THE EVENING.

And the evening is beautiful and the
heavens are full of stars, mirroring their
silvery faces in the snow; and the still
woods are jeweled with ice-diamonds, and
waiting waveless the rising moon. And
the northern lights, like zephyrs zoned
with rainbows, are waltzing on the pear
" pavements of the polar sky. And
the mountains look like waves of a sill
very sea, rising heaven-ward to greet the
stars and the sky like sea of molten
SAPPHIRE, with its golden tresses dropping
fondly on the brow of the mountains
il is beautiful too beautiful to shut out
of our sight. Let us all go out of doors
and read few paragraphs in the album
of the heavens. For this armament is
the great album of the Creator, and the
suns are the syllables and the stars are
the letters with which he registers his
\ handiworks. And the first man, on the
first evening of this creation, looked up
into the same sky-record, and tried TO
read the illuminated manuscript of his
Maker. And the generations before the
flood gazed at these same stars; and men
that saw the evenings of nearly a thous-
and years on the earth looked up at
these same golden eyes of heaven, which
now look down on us; and they called
them by name, and by their light they
drove their focks to new pastures in the
old world. And when the fountains OF
the great deep were broken up, and the
windows of heaven were opened, and the
floods came, and long night of darkness
the good man in the ark remembered the
stars that studded the armament in his
boyhood's time, and the names they were
called by the fathers of the human race
f And when the deep, black clouds rolled
t away, they shone again, though floating
over the shoreless waste OF water, with
out compass, chart, or helm. There they
were Just as they were set in the sky Oh
