From the throne of life eternal,
From tho homo of love supernal,
Where the angel feet mako music over all
tho starry floor;
Mortals I have como to meet you,
Como with words OF love to greet you,
And 20 tell you of the glory that is n,inc
forever moro.
Once before I found "a mortal
Waiting at the Heavenly portal
Waiting but TO catch some echo from that
ever opening door;
And I seized his quicItened being,
And through all his inward seeing,
Caused my burning institutions in Il fiery
food to pour.
Now I come moro 1nec!>ly human
And the weak lips Of q woman
Touch with fro troEl Off tho altar not with
burnin.'s as Of yoro;
But i'll holy love descending,
with her cnastcned being blending,
I would fill your souls with music from the
bright celestial shore.
As ono heart ycarns for another
AS child turns to its mother
From tho golden gates Of glory turn to
the earth onco moro,
Where my cup WAS filled with Sadness,
Where my soul was stung to madness,
And life's bitter burning pillows swept my
burdcncd being DOR!
Here the harpies and tho ravens,
Cruel vampires, sortlid cravcns,
Preyed upon my soul and substance till
writhed in anguish sore.
Iifc and I then seemed nisnln!od,
For felt accursed and fotcd
Like q lost and wrathfuI spirit Wandering
on the stygian shore.
But while living, hoping, dying,
Never did my soul cease crying:
Ie who guide the fatcs and fur;os, give, oh!
give mo, ilnpIoro,
From the countless consultations,
From the myriad hosts Of nations,
One pure spirit that can love mc--ono that
too can adore!
Mid this fcrve11t aspiration
Found my fnintirg soul salvation,
For from out the blackoncd fro crypt. did
my struggling spirit soar
And my beautiful ideal,
Not too sanity to be roal.
Burst moro brightly Oh my vision than tho
fency-forrlcd IGNORE!
Mid Tire slreing seas sho found mo
With tho pillows breaking round me,
And my sad ana sinking Split in her arms
of love upborc-
Like q lOno one weak and weary,
Wandering, il tho midnight Glrcary,
On hor sinless sanity bosom brought me to
the Heavenly shore?
Like the prayers OF saints ascending,
Like tho hreGth Of blossoms blending,
Like the raiDbow's soven-hucd glory blend
souls forever moroi
Earthly loves and IJtsta cnslav cd mo,
But divinest love hath saved nc,
And know now first and only how to love
and to adore.
Oh! my mortal friends and brothers,
We are each and al nnothcr5,
And tho heart that gives most freely from
its treasure hath tho moro.
Would you lose your life you find 1t,
And i'll giving love you bind it
Like an amulet of safety to your heart for
ever Inorct

was not discouraged by this difficulty,
with surprising readiness and boldness
he suggested that His Highness should
bring the whole party on TO the theatre
The Duke was not displeased, and
merely suggested another difficulty.
His dinner was 10 be OF six, while the
play began at seven. The petitioner
had another suggestion ready; the play

From the Inyo independent, March 2s.l
There Is q vast amount of freight
now stopped at various points on the
road between Los Angeles and Its dcs-
tination In this county. The teamsters,
1t appears, were taken with n panic In
regard to the epizootic, and. without
waiting for all attack, unlocked their
teams from their wagons and started
to Los Angeles. The failure in the ar
rival OF this freight will prove a seri-
Gus Inconvenience In many cases, II
delayed much longer, as it Is likely
to be.
We believe that every horse and
mule In the county has been afflicted
with the prevalent disorder, but 1t has
proved fatal In only a few cases. All
appear to be recovering, and without
secondary attacks, business Of all
kinds, interrupted by the disease, will
soon 90 OH Us before. Many persons
are complaining Of a disease generally
considered the ~epizootic. 1t has prov
ed quite severe In some cases, but fatal
In none.
The northern stage line. which for n
short time was interrupted In the regu-
larIty of Its trips by the epizootlc. Is
again running on time and conveying
passengers as usual. The southern
line. more recently attacked, declines
to take passengers at present, but 1t is
not likely this will bc the case for
moro than a week or 80, at the most.
