WHAT AND IS j -- x BE6INWKG OF A HIGHER LIFE. i 9 run From One lit tree ef Lire To A not her, Ever Incieiuiny. Main Will io Virtue. It is a birth - into a higher life. It is unfortunate that painting and sculpture should represent death as a hideous skeleton Ar as a spectre wrapped in the wf iding sheet of .the tomb. They should have pi uTed death as a smiling messenger, who comes to man, not to punish or destroy, but to reward and bear away the freed and aspiring spirit to a brighter and happier sphere. Birth ami death are but changes in mans progression. They are exits to other forms and conditions of life. Mai has been taught to look np death on as the King of Terrors a grim inouBter tuat to his existence or end an pats bears him away to endless torment The poets and the prophets of all ages, and the martyrs in every land have been upheld by a living faith, that death is but change or the casting away of earthly elements, that have been brought together to form a temporary dwelling for the eternal spirit. Lamartine expresses this idea in the following beautiful lines on the ''Death of S jcrales To die b nut lo die, in; friends; it is to J change. While, "he lives "burdened bjhie r ljod) here Colow, - . Man towards his God but languidly doth go; Forced hie vile wants to feed, no piu greet makes; Moves with a totiering step, or truth tor aakes. But he who verging cn the end which he does pray Seat glorioua glimpses of the eternal day Like eunaet rays aecending towards the skies, An exile, thence, in Ooa'e own arms he lie, And quaffing eagerly the nectar whh-does rapture give, That day on which be dies be first be gins to live. Victoria the present queen of England, after her husband. Prince Albert, had passed to the higher life, wrote very eloquently under the title Meditations nHui Death and Eternity. She Kays, the terrors with whi.'li we clot h death, come largely from tin erroneous nud revolting description of it given to usThus, it it is sometimes styled deoonioM-tioor corruption; but we do not. speaking exactly, full into eithei one or the other of those states. Borne say that to die is to lenv the world, that lxing in itself impossible. Others dsiiu that death in synonymous with destruction; but we cannot I mi destroyed. No; to die is to return unto our Father Our Buuls merely cast olT garments which do not heroine them, to put on others more worthy of them. Wonderful changes take place in animal life, from which man may learn many lessons. Nature is a kiud mother and wise instructor. How much of death and the awakening to a higher life may mail learn from the caterpillar, that casts away its laxly and lives afterwards a beautiful butterfly. Let us suppose that some higher being than the caterpillar should whisper to it, and Bay you will not always have to crawl in the dust, and lie trodden by the foot of muu. but you will pnss through a wonderful change called death; you will afUrwards lie re: nmvted and become a beautiful creature.
