faint types of the living emotion trying to get itself embodied in them. Words effect. in their relation to the profound soul-wo'kings. what the inarticulate mur. mur and rush of governed stream do for its unseen tide. |, Is something to near what may guide one. longing to dip his fevered brain, and slake his bu, ming thirst in the heart 8 flow of sai tn s deep, est springs. .E
 But. say you, why give, in human ears, any signs of the unu!terable emotion ?-- A poet shall answer you. in his vindica> ion of what had been censured as the printing ones very soul." He insists hat to all but the few capable of a spir, uual accord with that soul, its uiterance is no revelation. The truth is." he adds, "no one can reach the fountains of emotion in another. except through sy ms pa;hy, and there is a freemasonry-an n>tnctive mutual understanding, thus awakened. which makes lke revelation sacred. Acco' dingly, there is Httle dun ger of compromise of self respect, in uttering to the vorid our inwayd iits lf any ptoper degree of tao! and dignity is observed" "
 The self. xrression of mind discovers li',le or nothing to other than it's consen tient mind. Thought carrie s is my g ic sy mbols, all unread, in passing through the crowd--bu. repents not their discIc. sure, for. at length they meet responsive thought, at length are understood = Waits somewhere, in yearning des re. t e soul to whom those signs are inteliigi6ie. to whom they uncorer the spirit whence they cmana,cd For such communion, ;he neglect. or censure. or the sheer of q s onant minds. can well be endured.
 Or, even from the soui's aching fullness of emotion, may struggle out 10 the worlds ear, irrepressible sighings, not exhausting--not even relieving, the deep opl res,ive misery sishings unconscious Iy vocsliz,d, as from the abysrnal depths come earthquake g oans and crat-r flame.
 But go to: if thou needest explans- tions-these readings of the interior sens siive heart are not for thee.
 Not even from thy jesls and pity ari thou solicited to refrain. IL may all seem foolish with hee it will not unto aH. To ali ,? Eyes are now on these words-out from which looks the hush> ed spirit co-puisative in it's throbbings with these experiences. ,-, ...e.
 So far now have these ;nitid expanded themselves along this column. we must be content, friend, thou and 1, till the opportunity of another week puts us again in communication.
 One parting word. Be not too saga- cious cf the authorship of these pennings. Thou wilt surely go amiss in confident assertions. As the CIepsydra had its two bulbs. and the water drops that kept time in their endless transcurrence be- tween, might have been dipped from ya' ,ious founts, so, be pleased to asOribt the thoughts here offered thee. to plura soulcss.
 If our cogitations are after thine owr heart, accept them at their sterling worth What matters it, # thou art presented with a diamond, who washed it. or by whom it was cut? Enrich myself with the treasure. and be thankful. Let the arlizan rest in his willing obscurity. Par don me, inquisilive friend but there arf words of ancient wisdom l must quote 1T thine ear. " What is delivered unto ttee think thereupon with reverence. Be no i curious in unnecessary matters; for many are deceived by their own vain opinion IL is not needful for thee to see with thine own eyes the things that are in secret. For the moment. farewell.
