It cannot be that our life is a bub ble cast by eternity to float a moment upon its waves and sink into nothingness. Else why is it that the high and glorious aspira tions which leap like angels from the temple of our hearts are for ever wandering unsatisfied? Why it i3 that the rainbow and cloud come over us with a beauty that is not of earth; and then pass off to leave us to muse on their love- iness? Why is it that the start which 'hold their festival around the midnight throne' are set above the grasp Of our limited faculties, forever blocking ui with their unapproachable glory '' A.nd, finally, why is it thai bright forms of human beaut) are presented to our view and taken from us; leaving the thous and streams of our affection tt low back in an Alpine torrenl upon our hearts: there is ? realm where the rainbow neve) fades; where the stars will be spread out before lis like us like the islands that 6lumler on the ocean, and where the. beautnui beings which pass before us like shadows will stay forever in oui presence."
