There are passions that wear themselves out, that are by their very nature self-destroying a lighted candle that will burn for a given time, and then die out with ignominious smoke and sputtering, not the supernal lamp that shines on, star-like, for ever. Solitude and reflection brought this fact home to Clarissa, that her love, fatal as it had been, was not eternal.

Every day for more than thirty days she went into the garden. Her mother often told her that she would make Apollo angry, for he shines brightly so as to hide himself from people on the earth. "Clytie! Clytie!" her mother would call, "come in and take your sewing." But Clytie never would obey. Sometimes she would answer: "Oh, mother, let me stay. He was so beautiful. I have no heart for work."

Press through the gloom, to where the daylight shines! Sing on among the stones, and secretly Feel how the floods are all akin to thee! "'Drink the sweet rain the gentle heaven sendeth; Hold thine own path, howeverward it tendeth; For, somewhere, underneath the eternal sky, Thou, too, shalt find the Rivers, by-and-by!" Faith's voice trembled with earnestness as she finished.

The place where the pole caught her, however it was its lighted end shines and glows to this day: the centre of her little heart. 'Do let's be careful, pleaded Jimbo, hardly approving of these wild gyrations. He really did prefer his world a trifle more dignified. He was ever the grave little gentleman.

A. Yes; rain, and the assistance of Almighty God. Q. What is the moon? A. That object which is placed in the sky, and shines in the night, and appears larger than the stars. Q. What do you mean by the stars? A. Those bright objects that appear in the sky at night. Q. What are they? A. Some of them are worlds, and others are suns to give them light. Q. Who placed them there? A. Almighty God.

I knew your soft heart would not be able to resist the thought of the delicate throat! Well, dear, if you are willing, so am I. I am glad to make hay while the sun shines, and lay by a little provision for the children. How will they take it, do you think? They are accustomed to strange boys, but a girl will be a new experience.

In a word, by the vision of God, she is made a partaker of the divine nature, and, like a very god, she shines unto all eternity in the divine brightness. A diamond, carefully cut and perfectly polished, glitters and shines in the sun with exceeding brilliancy. It not only reflects the light, but also absorbs it into itself, so as to shine even in the dark with the light it has absorbed.

The sun shines on the commencement of our journey; forward over flowery fields, by hedges alive with song, through ever-verdant forests! Let one horizon succeed another! The day is so lovely, and the night yet so distant! While thus occupied with my newborn happiness, I had risen and joined Marcelle, who had already taken possession of her domestic kingdom.

His son lies dead before him; Within his tent all woefully He sits alone in agony, And drops one hot tear o'er him. And so, with true affection warm, The Count our lord we love; Himself a mighty hero-swarm The thunders rest within his arm He shines like star above! Farewell, then, ye who take delight In boasting of your worth!

And stood by me under the silent stars, when he shared my prayers, my hopes, for the future. "That old bald head stands up on the most sacred height of my heart, like a beacon; the glow of the soul shines on it; love gilds it. And do you s'pose any other feller's head on earth could ever look so good to me as that duz? Do you s'pose I will ever have it repaired upon? never! I won't repair him.
