THE UNSEEN VI oRLD.
BY JOHN W. ovERALl-

Won ask me my love ard my darling. With your beautiful eyes n eclipse And their tringes al iearlIi and dropping. As the question just parts your s~eet lips :; aWin we know each other uP wonder
 Where the skies are so cloudiess to-day, And wIll there be bore2l Winter.
 Or sHeeI-seenied Edenish May Or. what would do. dear, without you, Who call me love. darling and sweet, II after the sunset of life here
 We never, ah. never should meet And what would life be uP yond-r
 Though million of friends ssoEl3 be m;ne, nvour kisses no longer should ,erin me And nay lips answered never 10 ttI1e ' ThonasA! the loveliest douoter
 Since the Chris; su5iimeiv and free T-od tbe green vercured helds of Ja1eS, Or ,he pillows Of eeep GAl..ee Know that which you call now the sGaset Is the sunrise of life 10 The scca, As the Day falls asleep n The Darkness And awakes for sui eEisetei goS! There is no such thing as sP wonder.
 The Spiritual World is so near That the plane which IS nearest ,sst toacheS The piare of the mortal just here And N loter comes on.Y to men. Gear. Who with lsve were not n accord, But turned to the tSiliEet of evening. And away from the sun os he LolG You are gaZing just nos oa sa.se:
 No Turner can linn ,its grand hues, No Claude with a glov-tlPp-d pencil Can paint such exquisite Sse~s. There are castles excellIrs the Rhenlsh, With rurre, and dorJon and draw. And Alhambras no Moor Of Granada Ever modeled or Goth ever saw. There are scarieted lakes with;c islands, And forests ibai Is ke any hue, And oceans of opal aud amber,
 And sky riffs of violet blue There are plains all glowing with beauty, And mountains so wAvy and grand = Al. these falnt!s prefgure, my darling, The transcer d2ni Angelic Land There are gorgons ana monsters aroat. too, sn1 PhhSz:>-es :hai sre~ n the clouds, And giants of uea and of women
 Who lie in their Titanic shrouds. Gorgons and phantorrs and giants.
 That symbol the earth bound and base, Whose seif-love set ChzIiiy weeping And hiding her AeautIfui face. Each form is ', aex. my daring.
 And kas been for oeu,u-iec years Each object type of some other
 That to be fouR6 in ihe spheres. This Lesson the symbols ef sunset
 Should impress us wherever we roam Ii we cherish love for all beauty
 We are sure Of beauti:ai home. Like seeks like as so UaHy magnets
 As cycles on cycles sweep on: There are souls that Tash into ;ee morning And souls that care ne1 for the dawn. The despo; of hi little planet
 Wili enter the sphere of ms shame Amid shouts and the plau 9iis of spirits, And lhe hla,e of their busles oi fame. But the good man, or you. liti,e darling. Wlli g,,de past the rlch and the great Of the poor li,tie world 0! their self love, And dwell .a supernal estate. The grander The souls aspiration.
 The granGey tue soal IS built up. The purer ihe river of Life. !ove,
 The sweeter the ursPi.!lnE cap. The bells of ths bridal VII chime there, Earth loves Be renewed and made strong And feAsts. like the typical Cana.
 With music of harp and of song. There Is marriage and siving in marriage, Soui-Unions the Master discerned, Unknown 10 the priests of Iudea.
 And truth that 10 Sadducee learned. As ihe systems and systems Of planets And ihe systems and systems Of suns Roll round and round the Grand Centre, Progressing as each rolls and runs: So onward and up~ard forever.
 And upward and onward for aye, Is the march of angelic Progression
 h an endlessly God brilliant day.
