A ioyous burst Of music fell upon my ear.

myself being no longer Of earth, but floating
high on magic pinionS Of air. 1t ceased, the
spell was broken, and the enchanted spirit
quietly sunk back into tSwonted mood. Then
came low, rich strain, "such as when " indS
and harp strings meet" so sad and yet so
beautiful. On the still evening air it rose,
plainlive and high, then slowly died away,
like some lone spirits waii. Oh! it seemed
like music from another world. | wept,
know not why; but 10 me oil nature had put
on Sombre hue, and pensive thoughts stole
thick and fast into ths chambers OF the soul.
Then | looked up 10 the clear, quiet stars,
and wiShl might soar away. and listen 10
the iarps Of heaven. How strange power
hath music over Tue human heart II binds
il with fascinating resistess spell, and bear;
i, aloft on the wings OF Imagination; then LET'S
it gently fall to the earth. and leaves it where
il was before. For The glad hours Of man il
hath Joyous notes, aud soothing strain for
his darker moments. "Sing 10 me-" said the
diving boy 10 his mother, and then his eye was
dim, and the death damp gathered on his brow
and every other avenue 10 earth was sealed
up; those low swee, tones fell like the pre-
lude of heaven on his ear, sad beneath their
melody his spirit passed away.
The world is full OF music, and Oft il giveth
forth a mournful sound, as though il bewaiIeG
its hap!ess state, and would find relief in sad
compIninngs. Its moan is heard in the night
bleeeze, in the falling rain and in the coming
storm. Ii sweeps over the heart and stills its
mirih, and turns il away sick Of eartb'S vani-
lies, 10 weep in loneliness. Some one has
said, such dirge-like music had been unknown
if the blight Of sin had not fallen OIL this
world. since lis minor tones ever Tend 10 sad
den The spirit and harmonize with its sorrow.
See y0nder grave where the lone maniac sits
and weeps, aud sings her wild requeum 10 the
storm. Poor maiden il is winter in thy soul,
and to thee the bowling winds make strange
mnSic, and echo back thy own sad plaint.--
Thy harp is all unstrung, but when thy path
less spirit shall return from it wanderings, ait
shall wake to the sound OF the seraphim's
song
But, linger not, my muse, so mournfully
amid III, lule strings. Such strains beht thee
not, they are Of the earth and shall pass ~ ay.
Look now to yondcr world, where angels sing,
and the glad song Of The redeemed is ever ro.
liag heavens high arches. Listen 10 their
eternal rapture, and lei thy heart rise and
mngle IFS anthem with theirs, around the
lhTOne of the Holy One.
