MINIsTERIHG ANGELs-The beautiful have
gone with their bloom from the gaze of bu-
man eyes. Soft eyes that made it spring time
in our hearts are seen no more. We have loved
the light of many smile that has faded from
us now, and in our hearts have lingerd sweat
voices that now are hushed in the silence of
death Seats are lett vacant in our earthly
homes, which none again can fill. Kindred
and friends, loved ones, fave passed away one
by one our hearts are left desolate we are
lonely without them. They have passed with
their love to " that lard, from whose bourne
no traveller returns" Shall we never see
them again Memory turns with lingering
regret to call those smiles and the loved tones
of those dear familiar voices. In fancy they
are often by our side, bat their homes is on q
brighter shore. They visit US in our dreams,
| floating over our memory like shadows over
moonlit waters When the heart is weary
with anguish, and the soil is bowed with
| grief, do they not come and whisper thoughts
| OF comfort aud hope Yes, sweet memory
brings them to Us, and the love We bore them
| lifts the heart from earthly aspirations and
we long to Join them in that better land
They hover round us, the ethereal, dear, de-
parted ones loving and the loved, they watch
with eyes that slumber not When gentle
dreams are wandering to the angel land, in
whispers wake the hymning strains Of that
bright and happy choir, revealing many tale
of hope, and bliss, and tenderness, and love.
They tell of sunny realms, ne'er viewed by
mortal eye-of forms arrayed in fadeless beau
ty-and lofty anthems to their great Creators
praise are sounded forth in sweat, seraphic
numbers. And this bright vision of the blest
dissolyes the tumult of life'S jarrng scenes
they fade in air, and then we glory in the
thought that we are heirs of immortality. And
why is it that we regard with such deep re-
verence aud love, those bright, celestial beings
of another sphere Ab, it is because they
take an interest in our welfare. and joy over
our success 10 the great battle of life. They are
not selfish in their happiness, but fain would
have US share it with them
