Eventide.

In that hour which of all the
twenty-four Is most emblematic OF
heaven, and suggestive of repose,
the eventide, in which Jacob went
instinctively into the fields to medi-
tate-when the work of the day is
done, when the mind has ceased its
tentions, when the passions are lull-
ed to rest, in spite of themselves,
by the spell of the quiet, star-lit
sky-it is then, amidst the silence
of the lull of all the lower parts of
our nature that the soul comes forth
to do this work. Then the peculiar,
strange word of the soul, which the
intellect cannot do-meditation be
gins. Awe, and worship and won
ders, are in full exercise; and love
begins then in its purest form OF
mystic alteration, and pervasive and
underlined tenderness - separated
from all that is coarse and earthly
swelling as if it would embrace all
in its desire to bless, and lose itsell
in the sea of the love of God. This
sis the rest of the soul-the exercise
and play Of all the noble powers.

There is nothing that is more
