Wonders of the Invisible World.

With the higher training of our spir-
itual and the greater reflections Of cur
physical natures, we become convinced
of the reality of the invisible and the
fact that unseen forces are Influencing
and shaping our lives. and going stem
by step, further and further into the
arcana of nature, more and more alive
at each step To its wonders and it's
harmonies.
In listening 20 mandolin touched by

delicate and full Of soul. that the in
visible and the unseen seemed to be
visible and pulsating in waves of celes-
tial music through the room; and yet
in all this exquisite music the vibra-

every snowflake. Every ray of light
sings its morning song, and as il de-
parts at night it leaves a vibration Of
sweetest music behind. We suppose
these facts to be the outcome Of mod
ern science. From whence then, was
breathed into the ear of Shakspere, ex-
all around us, the lines:
There's not the smallest orb which
thou beholdest
But. in his motion, like an engel sings,
Still quiring TO the young-eyed cheru-

Such harmony is in immortal souls.

We see the flash, but never the thing

is teaching that the unseen and inVis-

continuation of the other.
We recognize a law of nature in the
formation and transmission of sound.
If we can hear the hum of the gnat,
SO small as scarcely to be seen. we
can easily believe there is a hum too
refined for our ears. We cannot for
moment believe that the law which
produces those sounds is suspended
just where we can hear no further.
