Its pleasures, its duties, and its anxieties have passed away. The which alternatelysunshine and the shade, marked its path, have alike disappeared ; and the soft tints of evening are gathered over the sky. The evening of life ! Yes : life has its sun- set hour, its twilight season. The dim eye, the silvered lock, and the feeble step, indicate that the closing period of earthly existence has arrived. How rapid has been the flight of time ! how near must be the approach of eternity ; 6 life's evening.
