Upon tho gentle gale,

Upon tho gentle gale,
It's perfume clearly called to earth
A visitor that had it's birth
Mid rainbows in the skies;
For on its neck and on it's breast
An image of the bow did rest
or brightest, richest dyes
Much puzzled was this bird to tell
Wherein the nectar sought did dwell,
And well 1t might be, too;
Tor on her cheek were roses gay,
And on her breast the lily lay,
And lavish fragrance threw.
Tho bird dared not approach too
near,
But lowered close the fair in fear,
And hummed q monotone;
Then, startled by sweet Annie's praise
1t like flash went on It's ways,
And she was left alone.

so much alive that address it, should
enter my room tonight at the very
moment when the soul is leaving the
body. perhaps ! 900 miles away, this is,
indeed, very strange, just as every
thing IS strange in q world of which
we understand not even the first word,
but after all, It shows only that the
soul. the spirit, the breath, the nerv-
Gus and indiscernible force of the sub
tlest part of our nature is able to free
itself from that matter and survive 1t
for an instant. just as the flame of
lamp which we blow out becomes de-
tsched from the wick and floats for a
moment in the darkness.
1 admit that the phenomenon Is an
interesting and astonishing one. but
given the nature of that spiritual force,
we ought to be much more astonished
that 1t is not produced more frequently
and at viii. while in the fullness Of
life.
In any case it throws no light upon
the question. Never has a single one
OF those apparitions appeared to have
the least consciousness OF. a new life
OF an eternal life. a life different from
that it has just left.

Evidently this proves nothing for or

brief apparitions be the first guinness
of new or the last of the old exist
ence.
Perhaps the dead continue 20 live
around us. but fail. in spite of all their
