A 8 Age Advances Darkness ol
Niffht * Grows More Unwelcome.
TWILIGHT HAS LOST ALL ITS CHARM.
Aa Symbol of Evil the Night Is Given
as a Contrast to that Which is
Good—William Quotes Ex
tensively.
I confess that I do not like the night
—except when I am asleep. Of course
I mean the dark night—nor do I go into
raptures' over what we call tho
light—that doubtful light twixt sue
shine and darkness, and that literally
means light cut in two. It seems to
mo tnat these twilights grow shorter
as wegrowolder. When the day >s done
the darkness does seem to fall from
tho wings of night, and we hasten to
light the lamps, for darkness Is never
welcome. It is an Intruder and a sym
bol of every evil thing. We suppose
that night was created as a contrast to
make us enjoy tne day, just as evil
was created as a contrast to that which
is good. The scriptures say no good
thing concerning arkness or night and
when describing heaven say, "There
shall be no night mere.” They tell us
of outer darkness and thick darkness
and the blackness of darkness and
darkness that may be felt. Darkness
was one of the ten plagues that was
sent upon Pharaoh. Job cursed the
day of bis birth and says, “Let the
day be darkness. Let the darkness
and the shadow of death stain it.” Da
vid saith, “Sorrow endureth for the
night, but joy cometh in the morning,”
and tells of the pestilence that walketh
in darkness. The apostles use it as a
symbol of every calamity. Darkness
covered the land when the Savior was
crucified. The devil is called the prince
of darkness. Ancient mythology de
scribes Erebus as the danc cavern
through which the spirits of the damn
ed and wicked dead shall pass on their
way to hell. And Homer writes of a
country called Cimmeria afar beyond
the sea where the sun never shines
and the people live in daritness. Mil
ton describes the darkness of Hades as
so dense that it was visible. Speaking
of evil spirits that haunt mankind, he
says they move in darkness, but fear
truth and chastity. “No evil thing that
wains by night in fog or fi,re—no hag,
or ghost, or goblin damned has hurt
ful power over a chaste and virtuous
woman.” Montgomery says, Night is
the time to weep. Ana Shakespeare
says, “In the dark night imagining
some fear, a little bush apuoAVsv.tjlTbe
a bear.” Young says, "An atneist half
believes in God by night,” and Tenny
son says of himself, “I am but an in
fant crying in the night—an infant
crying for the light.” But this is
enough, and these ruminations were
provoked last night about midnight—
the hour when the deep sleep falleth
upon a man, but not upon a woman.
My wife’s voice awakened and startled
me. She said, “What is it? tV-oisit?
What do you want?” Then she called
me and struck a match and lighted
the candle that was near. "What did
you hear?” saia I. “Somebody is at
the door,” she said, excitedly. “Which
door?” said I. “This one right here—
maybe somebody i sick upstairs,” she
said. Unlocking the door quickly, the
light shone into the room, but nobody
was visible. I examined the room care
fully and then went into the hall and
dining room and parlor and thence up
stairs on tiptoe, but all was suenL
When I returned she said, “Well, I did
certainly hear somebody at that door,
and It waked me, but maybe I was
dreaming. I remember now, I did
have a troubled dream, but please look
under the bed before you put out the
light.” Such is conjugal life and fe
Ucity. For some time I laid awake lis
tening for a noise and ruminailng on
human helplessness during the dark
ness of
I remember when I had an unwilling
fear of ghosts that I woulu not ac
knowledge.. I got fit from the awful
stories that our negroes told to us
children, for there was a fascination
about them that drew me to their cab
ins by night, and 1 listened to their
made-up tales of ghosts and witches
and Jack O’Lanterns and raw head and
bloody bones until I was alraid to look
around behind me. and had to be
guarded to the big house door when
I left. But this childish fear passed
away, and long since I have realized
that there are no spirits to haunt us,
and that “only man is vile.”
My wife is not a timid woman, but
she is cautious, ana wm not consent
for me to keep a pistol in our bed
room for fear I might have a bad
dream and shoot somebody through
mistake. She never sleeps very sound.
A mother who nas nursed ten children
never does, and the cracking of the
paper on the wall will arouse her. She
is happy now, for there is another
grandchild not tar away, and she goes
there every day. Pretends she goes
to help Jessie, but it is really to nurse
and fondle Jessie s baby boy, for the
maternal instinct never dies, and she
has not forgotten the lullabies she
sang to her children in their infancy.
I remember how my aged mother,
when on her last bed, dreamed away
her loving nfe imagining there was a
babe at her breast and whispering a
song to it just before she uied. She
found two in heaven when she got
there. Oh, ye young men who linger
and J est in the sa,00n or arountl tho
^^jarCESK long and
and remember the weary
nights that a mother watched with
you and never complained. Maybe her
spirit is watching you now and yearn
ing over you in the spirit land. For
her sake stop and think and come back
to the innocence of your childnood.
i Aijd there are some little songs that
I, too, remember and can still sing to
the uttle help.ess teething things and
soothe them to sleep as I walk the
room. My little baby songs are stere
otyped in my memory and have been
handed down, tho’ not published or
copyrighted. They are a masculine
medley of “By. baby bunting.” “Hush,
my dear; lie still and slumber, Ju
liana Johnson, don’t you cry,” ‘ Away
; down in shlnbone alley, “And we’ll
pass oyer the Jor dan, ana so forth.
They are ^ j n the same key and in
{he game meter and doV etan into one
> aI10 tber and just go round and round,
. mono tonous and mournful, until the
j cHla has t0 g0 t0 nevertheless, s i e ep to keep it from is a
bearing them;
Iact that j can get a s i C k child to sleep
whlC11 lts m . other , can ’t—and sometimes
away in the dead of night, as I walked
the room in my night shirt, 1 have net
only got the chad to sleep, but the
mother, too.
But I am having some little domes
tic troubles that are disturbing my
tranquility. Night before last I slip
ped the keys off the nail in the back
room and went to the pantry to get
some nice apples 1 had hid away there
for a surprise to the family just before
bedtime. I like these little surprises
and so do they. I found the cat locked
up in the pantry and put her out, and
then pushed the floor to keep her out
while I was getting the apples. It is
a curious drtor lock, for it has no knob
on the inside, and I soon round that
the cat was locked out and I was lock
ed in. I rapped and banged for awhile
for somebody to hear me and come,
but nobody came. Then I knocked
harder and halloed louder, but to no
effect, alien I kicked the door and
made all sorts of a racket, but nobody
came. So I concluded they heard me,
but thought it was good fun to keep
me in prison and give me time to re
flect on my past life and the value of
freedom in this land of liberty. But I
didn’t ponder long on those things. I
was- perplexed, but after awhile
thought of my knife as a screw driver
and soon had the hasp off and was out
of prison. “Didn’t you hear me? I in
quired. “Yes, we heard you knocking.
What were you doing out there?” said
my wife. They thought I was fixing or
mending something, and did not hear
my voice, for there were two rooms
and a hall between us and all the
doors Shut. I distributed the apples
and everything was soon calm and se
rene, but I have an increased horror
of being put in jail and I am going to
behave myself and keep out.
Monday night we heard Mrs. Sheri
dan sing, and L was a feast. We have
known her from her childhood, when
she wore pantaletts and pinafores and
went to school in Rome with my chil
dren. I could not realize that this was
ot ever had been little Sarah McDon
ald who used to play and romp and
scream like other children; but in her
youth she heard a prima donna sing,
and resolved to be a great singer, too.
The Scotch-Irish uiood was in her
veins and she succeeded. Her father
and mother were poor, but that made
no difference. They had faith-rrelig- j
ious faith; Bible faith—and named
their four boys Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John, and their three uaughters,
Mary, Martha and Sarah. Mark and
Luke are living in Rome yet and have
prospered. Sarah chanced to visit Phil
adelphia some years ago and by re
quest sang one Sabbath at a little mis
sion church that was founded by John
Wannamaker. He was there and heard
her and took a great lixing to her and
helped her to visit Europe to have her
voice trained. She soon found other
friends, who nave befriended her and j
lavished upon her their aid and bless- J
ing.
As I listened to her singing those
sweet old Scottish songs I wondered if
there were not many just such female
voices in that audience and all they
lacked was culture and determination.
I recalled Gray’s beautiful lines—
“Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark, unfathomed caves of
ocean bear;
Full many a flower is born to blush
unseen
And waste ita sweetness on the des
ert air."
—Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.
