BY EMMA ALICE BROWNE.

When the vail of the temple is riven-
The curtain of cloud, as of old
Down the infinite vistas of even
In surges of crimson and gold,
Thro' the wide open gate-way of Heaven
The glory of sunset is rolled
And 10 in the crystalline spaces,
With the rose flush of Eden aglow,
In the high, inaccessible places
Where only best spirits may go,
| see the ineffable faces
That vanish from earth; and know,
Where ever their dust may be sleeping,
The dear ones we lose and deplore,
Beyond the vain striving and weeping
In the land where they weary no more,
Their spirits sweet vigils are keeping,
For us, when the long day is DER!
o, frail are the walls that divide us,
And the dim doors stand ever ajar
And safe thro' the ills that betide us,
Cntrammelled by fctter or bar,
Gods angel shall lead us and guide us
To the land where our lost treasures are

lie WAS Ill lONc, 100, poor soul.
Deeply and earnestly in love. He
went back to that old desk by the
same window through which he had
seen the ivy-clad wall more than a
year before and worked there patti
emily, honestly, the dear old friend,
until Benny came this morning to
tell me OF his death. His literary
work during this latter period | have
not dared to look upon yet, but now
the moment has arrived when
must; and, yet, even while that aw-
full word, U9HsL is grinning down at
me from between the teeth OF Duty,
| fear to open the little bundle of
papers and let you read with me
what Poor Phincas had to say to his
soul when his heart had lost all hope
of gaining the loyc Of men on earth
that he struggled and prayed for at
the gates of Heaven. All these bits
were written, suppose, during the
life of his passion for the girl, whose
heart is stricken sorciy today, l
guess. Therefore they will consist
mainly Of love-songs, doctrinal theo-
ries Oh marriage and its relation to
our human welfare, sermons on the
household felicity question, and ar
gumcnts b1V and coz in reference to
suitable matings and compatibility
in the natures Of the contracting par
tics.
None of them may be worth past
ing down, Of that | will Judge here
after, but | must not hesitate any
longer OF dctain you further with
my own unscasoncd talk when Phin-
cas- Ovens bright and highly spiccd
phrases are gasping for sunlight and
revelation beneath the folds of the
huge envelope that contains his last
'etIusions," the final pages of his
too-short life, and that will eventu-
ally wind my own dcsultory papers
up and cause me 10 give over this
space, my words and his and scnsi-
BE Bcnny's have occupied in these
columns lately, to something you
will like better, or worse, maybe;
who knows? Tastes change now-a-
days as they did in Crusoe's time
and ever will. Oh! the invctcrate
Changcablencss of human nature.
Cold to-day, warm tomorrow; sweet
this week, bitter the next; yet, at
some time to float upward on the
surface, smooth, unrufflcd, placid,
and highly agreeable to every ser
sitiEc chord and measure in the
whole human volume of song and
action. Heaven grant, that these
closing pascs of my narrative may
have fallen upon the above auspi-
cious time, that when l may shortly
try to say farewell, those with whom
| part will have kindly glance TO
bestow upon me, and will be further
prompted by their hearts to murmur
something about the latch string be-
ing always out, as our quaint ances-
tors used to in days of powdered
wigs and silken waistcoats,

and asked him: "You say that the grave
yard is consecrated ?" Yes, your Ma

secration go?" The priest, somewhat
puzzled, replied: "Five feet" Cali
right, then; that officer shall be buried
six feet under ground. He will then be
one foot outside your jurisdiction"
