upon the cold, liyid, CHASTITY corpse
THAT lies before you! That was but a
shell gross and earthly covering.
| which held for while the immortal
essence that has now left it; left it TO
range, perhaps, through illimitable
space; to receive new capacities of
delight--ney powers of perception
new glories of beautitude! Ten thou
sand fancies rush upon the mind as it
contemplates the awful moment be-
tween life and death! 1t is moment
big with imagination's greatest hopes
I and fears; it is the contamination that
clears up all mystery-resolyes all
doubts-which removes contradiction
and destroys error. Great God what
food of rapture may at once burst
upon the departed soul! The uncload-
ed brightness of the celestial regions,
| The pure existence of ETHEREAL beings,
the solemn secrets of nature may then
be divulged; the immediate unity q

forms of impesishable beauty may
then suddenly disclose themselves
bursting upon the delighted senses
and bathing them in measureless bliss
