And n '-Churchman' down to tho liver catno; When I heard a strnngo voice call hU name, 'flood father, stop; when you cross thM tide, on must le.ivo your mles on tho other sldo." Hut thonged rather did not mind, And hH long gown llo.iled out behind, As down to tho stream hli way ho took, III palo hand clasping n nllt-edged uoolC I'm bound for heaven, nnd when I'm there, I shall want my book ot common l'rnjer! And thongh I put on a stnrry cron n, I should feel nulto lost Ithout my gown." hen ho fixed hit eye on tho shining track, Hut hW gown wni heavy nnd held him back, And tho poor old father t rled In vain, slnglo step In tho Hood to gain. I saw him again on tho other side, Hut his tllk gown Hon ted on I ho tldo ; And no ono asked In that blissful spot, licthcr ho Ijclonaeil to "tho church" or not. hen down to tho river n Quaker str.ty'd, ills drew of n sober hue was made ".My coat and hat mint bo nil of gray, I cannot go nny other way." hen ho buttoned his coat straight up to hU chin, And staidly, solemnly, waded lu; And hU broad-brlmtn'd bat he putl'd down tight Over his forehead, so cold nnd white. Hut n strong wind carried away his hat j moment ho silently slgh'd over that j And then as ho gazed to tho farther shore, tho coat sllpp'd oH and was seen no more. As ho enter'd heaven, his suit ot gray Went quietly sailing away away, And nono of tho angels questional him, About tho width of his beaver's brim. Next camo Dr. Watts with a uundlo of Tsalms Tied nicely up In his aged arms, And Hymns as many, n very wlio thing, That tho people In heaven, "all round," might sing, But I thought that ho heaved an anxious sigh, As ho saw that tho river ran broad and high, And loook'd rather surprt-d as ono by one, Tho Psalm.3 and Hymns lu tho wavc3 went down. And after hlra, with his MSS, Camo Wccley, the pattern ot godliness ; But ho cried, "Dear me, what shill I do? The water has soak'd them through nnd through." And there on the river, far aud wide, Away they went down tho swollen tide ; And tho saint astonlsh'd p.vpd through Jdone, Without his manubcrlpt, up to the throne. Then gravely walking, two saints by name, Down to tho stream together they came, But as they stopp'd at tho river's brink, I saw ono saint from tho other shrink. 'Sprinkled or plunged, may I nsk you friend, How you attained to life's great end?" Thus, with a few drops on my brow," 'But I have been dipped, as you'll sec me now." And I ically think It will hardly do, As I'm 'close communion,' to cross with you, You're bound, I know, to tho realms of bliss, But you must go that way, and I'll go this." And straightway plunging with all his might, Away to tho left his friend at tho right, Apart they went from this world ot sin ; But at last together they entered In. And now when the river was rolling on, A Presbyterian church went down ; Ot women there seem'd n wondrous throng, But tho men I could count ns they pass'd along. And concerning the road, they never could agree, Tho old or tho new way, which It should bo ; Nor ever a moment paused to think That both would lead to tho river's brink. And a sound of murmuring, long and loud, Camo ever up from tho moving crowd : 'You're in tho old way, and I'm In tho new, That is tho false, and this Is tho true," or, "I'm In tho old way, and you're In tho now, That Is tho false, and this Is tho true." Hut tho brethren only seemed to speak, Modest tho sisters walk'd, and meek ; And never ono of them chanced to say, What troubles sho met with on tho way, How sho long'd to pass to tho other side, N'or fcar'd to cross over tho swelling tide, A voico aroso from tho brethren then : Let no ono speak hut tho 'holy men ;' For have ye not heard tho words of Paul, 'Oh, let tho women keep silence all I" I watched them long In ray curious dream, Till they stood by tho borders of the stream, Then, Just ns I thought, tho two ways met, But all tho brethren were talking yet, And would talk on till tho heaving tldo Carried them over, side by sldo ; Sldo by side, for tho way was one, Tlio toilsome Journey of llfo was done, And Priest, and Quaker, and all who died, Camo out allko on tho other side. No forms, or crosses, or books had they, No gowns of silk-, or suits of gray j No creeds to guldo them, or JISS., For all had put on Christ's righteousness. SELECT STORY. DICK'S EXPERIMENT. Dick Lvnclifieltl was in the library smoking, with Ins heels .1 good deal lusher than his head, his eyes unseo ingly upon tlio pages of tlio Weekly Jiomancer, nnd his ears strained eatjer ly to catch tlio soiinil of a gill's merry voico on tlio lawn. Uriel, tiutrer and chnurin wore nun gled in JJiek h heart, lie had come down to make ono of a delightful par ty at Oak Dell, willi every reason to believe that ho was the iiivored lover of jirctty Nell Oakley, lie had made no secret of his devotion to hoi, while sho had played him on against that wliite-headed Walter Simmons with tho most engaging air of innocence imaginable. blio was Hilling with him at that very moment over a game of tennis on tho lawn ; and Dick chewed tho end of his cigar vindictively and glared at tho columns of tho Jiomancer. Right lieforu his eyes was tho edi tor s "Answers to Correspondents, and tliu follow ing paragraph suddenly caught his attention : "Nnio. It is just possible that you aro too devoted to tho young lady Girls aro sometimes capricious. A judbious suitor is willing to lot his sweet lii-nrl do a littlo ot tho oourting herself." Diol: straightened himself with a half-smothcrcd exclamation, "What a trump of 11 fellow that ed itor is 1 Wonder if ho has had any ox perienco with girls 1 It's comfortable to know that 'Nemo,' or any other man, is in the same fix that I am. By Goorgo I'll try that prescription. Littlo witch 1 I'll pay her in her own coin." Half an hour later tlio gay party on tlio lawn nivi drilled away tlio gen tlemen, to tlio village, tlio ladies to their rooms. Only Nell Oakley, tho pretty diiugnier or 1110 nosiess, swung to aud fro in the hammock between tho veranda posts. Sho looked up with a charming siniio ns uick emerged li'oin tlio house "I lmvo neon wishing for you, Dick, 1 want a sail down tho river. Will you tako mo 1 I'ora moment Dick was tempted, I.... ...t.,1,.,.1 ..!... 1.. VT. il'.. I ' uuv u wiuavu iu.iui 111 it vun uruwil c-yes recalled his resolution. "I am sorry Nell, but 3 on must ex- ciiso.me. I am going to tho village remap wo win go uowii tlio river to-morrow. Aureaolr!" Ho tossed her tlio roso from his but- ton-holo and sauntered leisurely down tho drive. Nell actually gasped as sho looked ftr-r him. That was a new order of things, to bo sure. (July yivtcrday Uick Jiynchucld would bavo considered a sail down the iver alono with her tho seventh Ilea ven of delight. olio must teach him better nnuncr.s. Ho would surely claim that sail to. nioriow; then she would punish him. 15ut on the morrow Dick had appar ently quite forgotten the matter. Nell watched mm with increased exaspera tion, lie treated her with a cay gal lantry that was very unlike his usual earnest deference. lie did not try to gain a singlo tele a tete with her, ami he flirted outra geously with Helen Durfur. He seemed suddenly to hate acquired a new power ami fascination. Nell wondered that sho had never before noticed how handsome. Dick was, and how pleased tlio other girls wcro with his attentions. Ho had been her'liumblo bI.ivo for so long that sho had ceased to put any special value on his delicate attentions ; but she missed tnem sadly to day, with sur prise and anger at lift, then a gradual sense of pain and fear lest through her own willliilness she had lost him. They were standing together upon tho veranda late in the afternoon, watching a group who were practicing aiciierv upon the lawn. "Dick,' sho said, reproachfully, you wcro to tako mo down tho river to-tlav. "1 declare, so I wasl'' exclaimed Dick in well simulated dismay. "Hotter lato than never, ma msello ! aud then leaning over tho veranda railing, ho called tho others : "Judson, Simmons, Fiske, and ladies, what do you say to a sail down tho river? Tho moon will be up by tho time we re turn." His proposal was hailed with ac clamations of approvnl, and ten min utes later they all went trooping down to the shore. As for Nell, she was ready to cry with disappointment, for sho had ex pected to regain the lost ground in a quiet sail with Dick, but it was very evident that he thought nothing at all of being alone with her. bho had lost him now, all through her own foolishness. And worst of all, sho must keep up a bravo front for it would never do for her to mope in tho presenco of her guests. Not 0110 of the party was so gay and bright as Dick ; ho laughed, and sang, and told stories, and Nell looked, and listened, and smiled, with a growing pain and dreariness in her heart. They camo home through tho moon light, "Nell walking silently with down cast eyes at Dick's side. IIo looked at her palo cheek and said tenderly, yet with a certain light undertone : "Tired littlo girl V Nell laughed nnd did not look up lest '10 should see the tears in her eyes. "No indeed !" she said. After that ho hardly spoko to her all tho evening. As tho summer deepened, Nell and Dick seemed to have changed places. Of all the lordly, cavalier-like lovers, ho was tho greatest ; and of all tho meek, deprecating maidens, sho was the meekest and most deprecating. And strangest of all, Mother Oakley mado no attempt to bring matters to a climax, although sho could hardly help seeing that Nell's capricious heart had fixed itself upon this handsomo young lellow, who seemed in no haste to mako known his intuitions. How was Nell or anyone else to know that Dick had already made a confidant of Mother Uakley ami won her over to his sido 1 It was a lovelv day in August; so near to September that some of the richness and dreaminess of autumn seemed to have flavored it. Nell, on tho way home from the village in her pony carriage, had over taken Dick, and ho was besidu her now, watching tho little, gray gloved hands that held the reins. Presently ho told her in a cool, in different soitof way that tho linn of which ho was a silent partner, would send him to South America next month; that ho would probably spend two or three years there. Poor littlo Nellie. Her pretty laco was liko a whito rose. She tried to meet Dick's keen eyes with a careless smile, but sho could not control tho quiver of her pallid lips. In an agony of Bhamo she dropped tho reins and clasped both hands over her tear-filled eyes, Diet; caught tho iciiis in 0110 hand and uncovered her faco with the other. Look here, Nell,'' ho said, rather hoarsely. "Would you like to go to South America with mo 1" "I would go to tho end of tho world with you, Dick, von know that," sho pried, a passionate sob rather disturb ing tho clearness of her enunciation. Dick drew the little tearful damsel closer to him, and kissed her in a masterful way. "All right honoy," ho said conoiselv. "Have you a pretty, whito frock and all tho fixings ? Wo will bo married in just two weeks." "Oh, I could not get reaay so soon, U-murred Nell, willing her eves and trying to look dignified. "ou must,' asserted mv lord, calm ly, "or I must go without 'you," And ho kissed her again, and Nell clung to him and declared that ho shouldn't go without her if sho had to bu man led in a print dress.
