Thoughts Suggested by Re@ Hing NHrs
 L. D. Smiths Letter,

Many profitable lessons can be learn- ed from Mrs l.. D. Smiths letter by fol- lowing out the different lines of thought suggested. We call attention to a few o; the prominent ones.
 1.-The value of sympathy and how greatly it is prized by those in afaiction
 Ave are apt to think there is no such sorrow as ours. but if we will only look around us we will often find per- sons in deeper af1iction than ourselves.
 3.-Evidences of mortality. Physi- cians cannot save life; their greatest skill and knowledge enables them only to prolong it. While Dr Smith visited the hospitals, viewed the evidences of mortality and added to his rich store of medical knowledge. Mrs Smith visited the art galleries, museums and cathedrals and looked upon the handi- work of celebrated painters, who lol g since have gone the way of all the earth. She stood beside the tombs of kings, queens, emperors, empresseA poets, painters, musicians and scholars.
 4.-The perishableness of all things earthly, "The lapse of time, the ruth less hand of ignorance, and the devasta- tions of war, have laid waste and destroy ed many valuable monuments of an- tiquity, on which the utmost exertions of human genius have been employed. "
 5.-Immortality; which is so beauti- fully portrayed by the pen of the late George D. Prentice, in the following words:-
 It can not be, that earth is mans only abiding place. It can not be that our life is bubble, cast up by the ocean of eternity, to float another moment upon it's surface, and then sink into nothing ness and darkness forever. Else why is it that the high and glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts, are forever wandering abroad. unsatisied? :? Why is it that th., rainbow and the cloud come over us with beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us to muse on their faded lovliness Why is it that the stars, which hold their festival around the midnight throne, are set above the grasp of onr limited faculties, and fer ever mocking us with thelr unappr0ach. able glory And. finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty are pre- sented to the view, and then taken from us leaving the thousand streams of the affections to flow back in an Alpine tor re 1t upon our hearts We are born for higher destiny than that of earth There Is realm where the rainbow nev CT fades; where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that slum Der on the ocean; and where the beau tiful beings, that here pass before us like visions, will stay in our our pres ence forever.
