BRILLIANT WEDDING.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:- The sun let
fall softly upon the lovely landscape his
last receding rays, marking the close OF
another day in the lovellest month of the
year.
But why make special mention of this
particular day, or OF the varied magnif-
icence of the natural phenomena by
which we are surrounded? Are the gen.
tie zephyrs blowing more gently? Is
the closing light of day more soft, or the
lute-like notes of the feathered songstsr
as he folds his wings and perches him
self securely tor the night, more pathet-
ic than upon other days7
The disinterested or casual observer
would answer negatively to the above
interrogations; but to the initiated into
the secrets of Hymen's recent conquests,
all has a pleasing significance. The
preparatory steps have been taken; the
guests all with wedding garments on, -
are assembled; the bride is in waiting
the groom and the minister are an

I'VE FOUND A JOY IN SORROW

I've found q joy in sorrow,
A secret balm in pain,
A beautiful tomorrow
OF sunshine after rain;
I've found a branch of healing
Near every bite: spring,
A whispered promise stealing,
On every broken string.
I'ye found glad hosanna
For every woe and wall;
A hand-full of sweet mama
When grapes of Eschol fail.
I've found the Rock OF Ages
When desert Wells were dry,
And after weary stages,
l've found an elm nigh.
An Elm with its GOODNESS,
Its fountains and its shade.
A blessing in its fullness
When buds of promise fade.
O'er tears of soft cOntrIiion
I've seen rainbow light.
A glory and fruItlsn.
So near-yst out of sight.

THOUGHTS OF HEAVEN.

There's not bright and beaming smile,
Which IN this world see.
But turns my heart to future joy
And whispers heaven to me.
Though often here my soul is had,
And falls the silent tear.
There is world where all are glad.
And sorrow dwells not there.
Ineyer clasp a friendly hand
In greeting or farewell.
But thoughts of my eternal home
Within my bosom swell.
A prayer to meet in heaven at last,
No thoughts of parting come.
But never ending ages still
Shall find uJ all at home

WHAT DOES 1T MATTER P

1t matt little where / was born,
Or if my parents were r ch or poor.
Whether they shraa from the cold worlds scOr
Or walked in the pride Of wealth secure;
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,
tell you my brother, us plain as can,
II matters much.
1t matters little how long stay
In u world of sorrow. sin and care;
Whether In youth am called away,
Or live till my bones of flesh are bare;
But whether l do the best l can
To soften the weight OF adversity's touch
On the faded cheek oil my te llow man,
1t matters much.
1t matters little where be my grave,
II on tie land, or in the sea;
BY purling brook, meath stormy wave,
IL matters little or nought to me;
But whether the angel oil death came down
And marks my brow With loving touch,
As one that shall wear the victor's crown,
1t matters much.

The PAST ETERNITY.

Oh, it is fearful. on the midnight couch,
When the rude, rushing winds forget TO rave.
And the pale moon, that throughout the case
meut high
Surveys the sleepless muser, stamped the hour
or utter sllence-it is fearful then
To steer the mind. in deadly solitude,
Up the vague stream oil probability;
10 wind the mighty secrets OF the past,
And turn the ke' OF Time. o, who can strive
To comprehend th-. vast, the awful truth
or the eternity that hath gone by.
And not recoil from the dismIyIug sense
or human impotence? The life OF nan
Is summed in hIrthtays and IN scpulchres.
But the eternal God hath no beginning.
he hath NO end. Time hath been with him
For everlasting. ere the diedal world
Rose from the gull in loveiness-lik- Him
1t knew no source; Ike Him twas uncreuted
What ID 1t then? The past eternity!
We comprehend future without end;
We feel 1t possible that even yon sun
May roll forever; but we shrink amaZad-
We stand aghast when We reflect that time
knew no commencement-that heap age ag,
And million upon million wiihOut end,
And We shall never span the void OF days
That Were, and are not, but IN retrospect.
| The Past Is an unialhomabie depth,
Beyond the span oil thought; lis an elapse
Which hath no ms asurement, but hath been
Forever and forever.
There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some iarrer shore:
| And bright in hraven's jewelied crown
| They shine forevermore.
| There is no death. Tie dust we tread
! Shall change beneath the summer showers
| 70 golden grain or mellowed fruit,
Or rainbow tinted flowers.
| The granite rocks disorganize,
| And feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life,
| From out the vlewless air.
There is death The leaves may fall,
And flowers may fade aud pass away;
They only wait through wlntry hours,
| The coming oil the May.
There is no death. An angel form
| Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best loved things away;
And then we cali them dead
He leaves our hearts all desolute
He plucks our iairest, sweetest flowers;
Trnnsplantcd into bliss. they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones,
Made glad these OF SIN and strife
Sings now an everlasting song,
Around the tree OF life.
Where'rr he sees a smile too bright
Or heart too pure for talat and vice,
| He bcur- II to that world ui light,
| To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave us but 10 come again;
With Joy We welcome them III" same
| Except theiI sin and pain.
And ever hear us, though unseen
| The dear immortal spirits tread:
| For all the bouudess universe
| Is lIie-there are no dead.
