QUERIES.

souls sicken, our feet grow weary,
while treading the May path of
existence? When grouping amid
the gloom of shadows, why do we
still clasp the night flower of ir.
resolution? Knowing that the
sea of error is tccming with
schyllas charybdis; that the shore
is strewn with wrecks, also shroud-
edin heavy opaqueness-tho breath
Of drowned beings-knowing the
tolls, the perils Of the voyage, why
do we launch our fragile vessels
out in the sable waters, and un-
clasp the pearl fingers of the weep
ing angel who would fain pilot us
through the crystal stream to tho
port of happiness? Why is the
glittering chalicc held to the beau.
tiful, the innocent? Why do the
basilisk eyes ofthe tompter turn to
the sweetest flowers ? Why do ar
rows of venom, concealing golden
showers, pierce the contest heart?
Why are the fingers of the wicked
permitted to strike the delicate
chords ofthe souls harp and turn
to wailing the music which was as
soft and sweet as the song of an
gels? Why do we pray to Heaven
and still sin-still fall? Why are
onr prayers when borne to infni-
ude,grasped by demons and turned
to hail? Why does experience
take us by the hand, lead us up
softly, show us the splendors OF the
White Throne, then leave us to cry
ctcrnally at the barred gates-belp-
less and anguish stricken, till we
sink into q night darker and gloom
Ter for having our eyes dazzled?
When weary of life, tired of sin,
and the soul is ROBBED in sack cloth
and ashes, who will show US q lu.
minous path? Whom oarless, ruder-
less, out in tho storm, who will
show us the haven? Who has not
felt at times that they were alone
in this world, in life's great conflict
and the heart has ached over follies
past? Who has not experienced
that hopeless yearning for peace
that vague longing for a Gland un.
known" that ideal realm which
CLEANS in the distant "Elysian
plains?"
Who has not heard ofan "Aiden,
of goodness and purity, where tiny
seraphs with pearly wings sing ir
their graceful coverings, where
balmy breezes watt sweet perfume
through the groves, where wander
fair beings whose silvery voices
whisper of naught but innocence
and truth, where wicked passions
never throw their shadows. Wher
daily erring, daily forming new
resolutions-only to be broken
who does not feel the most wret-
ched of beings, and experience a
momentary inferno of despair
Who will grid us in the armor O.
the Invincible.
Who will guido us to the light
house of virtue, and open the dia
mond gate guarded by whito-robec
Astria? Who can fathom the wiles
the hypocrisy of man? How they
smile, pray and weep when theil
hcart.chambers are strown with The
souls they have wrecked ; whose
walls are black and disfigured by
vile arts whose floors are Grim
som with crime, and at every por
tai stands a sentinel whose clammy
touch stains the guilcless, unthink
ing child. Why are some human
beings so pure and good, and Others
SO impure and degraded?
