THROUGH THE CITY,

Ole who listened to the Rev.
Peter TwittyIs sermon on last Sun
day night, in which he beautifully
de'lnee ted upon the human BODY
as the receptacle OF the soul. was
so impressed upon his minl and
heart with the beautiful thoughts
enunciated by the preacher that
he went home to dream through
the s.iil witches of the night of
better and falrer world than this.
The one who had this dream thought
he was standing upon he blnks o.
Il picturesque river, waiting for
boat to come to him from the other
side to ferry hin across to meet
with some who stood on the oppo
site bank waving their haudker-
chiefs in token of approval. He
was alone, but then he was not
alone, for as he sail, an invisible
object appeared to be near and
around him, an object he could not
define, whose influence mellowed
his feelings with unalloye1 pleas
ure. Those on the opposite bunk
appeared 20 be angels, whose faces
revealed the forms of the loved
ones who had preceded him to the
better world. When he swJke the
happy frame of mind that he was
in made him desire many more such
dreams.
