Doddridgo had been spending the evening with his friend, Dr. Watts. Their conversation had been concerning the future existence of the soul. long and earnestly they,pnrsued the theme, and both came to tho conclusion that it could not be that they were to sing through all otOnity ; that each soul must necessarily be an individual, and have its appropriate employment for thought and affection, As Doddridge walked home, his mind brooded over these ideas, and took little cognizance of outward. matters. In this stair, he laid his head upon the pillow, Old fell asleep Ile dreamed that he WAS dying. Ile haw his weeping friends round his bed, and he wanted to sPeak to them, but could not Presently there came a nightmare sensation His •soul was about to leave his body ; but how would it getout.'

Ills friends wept around the mortal covering but could not see ft,ni While he was reflecting upon this, he passed out of the room, he knew not how, but pies end; found himself floating over London as if followed on a cloud, born by gentle breezes.

' Ah, thought the emancipated spirit, "how worse than foolish appears this foolish sernmble ' For what do they tot!, and what do they obtain I" lAdidon passed away beneath him. and he found himself floating over green fields and blooming gardens. ‘• How tti it that lam borne throttgh the air I" thought lie.

He anal: uo more qiie4tions but remained in delicious quietude, as it floated on a strain of music At length they paused before a white marble temple kJ exquisite beauty. the angel gently placed hun on the steps " I thought you were taking me to heaven " said the spirit Thiais heaven," rldied the angel " Thus' assuredly it is of rare betuty, but I could imagine just such built on earth " Nevertheless, it is Heaven," replifd the angel. They entered a tom just within the tem ple. A table stood in the centre, on which was a golden vase, filled with sparkling wine.

When he raised Ins head the Saviour no longer appeared lie turned to ask the angel what this could mean, but the angel had departed also ; the soul 'stood alone in its unveiled presence!

Ile knew them all. They had been always painted within the chambers of his soul : but new, for the first time, WAS the veil removed To thofte .who think on spiritual things this remarkable dream is too deeply and beautiftily e stwitfleant ever to be forgotten.

We re cently heard a most touching instance of the resignation of an affectionate woman, at the funeral of her husband: Though she had adored him, she did not repine at this dark bow. Looking at the remains of her loved and-Met husband-for the. last time, she put on bet bonnet and thus spoke to the gentle men whose sad duty it was to officiate as pall bearers : -You pall bearer* just gb into the loittery and get some rum, and we'll start this man right aloog !'

The world will have the same attrac tione for our offspring yet unborn, that ahe had once for us as children Yet a little while and all will have_ happened. The throbbing heart will be stifled, and we shall be at rest. Our funeral will find its way, and prayers will he said, and thent we shall be left alone in silence and dirk netts for the worms: And it may be for a short time we shall be spoken of, but the things of life will creep in, our names soon be forgotten. Days will continue to move on, and laughter and song will be heard In thoi room in which we died, and the eye that mourned for us will he dried, and glisten again with joy and even our children will crane to think of, and will n o t remember to lisp our names.
