ANKSGIVING MORN.

With golden CLEANS of sunshine
streaming from the vauiteG arches OF
heavenly orbs we behold the glory
upon every cloud. There in the midst
of our reveries we can fancy the new
Jerusalem in all it's magnificent splen-
dor; indeed, what happiness to see
the gates ajar and gaze for brief
moment upon the grandeur that
awaits US. In the beatific vision of
the blessed we recognize the COM
rades of our youth clothed in white
garments and with palms in their
hands; bathed in halo Of glory their
countenances shone as the sun; COM
paratively, as beautiful as the resur-
rection lilies that have in great pro-
fusion sprung up around them. With
golden harps the celestial choirs
chant the eternal praises of love that
resound throughout the courts of
heaven, ikened to the silvery sound
of musical waters that proceedeth
from the throne of God.
Presently, as our eyes grow accus-
toned to the scene, the 1ar-reaching
vision becomes greater in aspect until
the Garden of Paradise assumes a
loveliness that surpasses the greatest
and grandest of earthly perfections.
Alas! in our desolation and loneliness
the heart yearns to be reunited with
those who are gone; to clasp their
hand and gaze once more into their
eyes where the love-light was once
