A moment: passed ~ and be had grasped his

While the aged woman stood on the porch,
following him withf her eyes, be turned his
steps towards the road.
But a form stood in the path, the form of
4 young woman, clad in the plain costume
4f a New Englanai girl. Do you 10101 d a

And yet there was something that chained
YOur eye to her fade; and made your heart

Soul, which shone from her eyes and glowed'
upon her palid cheek.: It was the deep,

We look fur the Enthusiast crUale

arms folded across .his breast. It is very

lu hle's darkest, loneliest and saddest
hours, a hen every vestige of comfort is hit!
front the rhatilvd lieu, and deep despair is
settling down upon the oppressed, over
tasked spirit—then will this bright feeling
come stilly and silently over the soul, sooth
ing and softening oar - griefs, till its balmy
influence is felt, and the troubled spirit
sinks Tutu tranquil peace. Or when loved
friends arc ruildessly torn from us, :and
wrapped in the mows shroud, and laid in

imluence of a c,barm, which, like an angels
N‘ing, will subdue the boisterous grief, and
give that resignation and hope to the'spint
which the world in its anxious bustle-and
turmoil never did, nor ever call bestow 2
• Again, when separation occurs, and those
apouud to. whom the heart clings with loud
and enduring affection are removed front
our- view, when months-and years will int
puse upon us an absence, the thought of
which will. cause the affections to repine
and the heart to murmur, when we conjure
up ten thousands of imaginary evils which
easy occur to or harm our dear ones, then
will this same ever:consoling sensation come
over us, and the heart will confide its treas
ure, with it thankful trust; into the keeping
of Hun who doth all thino-s well.
What these shadows are, i's beyond the
power of human knowledge to affirm ; they
are not of oink! there is nothing grovelling
or earthly in their sensations; it is as if it
it --re partial of heaven sent down to give
rchan e , upon the Almighty arm.
tiftt a v.litai struggling along, buffeting
tin :storms and cares of this dark, sorrow
ful world, lots cue of these blessed iisions of
happiness come stealing o'er my wearied
soul, lifting from it the burden, and filling
the mind with joy and heavenly pence: and
again it seems like a visible presence with
which my mind might hold aetind columnn
ion., and rejoices in the society of a kindred
spirit. Such blessed realities of happiness
are to one like a bright oasis in the desert of
life, to which the soul reverts back as to a
why-mark in his journey ; and they are the
more delightful; that they etude upon us so
unexpectedly and insensibly ; when toiling_
. with the crosses and luses which are ever
tbe accompaniments of mortal existence,
how refreshing are the bright visions which
silently bear us away lb the far-off land mid
gite us a foretaste of heavenly bliss.
Then we can joyfully struggle on with
dipensations . of sorrow and grief, and even
kiss the chastening hand. NVe can resign
loved ones to the. mansions of death, assured
that they sleep not there, hut are beatified
a; gels in the presence of the great Eternal.
We eau smile when we bid farewell to loved
n.. ones, and see them go forth with en un
troubled eye, fully assured that we shall
meet, again ; if not on earth, surely we shall
meet .111 heaven.
And may not those visions=these sweet
enjoyments of happiness—be the inter
change of thoughts with the spirits of the
blest 1 It is so spiritual, so devoid of all
selfishness, that it cannot be otherwise. if
friends We love on earth are taken from our
view, why may they not be permitted to emu
flirt and Oteer us along the dark pathway •
which we are doomed to travel in sadness
nbd tears? St. Paul says "arc they notall
Ministering spirits?" Each heart replies,
id fervent, truthful belief, They are su ! we
feel it—it is \nu intuitive belief; an inborn
principle; and•dear is it to each bereaved
and sorrowing heart. With this cheering
hope of constant, present communion, we
could each one loyfully look forward to the
time when we tab should lay aside our cum
beiing bodies of mortality, and mount, free
;Ind - difomhodied • spirits, into the dime
