A Beautiful Sentiment.

Sixteen years ago Rev. John W. Maffet,
then in his prime, delivered lecture which
closed with the following fine passage:
''The Phenix, tabled bird of antiquity,
when it felt the advancing chills of age, built
its own funeral urn, and fired his pyre by
means which nature $ instincts taught All
its plumage and its form of beauty became
ashes; but then would rise the young
beautiful from the urn of death and cham
ber of decay would the fedgling come, with
its eyes turned toward the sun, and essaying
its dark velvet wings sprinkled with gold
and fringed with silver, on the balmy air,
rising a little higher. until at length in the
full confidence of flight, it gives cry ofjoy,
and soon becomes glittering speck on the
bosom of the aerial ocean. Lovely voyager
Of earth, bound on its heavenward journey
to the sun So rises the spirit bird from
the ruins of the body, the funeral urn which
its Maker built; the death fires. So tow
ers away to its home in the pure elements OF
spirituality, intellect Phoenix, to dip its
proud wings into the fountain of eternal
bliss So shall dear precious humanity sur
vive from its ashes of the burning world.
So beautifully shall the unchanged soul soar
within the disc of eternity luminary, with
undazzled eye and unscorched wings-the
Phoenix of fimmortality-taken to its rainbow
home, and Graded on the beating bosom of
eternal love" "
