Editors OF Dispatch : Golden light OF
the morning sun streams In az my cnamOeI.
windows. / sit In the wohdrous element
saEing. as ain old NJ. u, OF HarTisonburg
used 10 say, an lfsolsttioa. Through my head
run the lines: .s
Il was a summers evening,
Old Casnsr's work was sa 80 done one,
Was sitting In Tho sun.
Millions invocation, g Hail, holy light
with its truthful aud sublime thougnts'
cnn,es nm from the storebouse OF memory.
In imagination see L'Allegro, the cneef-
full man,
wsere the great sun begins his statc'
And clouds with thousand i.veries digit.
Surely it is not idolatry.to exclaim, with
Milton,
God himself Is light,
And never but IN ,napproached hght
sttSr nWeiI from etcrnity--dwelt there In IhePs
Fright efiuence OF bright essence In create.
Light is not God, but it may be His in
yestiiure, the flash Of His all-seeing eye.
Wonderful phenomenon Far, fat away
the fire of the eyer-burning sun starts the
undulafions Of the lumeniferous ether, and
in q few seconds they are propagatcd to
earth. AS soon as emerge from its sha-
dow in nv diurnal journey these waves
enter nv eye and expose to view all my
surroundings. 1t may be that light, after
all. is nothing but a sensation. An ictus on
the water Of lake is conveyed to the shore
bv waves without the transmission OF the
particles receiving the force. So force APP
Dlied to air causes 1t to unduiate, ana as
soon as its waves reach the ear the sensa-
tion of sound is the effect. In like manner
it may be force and not substance that pass
es from the luminous to the eye.
All the beauty dependent on colors is due
10 light. Milton says 'wisdom is quite
shut out at one entrance" by the loss OF
sight. More accurately we NAV say, Destroy
sight, or put out light, and all visible beauty
ON earth is gone. The flowers are painted
by the pencil OF light. Without it is no
garniture, no adornment. Its wonder-Work.
ing agency on earth gives grand conceptions
OF the beauty and glory OF heavens. Then
we cannot suppose matter to exist in its
SubtleSt forms.
