REFLECTIONS.
The night is dark and gloomy as the grave ; A dense and misty cloud of darkness broods Over the earth, no ray of light is seen ; 1 h.ow the stars are there in all their beauty, Sp: sadiug, as is their wont, glad beams around, Ja never-ceasing and resplendent glory ; Yet all is dark and drear— a dismal night. Evea so, when doubts and fears oppress the
FOUI, A cloud of darkness overspreads the mind, i\ ud all the lights of life are hid from view, And Hope herself, with drooping head, grows
pale, And grim Despair outspreads his baleful veil, Till Eaifch, immortal maid, is heard to say — " The shades of night shall flee before the coming day."
