fastening HoME.-Life bears us on
like the stream of a mighty river. Our
boat at first goes down the tiny channel
through the playful murmuring of the
little brook and the willows upon it's
grassy borders. The trees shed their
blossoms over our heads, the flowers on
the brink seem to offer themselves to our
young hands; we are happy in hope, and
grasp eagerly ut the beauties around US 4;
the stream hurries on, and still our hands
are empty: Our course in youth and in
manhood is along wider, deeper food,
and amid objects more striking and mag
nificent. We are animated by the NOV
ing pictures of enjoyment and industry
passing us: we are excited by our short
lived enjoyments. The stream bears us
on, and joys and griefs are left behind
US. We may be shipwrecked, but we
cannot be delayed; for, rough or smooth,
the river hastens towards its home, till
the roar of the ocean is in our ears, and
the waves beneath our feet, and the
Hoods are lifted up around US, and we
take our leave OF earth and its inhabi-
tants, until of our further voyage there
IS no witness save the Infinite and Eter-
nal.-Bishop Heber's Fare,ceN Sermon.
