IF's DARK.-The following beautiful senti-
mcnt is taken from . Meister Karl's Sketch
Book, ;" entitled The Night of Heaven. =
1t is full of touching tenderness: 1t is
dark when the honest and honorable man
sees the re'ult of long years swent cruelty
away by the knaviSh, heartless Adversary
1t is dark when he feels the clouds of sorrow
gather around, and knows that the hopes and
happiness of others are fading with his own
But in that hour the memory of past integ-
ritv will be a true consolation. and assure
him even here on earth of CLEANS of light in
Heaven 1t is dark when the dear voice of
that sweet child, once So fondly loved, is no
more heard around in murmurs. Dark when
the light. pattering feet no more resound
without the threshold. or ascend. step by
step, the stairs. Dark. when some well
known air recalls the strain once oft attuned
10y the childish voice now flushed in death
Darkness : but OILY the gloom which heralds
the day-spring Of immortality and the infinite
light of Heaven"
