The dewdrops vanish one by one.
That seem to glisten everywhere.
Drawn BY the kisses Of the sun
.risy 2 AMI s and they 5e Do am not die.
Although the thirsty road he dry.
The dew at night will fall in vain
On broken herbage by the way:
The dew will change to gentle rain.
And waken far-Of flowers to May:
Yet herbs and flowers in every sky
In every land are born to die.
The pleasant thoughts of dawnins youth.
Arc parehe'a away by toll and care.
Aud leave the dusty road Of truth.
The trOddcn path of duty bare:
And yet Our pleasant thoughts are true.
Although they pass like morning dew.
They pass from us, their light is she'd
On broken works Of weary hands
they pass from us, their sweetness fed
Some nobler toll In happier lands:
Yet every man beneath the sun
Doth all his deeds to he unslOne
Our pleasant thoughts are like the dew.
One half of heaven, on" half of earth
They seem to die. hut they renew
The sacrament of their sweet birth:
But fruitful plants and deeds Of men
Are earth, and turn to earth again.
In thirsty fields of barren air
The dew is born to fall in vain:
Our thoughts 60 up to heaven, and there
They change to mists of golden rain,
Whereof the fourfold fountain head
In Paradise is Away fed.
Our thoughts, that seem to come and go,
Abide indeed in God on high;
For He ortlains to water 80
The only tree that does not die:
And angels in its shadow sit;
But who IL he shall eat Of it?

CHAPTER VII.

" II.
Our party were nearly all much fatigued
to rise very early the next morning, so the
breakfast hour was deferred, and one by one,
they assembled, each in subdued, quiet frame
of mind, until n cup of Mrs. Miller's deli ghtful
Coffee with it's accompaniment of rich cream.
loosened their tongues and enlivencd their
spirits.
Mr. Ramsay, Mrs. Miller's brother, opened the
conversation by bantering Mrs. Harvey on the
susceptibility of her nerves, in comparison with
those of the other ladies, who stood the scene
30 bravely.
at was not simply the physical shock.
George" replied Mrs. Harvey, 90 that I'M
nerved me; but far more the effect of the NEIL
tai reflections induced by the scene. To
human beingsendowed with so many excellent
qualities who really arc anxious to do what il
right and acceptable to God-the majority of
whose lives we must, i'll charity, believe to bc
harmless and pure-to zee such persons, and in
such numbers too, pervcrt the teachings of
the gospel as to believe that by turning them
selves into dancing Dcrvishes, and inuring
their bodies that they may thereby save their
souls, is indeed saddening, and must confess,
turned the very soul within me sick.p
why, Mrs. Harvey" said Mrs. Wheeler, a
woman with noble heart and fine mind but
which had been perverted by the influence of
an infidel father, and dangerous course of
reading; II am sure that the religious orders
of your Church, by their pcnances, do quite rs
much to iniure the health rs do these poor
fanatics"
''You are entirely mistaken, Mrs. Wheeler:
because, in the first place, with MS, such
plicIlse Is ueiIner system Hor ''it "ohRaUlon.
but individual, voluntary act, predicated
upon the teachings of st. Paul and the expert
ence of the saints, who chastise the body that
they may subdue the spirit But every re-
ligious understands that it is deemed a greater
sin to njurc the physical health by such ex-
cesses than il would be to omit such discipline
| altogether. 1t is true that there have been in
| dividual instances of this kind of mistaken
zeal but they have never been indorsed by the
Church. Neither do penitents, like those
deluded Shakers, exhibit their works, but per
| form in secret, as commanded, 80 that He who
| sceth in secret may reward them.7
just then one of Mrs. Miller's children ran in,
shouting:
