Heavens what moment must be
that when the last flutter expires on
our lips! What change! Tell me,
ye who are deepest read IN nature and
in God, 20 what new world are we
horne? What new being do we re-
eeive? Wither has that spark, that
unseen, that uncomprehended intelli-
gence fed I? Look upon the cold, liv-
h, ghnstiy corpse that lies before
you. That was not shell, gross
earthly covering, which held for a
while the immortal essence that has
now LEFT it--left II, to range perhaps,
through the illimitable space to re-
ceive new capacities of delight ; new
glories of beatitude! Ten Thousand
f,ncics rush upon the mind as 1t con-
templates the awful moment between
life and death 1t Is moment big
with imagination's greatest hopes
and fears; It Is the contamination
that clears up all mystery, resolves
all doubt, which removes contradic-
tion and destroys error. Great God
what food of rapture may at once
burst upon the departed soul j! The
unciOuded brightness of the celestial
regions, the pure existence OF ETHEREAL
beings--the solemn secrets of nature
may then be divulged; the immediate
unity Of the past, the present and the
future strains Of unimaginable har-
mony, forms ofunimperishable beauty
may then suddenly disclose them
selves bursting upon the delighted
sense, and bathing them in measure
less, bliss +? The mind Is lost in the
I'll. = n
not turn from the heavenly Wis
fon to one so gloomy, so tremendous
as the departure of the wicked! HUI
man fancy shripks back appalled,,
while hope and charity whisper to the
bleeding heart that there, where all
mercy Is, there too will be forgiveness.
