BEYOND THE GATES.
Harriet Mabel Spalding, in Christian Intel
ligencer,
Boretimes in dreams I see it,
This city fair and grad;
Its doors of Jasper brightness
Stand forth on either hand,
*Twas here the pilgrim tarried,
Aud here good cheer awaits
The weary one who enters
At the openiog of the gates,
Each window is an apal
With hues born of the noon,
Through which rich perfumes wander,
Caught from the alr of June,
And here are sandals waiting
In which the weary feet,
New shod in royal splendor,
May roam the shiuing street.
Oh, City of the Beautiful,
Coulda waking hearts forget
The gardens wher te Lilies
Like crystal flakes were set?
Where heaven's doves in sunshine
Like rainbows went ad came?
Where the sun woke swathed in azure,
And died ou flelds of flame?
Here, too, are fountains playing
To cheer this heart of thine,
And meadows lush with violets
And winds as rich as wine
While each thing gad and beautiful
The loving soul awaits
When once the veil is rended,
And we stand within the gates,
Dear Clty of the Holy,
For the waiks of paim I long;
For the love that maketh lovely,
For the faith that wakeih strong,
For thy green and grov : cedars,
Thy taxes of silver) 5
For thy peace pi prehension
That tiocds thine is.es of bali.
Take Thou my hand, my Saviour,
The way is dark and wild
Far off, a star, the city shines,
It beckons on thy chitid
Joy! joy! then come, tue beautitull
A miyoiad host awaits,
And heaven refulgent floods lay soul
At ihe widening of the gates,

When Madge Selby married Ted

However, Madge thought differently,
and being an orphan possessed of $500

$1500 a year, and his love for her, for

was no “worse” in the matter, for Ted
turned out to be a mode! husband; and
been found in the length and breadth
ene, and, as one friend took the trouble
to inform Madge, she would soon find
out the difference her old
country home and this bijou residence,
where yon had to think twice before
ou turned round on the staircase, and
jitterly regret the change. But al-
though Madge had been married for
nearly six months, regret had not been
even a momentary visitor at No. 5.
Her band’s business took him
away all day; but as he got home about
gix o'clock 1m the evening, there was
not much to grumble at on that score,
and Madge had plenty of work to do
in seeing after her little houre, and
training her capable servant in the
ways of a re fined household. She had
also, as well as the general servant, a
nice-looking girl of fourteen to assist in
the kitchen, who was willing to come
to her {or very small wages to be train-
ed for good domestic service, so that
their establishment was a modest bat
comfortable one,
As Madge nad been a popular girl all
her life, and bad been born and
bronght up within five miles of
of Lensham, she knew every one worth
knowiog—both in the town and ont
gide And, therefore, the invitations
to dinners and dances, consequent on
her wedding, were very numerons; and
during the winter they went out pearly
every night.
Now, no one in the world likes to re-
ceive favors without doing anythirg
in return for them. And Ted, who, in
some ways, was exccedingly proud, de-
elared tiat nothing wonld induce him
to go into society at all again unless
they were able to devise some return
for the hospitality of their friends.
To be very hospitable on £2,000 a
year is » little difficult; and Madge was
one of thore girls who, always haviog
been accustomed to reflnement in her
home Life, eould never offer anything
to her guests but what was perfection
in form and substance,
Afternoon teas are all very well, but

dinner struck Madge Vaughan,
table. The dining room was proved to
be capable of holding eight people very
comfortably; and the Vaughan’s vimt-
ing-list in Land, spent an anxious quar-
ter of an hour in deciding ‘who was to
meet who,”
“Mrs. Milletto is out cf the quastion,
kind though sho has been to us, Ted,”
Madge, raising her pretty head,
and looking at her husband with a
wrinkle of anxiety on Ler forehead.
“You sco, she wonld not quite do for
our finy establishment! Now that
pleasant Major and Mrs Dacent, whose
party we wont to woek, and our
old friends she Hancocks, and Miss
Btaudd, whose evils have been so kind
40 us, and that n vung gentleman,
de. i pon 5, up a very
pleasant half-dozen, and they are the
sort of people who will all be glad to
meet ona another.”
And so the charming half-dozen were
sottled ou. For Madge had made a
wise sulostion, and one which it would
be well if all hostesses were to follow,
Bho Lind asked only those friends whose
sympathios and tastes were all in com-
mon, who knew the same pe aod
who were both plessant-loo) snd
pleasant tempered,
The uvitatious were sent oul eight
days bef rehand, and everyone of the
six accepted with pleasure, so that
Madge began her preparations with
feelings in which anxiety and excite-
ment had the upper hand. She fortu-
nately knew of a good cook, in the
shape of a woman who had married a
grocer in a small way, sud who was
very glad to turn an occasional honest
penny by helping at dinners and par-
ties; and she at once engaged her to
assist on the eventful evening, so that
her tno maids might have their minds
free to attend to the waiting,
Madge was too wise to commit the
mistake of hiring waiters, whose black
coats and mutton-chop whiskers look
80 palpably unnatural in a small room,
and who always give one the impres-
sion that the host and hostess have
strained every nerve ‘to do the thing
respectably.” But she wrote out min-
ute instructions to be learned by heart,
from them.

They had arranged that the wines to
be offered to their gnests must be good
but simple. With the soup and fish
was to come a very pleasant ‘““Hoch-
heimer,” purchased from a well-known
firm and; with the other conrses, a
sound claret which wonld not be rnin-
onsly extravagant. The after-dinner
wines were a delicate claret
and port; bat then, as Madge sagely
remarked, “Yon can make the move
early, dear Ted, and with the charms
of our society before thew, the men
will have no desire stay and punish
your wine!” Of course, had Madge
and ber fr ends been total abstainers,
wine would pot have been an impor-
tant item in the fare: but delicate

lemons, might have been handed round,

A nice head and shoulders of cod,
carsfully boiled, was sccompanied by
the following excellent

Madge bought an orange *‘Clarnico”
