( q THE> SHADOWS or LIFEs4e-0n every
side OF us, as we progress through the
world, there arc shadows, but We may
avoid them, if we choose, or make only
such use of them, as the weary traveller
makes of'tlie. Shade where he reposes from
the too scorching rays of the, sun. Dark
peSs has its uses as well as light, univcr-
sal nature being mqdS up of friendly ex-
tremcs. The essential condition, by which
we recognize any object is its contradiction
to some other object somuch this being the
case that We know light by darkness truth
by fatschood, beauty by homeliness, and
joNby sorrow. 4 These facts prove the in
/ ftinlte wisdom with Which God has orti;lin-
tcd all existing things, and even faint re-
| cognlton of lis over-ruling' wisdom can
not fail to assure us that the shadows of
life have their use. They make it as a long
avenue between trees tho centre a broad
strip f'glorious light, and on. each side
| gloomy masses of darkness; but there is.no
need OF losing our way, and We can march
up lies broadayenue, as proudly 1s the
Roman copqucror parched up to the tenn
pie ct Jupiter, through tho streets of the
Eternal City.
ErESlNG.-Therc are two periods in tho
life OF man, in which the evening hour is, ne.
cularly Interesting; youth'and old age. in
youth we love its mellow moonlight, its mil.
lions of stars. tssoothing shade md sweet
sefepity.. Amid those scenes, we can com
mune with those we, love, and twine the
wrcoth of friendship, white thorc are none to
bear witness. hut the gorgeous heavens aud
| spirits that hold their endless Sabbath there.
we look abroad on creation, spread in The
siumber of q moonGg Gghtseene around; aud,
! wrapt III contemplation, fancy wes see and
hear the waving wings and melting songs of
| other and purer worlds. IL accords with the
| light flow of youthful spirits, the feryenoy OF
fancy. and dthe softer feelings of the .heart.-
'lSVening is also delightful to virtuous ages
1T affords hours Of un,listurbed thought. 1t
seems an emblem af the calm and trafiauil
close OF n busy life, serene andmild with the
Impress of its great Creator enstamped upon
1t, ltspreadS its quiet wings above tho grhe,
and seems that all shall be peace beyond it.
