And soon before my raptured sights glorious vision
rose:
I thought, while numbering on my couch in mid-
night’s solemngloom,
I heard an angel’s silvery voice, and radiance filled
my room.
A gentle touch awakened me; a gentle whisper said,
“Arise, 0 sleeper, follow me." and through the ‘alr
we lied;
We left, the earth so far away that like a speck it
seemed,
And heavenly glory, calm and pure. across our path-
way streamed. . '
Still on me went; my soul was wrapped in silent ec-
stacy: ' - .
I wondered what the end would be, what next should .
meet mine eye.
I knew not how we Journeyed through the pathless
, fields of light,
When suddenly a change was wrought, and I was '
. clothed in White. ‘ '
We stood before a city's walls. most glOl'ionl to be-
bold; ’
We past through gates of glistening pearl o’er streets

mic Lord was there, the Lamb itself the

But where are all those radiant stars that
crown should shine 7
Yonder thou seest s glorious throng, and stars on
every brow;
For every star they led to me they wear a jewel now,
And such fir right reward bed been ifsneh hadbsen
thy dee .»
If thou hadst sought some wandering feet in paths of
peace to lead. .
Thou wert not called that thou should tread the way
of life alone, ,
But that the clear and shining 1

Should guide some other weary feet to my bright
home of rest,
And thus, in blessing those around, thou hsdst thyself

The vision faded from my sight, the voice no longer

A spell seemed brooding o’er my soul which long I
feared to'break. ’

That yet some sinner I might tell of J esue’ dying love.

six months athome. ‘ He looked older, was
paler and ' thinner, and there was a sin-
gular intonation in his voice which puzzled
me. ‘To cover his speedy retreat, he went to
the bookcase, gave a melancholy smiled of

“There is Something touching about that
young fellow,” said my lord Dewey.
“Enough to make you patronize him i” I
asked. ,
“Take care, Charles,” said Béss, “in speak-

flashed fire—hard gray eyes as they were. ' I
had a sudden creeping, electrical ‘ n,
and looked out of the Window to see if sunb-

Bess was evidently thinking of other 'mat—
ters; she did not hear him, I believe, for she
asked, with his last word, what he meant by

- “He has been subjected to some test,which

“Have you left the law for physics, Mr.

tertook his newspaper. WhenEdward he!
reached the spot remotest from me, Mr.
Dech followed him, and plunged him into
a conversation. As I was not within hear:
ing, I took a book. When we were called
to supper, Edward took his hat to go, but
was persuaded to 'stay, my mother adding
the inducement that.Mr. Dewey would stay.
“For this‘onceeyes,” he assented.
As this'was the third time-in the week he‘
had supped with us, I thought his ,consent
gracious,,and_ was; about to about to say so.
but he put his finger on his lips, and I did
not say it. Apparently Edward grew more
and more resigned to his situation; for
when we returned to the parlor, he took a
chair in the window where Bess was. I saw
her pretty head incline towards him,~and
saw him bend over her. '
“She isgoing to be good to him,” I thought.
“His hair hasn’t improved a bit, that is a
fact; and how short he is beside-1’ _ I in-

My cheeks burned as I looked at Edward;
“Ob, Mr. Hall! ' Good evening.” .
“Did not at first recognize you, Mr. Hall.”
Bowing slightly, he answered with a few
words; and I perceived, what I had not be-
fore noticed, that he had a aelf-possesion pe- ed at the incongruos intimacy of Mr. Dewey boat—a little way—out of ”my. way a" '

“I haVe abad (told, my dear, and. must be ‘

'Mr. Dewey was already at the pianoand
playing, with one finger, an opera air.
“Have you studied since I lei! i” asked
Edward, standing before me.‘ “I, from are-- .
cessity,_hsve been trying the piano, and
never had struck theke‘ys without thinking
of you, of- your friendship, your faith in me.
“You really play on the piano, then,” I ‘
“Play something, then,” said Mr. Dewey,
springing from the stool.
Edward waived him away, and con-
tinued : ' ,
"‘I have been composing songs for a music
publisher—cash affairs mostly.—now and
then one with something Of the master-feel-
ing in it. I try my voice too; that is a poor
organ. I doubted whether I should ever
strike a note in Carthage; if you wish it, I
will sing.” .
“If these 'fools were not here,” I muttered.
- “Where is your courage? What, indeed,
has given it to me just now i”
As he went to the piano, Mr. Dewey gave
a significant frown at the talkers, and there
was a polite sil'ence. . A .
The musical expression that followed was
a passionate one; a recitative nearly, in
spite of the measure. Though, Edw'ard’s
voice wasnelther thrilling nor powerful, it '
was managed with perfect taste, and the
chords deepened the words. Two facts
were defined in my mind at once. One was
that born musician_'as he was, I had not
- a
‘ known it, for all my fins; and the other, that
he had taught me my humble part as his,
friend and adviser. I fell into a dream: the
words of the song, the'fiashing movement of
his handsome bands, removed me from his
personality, and placed me in a world where
images alone could survive in the sweet tu-
multuous ethereal stmbspbere. Re’ality dies
