NJ SEOT IN HEAVEN,
Talking of sects till Into ono eve,
Of tho vnrloui doctrines tlio saints believe,
That night I stood In n troubled dream,
lly the sldo of n darkly How Ing stream.
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,

"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.

with a certain light undertone :

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

Dick had already made a confidant of
Mother Uakley ami won her over

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,

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

didn't. Nell ncoouipanied him to

nero wiinoui number, tsome years
ago, during an otherwise bad season,
the seals " struck in '' on tho ico near
the Newfoundland coast, while tho
steamers were away. Women and
children, leaving the shore, engaged in
tho slaughter, and during a few days
Gt,000 head were killed within a few
miles of St. John's. The flippers of
tho seal, by the way, when fried are
reckoned a raro dainty by the islanders,
and are often brought back from tho
ico in long strings to be kept for food
When, ns rarely happens, more seals
aro found than a singlo steamer can
load, the surplus aro killed and tho pelts
heaped on the ice, to bo marked with
the steamers Hag. In that case an tin-
loaded vessel can bring in the pelts and
demand a certain largo percentage of
their value. On their second voyage
