earth the glory of a aee,ing world, to break the spell which beauty wears in hours of bliss.
 The vapors lie chaos-ike ore futures shadowy deep. No mortal power can penetrate it's gloom nor solve its mysle- ries. The wheel of unknown destiny rolls in its obscurity.
 The grave may yearn upon our steps. and all our earthly fortunes be wrecked forever.
 { But though the thread of life be length ened out to the farthest limit that Heaven can give, still the heart trembles beneath the poisonous lance of sorrow; the friends we love like autumn leaves will perish {; the cup of life will overflow with bitter ness, aud despair will thrill the soul like the sad minstrelsy of eternal death
 But. Oh, there IS q place beyond this transitory scene, where no dial marks the fleeting hours, where no shadows come 10 din the skies. That world adorned in chanceless beauty is the Christians ever. lasting home. To that my rising soul aspmes. s
 Oh then may the Great and Holy One lead us to that blest region where no bro ken cho d can jar upon the music of the sain,'s immortal choir; no tear-drops min gle with the crystal wave of everlasting life; where there is no shade to blend with the reflection of . God whose dark est shadow Is truth and light inef1ible!
 Is Heaven the reward of the faithful {? Then let the future bring it's toll and pain; let the vail of woe come, and the heart pine in sadness, for long-blasted hopes shall yet revive there yet is hope, and our tears only shine as jewels in the lem pests clouds to light us 10 that bright world. where every vapor cloud shall be dissolved in Heavens everlasting sum- shine Flowers that fade shall bloom again; and those who sleep beneath the tomb shall wake 10 life divine. Tie grave shall bloom upon the sunlit vale of im- mortality, and crowns and thrones are there

true character was discovered, agreed with him entirely.
 One young man from Cincinnati was partic- ularly distressed in the sudden disappearance of the blackleg, for he had, under the infu- ence of an overdose of brandy, staked and lost half eagle, which his mother had given him | just before her death. twas not the loss of the money that distressed him for he had plenty of that; it was the associations connec- ted with the coin itself. There was history belonging to it, he said, and he would give the gambler the double value of it, if he would re- turn it, with little ring attached to it. That evening to the disappointment of all on board, who were prepared to deal with him in summary manner, the blackleg did not appear. Man or devil, ne had the means of knowing of the indignation his acts had caused. There was strange mystery about him. Every part of the steamer was again searched in vain for him, and it seemed ccr- tain that he could not have gone ashore.
 The next day I was talking with the Rev. Mir. ..Gosgies, not about the gambler, but on general topics. Of course, his life. as an itin- erant, was full of interest to me. He told me how cheaply he lived and traveled from place to place; that hewas often hungry, and never had over ten dollars at once.
 ..I have only five, now, he said; and to yer fly his statement, he took from his pocket a half eagle. a Ha E

 What thought is folded in thy leavesl What tender thought, what speeches. pain holdth faded form to mine, Thou darling of the April rain.
 Ihold thy faded lips to mine, Though scent snd azure tint are fied-- Odry, mute lips! ye are the type Of something iii me cold and dead. Of something wilted like thy leaves; or Fragrance flown, of beauty dim; Yet, for tie love of those white hands That found thee by rivers brim- That fouud thee, when thy sunny mouth Was purpled as with drinking wine For love of her who love forgot, 1 hold thy faded lips to mine.
 That thou should'st live when am dead When hate is dead, for me, and wrong, For this, use my subtlest art, For this, fold thee in my song.
