The day has been full of fret and care, and our hearts have been so full of bitter thoughts, and the world has seemed so hard and wrong to us. Then, night, like some great loving mother, geatly lays her hand upon our fevered heads and turns owr little tearstaimed faces up to hers, and smiles; and though she does not speak, we kmow what she would say, and lay our hot, flushed cheek against her bosom, and the pain is gone. Night's heart is full of pity for us; she takes our hand im hers, and the little world grows very small and very far away bemeath us, and borne on her dark wings we pass for a moment into a mightier presence than her own, and in the wondrowe light of that great presence all’ human life lies ke .a bark before us, and we know that pain and sorrow are but the angels of God.—Jerome K.
