Night in the North.

1t is the shortest day - the longest
night of the year. Tonight the sun
reaches its southern meridian, pauses in
the mighty sweep, and tomorrow he will
turn his face TO the north again
That it is that which relieves the
Somber contemplation of the longest
night''-that it is the limit-that now
from day to day henceforth we may
watch the great orb grow in his daily
circle of the sky. rather than to shiver
as we feel him diminish and withdraw.
To be sure. the SILVER is also matter
largely of theory and imagination for
the compensation of the stars and the
white silence is here to minimize the
sense of loss in the retreating day.
Now as we contemplate the beauty of
the northern winter night we have the
added satisfaction of knowing that the
sun tomorrow will rise little higher
than yesterday it did. We know that ii
will continue SO, until presently its light
will lie upon the hills the whole span
through. and Danish utterly the dark
ness through which we now grope. and
under its influence the birds will return,
and even the highest peaks of the noun
tains will spangle with spring flowers.
1t is because of the meaning that this
longest night has to people of the north
it has been suggested that il is a fitting
day--or night-to make of it an annual
feast throughout the north. - Daily
