a Beautiful Sentiment.

Shortly before his departure for India
the lamented Heber preached a sermon
which contained this beautiful sentiment:
"Liie bears us on like the stream of
mighty river. Our boat glides down the
narrow channel through the playful
murmuring of the little brook, and the
winding of its grassy borders. The trees
shed their blossoms over our young heads,
the flowers on the brink seem to offer
themselves to our young hands; we are
happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at the
beauties around us-but the stream hur>
ries on, and still our hands are empty
Our course in youth and manhood is
along wilder flood, amid objects more
striking and magnificent. We are ani-
mated at the moving pictures Of enjoy
ment and industry passing over us, we
are excited at some short-lived disap>
pointment. The stream carries us on,
and our joys and griefs are alike left be-
hind us. We may be shipwrecked, we
cannot be delayed, whether rough or
smooth, the vessel hastens to its home,
till the roar of the ocean is in our cars,
and the tossing of the waves is beneath
our feet, and the land lessons from our
eyes, and the floods are lifted around US
and we take our leave Of earth and its in
habitants, and on our further voyage there
is no witness, save the "Infnite ant
Ete-ual."
