gardener, the artisan, the merchant,
the professional man and the idler,
all seemed bending their energies
to their favorite employment. The
picture upon the whole was a pleas
ant one, and as I stood musing, I
observed that many highways from
the outspreading country seemed
to converge, and meeting at sin
gle point on the river bank, near
where l stood, and that the multi
tude were gradually pressing their
way thither. There were many
by-ways that seemed to lead into
interminable jungles, into which
many entered and lost their way.
Casting my eye TO the right, or
eastern shore, l beheld another
landscape, far SURPRISING in beau
ty and grandeur the one ! have de.
scribed. 1t seemed to be made up
of beautiful groves and shady
bowers, with pathways decked
with gaudy noWeI., ANU or1Iuuug
by trees bearing perpetual fruit,
meandsring streams of purest wa
ter, cascades and crystal lakes,
made up the view. A bright and
mellow light illuminated the scene,
and it seemed as perpetual day.
There was no night there.
Near tho place where l stood,
and where the highways from the
left hand side Of the river converg-
ed. there was bridge OF exquisite
structure and fair proportions, that
spanaed the river. The pathways
over this structure seemed covered
with the most costly and delicate
silken tapestry, glowing with an
inherent light. Upon the opposite
or right bank, the pathways across
the bridge seemed to converge to
single point, which was over
shsdowed by a dense growth Of
trees, which threw a dark shadow
over the passage that led to walks
beyond.
AS | stood alone, gazing upon
the scene, I observed that many
approached the bridge from the
left bank. Some would come tim
idly along, as though afraid to step
upon the seemingly frail structure,
while others would dash forward
with songs Of joy, and with nimble
feet, tread the pathway to the meth.
er shore. One thing l observed
that seemed strange. Every one
passed the bridge solitary and
alone; the aged, the middle aged
