He sat a few moments, as if ruminating upon this new theme, and then said gently to his wife: "Read out of Good Book to Oonomoo." Fluellina drew a small Bible from her bosom, one that she always carried with her, and opening at the Revelations, commenced to read in a clear, sweet and distinct voice.

The inspired grandeur, sublime truths and glorious descriptions of that most wonderful of all books thrilled her soul to its center with emotions unutterable; and she knew that the same effect, though perhaps in a lesser degree, was produced upon her husband.

The particular portion was the twenty-first chapter, whose meaning the Moravian missionary had frequently explained to her, and it was these verses in particular upon which she frequently dwelt with such awed rapture: "'And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, "'Having the glory of God; and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; "'And had a wall, great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
"'And the building of the wall of it was of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
"'And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones.

The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; "'The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
"'And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
"'And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
"'And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day; for there shall be no night there.'" The dim, vague glimpses afforded him from this and other portions of the book of the awful mysteries of the Last Day, the New Jerusalem, and the great white Throne, threw a spell over him which remained long after the words of the reader had ceased.

Full ten minutes, he sat, after the volume had been closed; then raising his head, said: "The sun is getting in the western sky, and Oonomoo must depart." The wife did not seek to detain her husband.
