In each of these instances a

Stream of Life.

Life bears us on like the current OF n
mighty river Our boat ut first glldes
down the narrow channel. through the
playful murmurings of the little brook
and the windlngs of It's grassy borders,
The trees shed their blossoms over our
young heads; the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves TO our young
hands; we are happy In hope, and we
grasp eagerly at the beauties around
us, but the stream hurries on. and still
our hands are empty. Our course In
youth and manhood is along wider
and deeper flood, amid objects more
striking and magnificent. We are AMI
mated by the moving pictures of en-
joyment and industry passing before
us: we are excited by some short lived
disappointment But our energy and
our depression are both in vain. The
stream bears us on, and our joys and
griefs are alike left behind US.
We may be shipwrecked-we cannot
be delayed Whether rough or smooth
the river hastens to its home till the
roar OF the ocean Is In our ears and
the tossing Of the waves Is beneath our
feet, and the land lessons from our
eyes, and the foods are lifted up
around MS, and we take our leave OF
earth and lis Inhabitants until of our
further voyage there is no witness save
the infinite and eterDai.-Exchange
