THE OTHER WORLD.

1t lies around us like cloud,
A world we do not see,
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring US there to see.
Its gentle breezes fan our cheek,
Amid our worldly cares;
Its gentle voices whisper love.
And mingle with our prayers.
Sweet hearts around us throb and beat
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the vail between,
With breathings almost heard.
The silence, awful, sweet, and calm,
They, have no power to break
For mortal words are not for them
TO utter or partake.
So thin, so soft, SO sweet they glide,
So near to press they seem.
They lull rs gently to our rest,
They melt us into dream.
And in the hush Of rest they bring
'Tis easy now to see,
How lovely and how sweet a pass
The hour Of death may be;
To close the eye, and close the car;
Wrapped in trance of bliss,
And, gently drawn in loving erms,
To swoon to that--from this
Scarce knowing if vie wake or sleep.
Scarce askiug where we arc,
To feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow aud all care
ss'crt souls around US. watch us stills
Press nearer to orr side;
Into our thoughts, into our prayerH
With gentle kclpings guide.
Let death between lis be as naught,
A dried and vanished stream;
Your Joy be the reality,
Our suffering like the dream.

The lips and checks were tiuged with red; the

sunken, bore no traces of disease. The funeral
services, which took place in the main psrlor,

The CHOLERA IN PITTsBURG.-Tae first
fatal case OF Asatic cholera in the vicinity O:
Pittsburg, that of Mrs. Mooney, was quickly
followed by two other deaths, her husband, Mr.
Mooney, and Mrs. Ward, who visited Mrs
Mooney about the time or soon after her death,
being the second and third victims. The dura-
ton OF the disease in the first case was seventy
I've hours; in the second, forty-six hours, and
IN the third, less than twenty-four hours. The
residence of Mr.. Mooney was at a point on the
river road, about five hundred yards beyond the
city limits of Pittsburg; and It is a somewhat
remarkable fact that the first case of cholera in
the same region in 1855 occurred in house be-
tween Moneys residence and the city line,
and that 1t was the precursor of not less than
twenty deaths from cholera IN the immediate
vicinity within week. Preparations are being
made for similar outbreak this year, as the
Pittsburg board of health has instructed its
sanitary committee to procure a temporary
structure to be used as hospital for the care
OF patients 1t appears to be the general sup
position that the germs of the disease were es-
tablished during Mrs. Moneys visit to Cadiz
junction, Ohio, from which place she had re-
turned about two days before active sickness
commenced, but the neighborhood in which
her residence was located seems to have been
well calculated to increase her danger.
