the water is already seversl feet higher
than it was last year, with the river
still rising. The prospect is, therefore,
that the bigh-water mark Of last year,

"what n beautiful bridge between old ago

and worship, putting himself again side by
side with the infant" remarks Sir Il. Bulwer

Yes, but between It's distant nbutmepts
the bridge OF life has many high and awful
arches, through which tho wild waters dash
and roar In wrath and desolation, Prayer
and worship alone do not sustain these.
Natures solid rocks must lie unshaken be.

grain.
