THE LAST HOUR.

To all things beneath the sun there cometh a last hour. Time, like a rapid flowing river, is fast hastening toward eternity, with a majestic flow, and will soon be lost in the mighty gulf, bringing the last hour to all things that are mortal; moment follows moment in quick succession—day presses after day—year treads upon year, closing earthly existence at every breath. Behold them, as they move along in a silent, solemn procession, witnessing the last hour to our fellow-beings at every step!

All our joys, grief, pain, pleasure, smiles, and tears, will find their last hour. To us who are now living it will be of the greatest interest; our souls will be on the final verge of time, ready to step on the threshold of eternity. What can be of deeper interest to us than the approach of the moment which to us will be the boundary between time and eternity, which closes our existence in this world, and begins our eternal, never-ending existence in the world unknown to us!—Orphan's Friend.
