Time came , perhaps , all so soon ! when our thoughts overleaped that . narrow boundary ; when there was ' some one ( very dear , we thought then , r' "ery beautiful , and absolutely perfect ) " wanting to the fullness of our happi. ness ; when we were wanting too ( or l ' . . we thought so , which did just as well ) , at the Christmas hearth by which that some one sat ; and when we intertwin- L ed with ever- wreath and garland of our life that some one's name. t That was the time for the bright , visionary Christmases which have ' long arl en from us to show r . r faintly , after summer rain , : in the palest edges of the rainbow ! That was the time for the heatIfied enjoyment - ment of the things that were to be , and never were. and 'ot the things that were so Teal in our resolute hope that it would be hard to say , now , what realltios achicv d since , have been stronger ! What ! Did that Christmas - mas never really come when we and the priceless pearl , vho was our ) 'O\\llg choice were recelvod , after the happiest - piest of totally hnpossibie " " .1arrlages , by the two united . .am Ul os provlously at dag- ' : t gors.drawn on our account ? When brothers and slstors- ] in.law who had alwa's been rather cooi to us before our " relationship was effected , "t ' 110rfectl ) ' doted on us , and - when fathers and mothers . overwhelmed us with unllm. ited Incomes , Was that I Christmas dinner never real- r. h' eaten , after which we It arose , and generously and eloquently rendered honor r to our late rival , present in the company , then and there . exchanging friendship and forgiveness , and founding an l m 1t , < t : : , ; , , : . _ _ _ lJiUHH'U : 111 un'\jl , UI' J\UIlII111 Ii' star ) ' , which subsisted untll death ? , Has 11lat same rival long ceased _ to care for that S:11110 : priceless pearl , and married for money , and be- I como usurious ?

It is in the Jast virtues ospeclally , that we are , or should bo , strengthened by the unaccompllshed visions of our ) "outh ; for , who shall say that they are not our teachers to deal gently oven with the Impalpable nothings of the earth !
