    Are there such on the earth , and where ? I know not if there he ; but I know that there might be . I know that it is no dream which has entranced my sense : it is a vision , and not a dream . It is a vision of that which shall be done , if , indeed , it be not at this moment fulfilled in some

    bright region of some Christian land . It is the winding up of that tale which the years of our life unfold . These are the messengers of God , commissioned thus to speak to such as will hear . One by one they approach to take up the narrative , and leave no pause . When their circle is completed , their swelling chorus of thanksgiving on man ' s behalf visits and cheers the contemplative spirit that keeps watch beside the sepulchre .

    I will rejoice , therefore , not only in the holy repose of this star-lit plain , but in the destiny of those who are watching or slumbering in its dwelling ?? . There may yet be presences in yonder wood which may sanctify it from the defilements of murder . The time may come when an infant may sleep at midnight in its shades as securely as the cushat in its native tree . The time may come when the hewers of wood and the drawers of water

    may prize the Sabbath repose of the body , chiefly because it aids the activity of the mind . Let me trust that even now the tumults of passion have been stilled , the intrusion of low cares forbidden , as the silent night descended upon every threshold ; that there are no stirrings but those of piety and love , —of the wakeful spirit that prolongs its Sabbath devotions , or of the mother above the pillow of her child .

Such is the question discussed in these pages ; and many of our readers will doubtless ask , what can be the use of discussing it also in the pages of the Monthly
