dim whore he wished to be taken, he
replied, excitedly: ITO the Thames"
The manner and look in which these
words were uttered convinced the man
that all was not right. He drove off,
but not TO the river, as Cowper had
ordered him. He drove up one street
and down another for long time.

scended from the vehicle, entered the
house and went TO his room. Then, in
his returning consciousness, the truth
OF the entire transaction entered his
mind, and he found that he had not
seen the river at all, nor had he
drowned himself. as he intended when
he left the chamber two hours before.
In this occurrence Cowper plainly dis
cerned the hand Of Providence, and

hymn, which will be sung as long as
