I rTTCD 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. MAXY KAFFIRS SLAUGHTERED. London Times Makes Public Alleged •‘Ontrngps” That Were >uppressed. In an article on the war in South rica.
