beauty Of the heroine he celebrates.
Looking up through the riffs of the coro-
net that encircles her brow, could see
the sky beyond, the great heavens
where all woman's wrongs shall be
righted, and the story of endurance and
resignation shall be told to all the ages.
The rose and the lily in the hand of Jo-
sephine will never drop their petals.
Believe not the recent ISLANDERS upon her
memory. The children of God, whether
they suffer on earth in palaces or in
novels, shall come to that glorious rest.
o heaven, sweet heaven, at thy gate
we set down all our burdens and griefsl
The place will be full Here there are
vacant chairs at the hearth and at the
table, but there are no vacant chairs in
heaven. Tho crowns all worn; the
thrones all mounted. Some talk of
heaven as though it were a very hand
some church, where few favored spir-
it's would come in and sit down on fine
" cushioned seats all BY themselves
and sing psalms to all eternity. No, no!
"I saw great multitude that no man
could number standing before the throne.
He that talked with me had golden
reed to measure the city, and it was
II, 900 furlcngs"- is, 1900 miles
in circumference All heaven is not
a little colony at one corner of Gods
dominion, where mans entrance de-
ponds upon what kind of clothes he has
on his back and how much money he
has In his purse, but q vast empire God
grant that the light of that blessed
world may shine upon US in our last
moment
The first time 1 crossed the Atlantic
the toughest time we had was at the
mouth of Liverpool harbor. We arrived
at nighfall and were obliged to lie
there till tho morning, waiting for the
rising of the tide, before we could go
up to the city. How the vessel pitched
md writhed in the water So some
iineg the last illness of the Christian is
l. struggle. He is almost through the
voyage. The waves Of temptation toss
his soul, but he waits for the morning
At last the light 7dawns, and the tides
of Joy rise in his soul, and he sails up
and casts anchor within the vale.
ais Thine Heart Right?"
Is thy heart right? What question can
compare with this in Importance? II is
business question. Doyou not realize
that you will soon have to go out Of
that store, that you will soon have to
resign that partnership, that soon among
all the millions of dollars worth of
goods that are sold you will not have
the handling of yard of cloth, or
pound of sugar, or penny worth OF
anything; that soon. if a confagration
should start at Central park and sweep
everything to the Battery, it would not
disturb you; that soon, if every cashier
should abscond and every insurance
company should fail, it would not affect
you? What are the questions that stop
this side the grave, compared with the
questions that reach beyond it? Are you
making losses that are to be everlasting?
Are you making purchases for eternity?
Are you jobbing for time when you
might be wholesaling for eternity?
What question of the store is SO broad
at the base, aud SO altitudinous, and so
overwhelming as the question, "Is thy
heart right!''
Or is 1t domestic question? Is 1t
something about father or mother or
companion or son Or daughter, that you
think is comparable with this question
in Importance? Do you not realize that
By universal and memorable law al!
