f-ii'-li a Ircain I had this morula.?. It was
n'.owt half-past 5. and the day was hreakimr.
It was a dream f Ooil. a dream of heaven.
Kzekiel had his dream on the bn.ks of the
hel.ar:! had mydnam not far from the
l.anl;s of the Hudson. The mot of the stories
ofherven were written manr centurie- a --
and th-y tall us how the pla.'e looke,! then'
or how it will look centimes ahead. Would
you not like to know how it Irw.i-.. -n ..
is what I am goir.if t. tell you. i wa there
this morning. I havi just (rot l.:i--tc. J low I
trot into that r-ity of the sun I know not.
w Inch of the twelve eaten I entered is to me
uncertain. luit my first rememhranee of the
"eene in that I stood on one of the main ave
nues, look-in? this way and that, lost In r.i:,
tures, and the air so full of musii; and re o
lenee and laughter and Hht that I knew i. ,t
whieh street to take, when on an-el of Oil
a.-costed me and offer! to how me the r,',
jeetsof t-reatest interest, nnd con lu-t me
J rom street to street, and from nians.on to
mansion, and from templo to temple, and
from wall to wall. I said to the nnsrel. '-How
lonif hast thou been in heaven," and the an
swer. 'Thirty-two years a.vordinir to the
earthly calendar."
There was a secret about this nnireTs name
that was not en-en me, hm from the tender-ne-s
nnd sweet ne.-s and affection and Inter
est taken in my wa.sk through li-nr. n. nnd
more than all in the fact of thirty-two year,'

a I irone, ,ut i think it was she. y.m see I
w .s only on n visit to the city and had not
vet taken H residence, an,i f could know
orny in part.
J looked in for a few moment at the p-reat
temple. o.ir brilliant and lovely S-oteli es

And I saw some young men with a rill - on

But yonder in this assembly is an np
'nrned face that seems to ask how about the
sges of those in heaven. "Do my departed
hildren remain children, or have they lost
heir childish vivacity's Do my departel
parents remain aged, or have thev lost the
venerable out of their nature?" Well, from
what I saw I think childhood has advanced
o full maturity of fa 'uity, retaining all the
-csi:i, n e ot chil liioo I. and that the aged
ia 1 retreated to midlife, freed from nil de
a deuce, but s'ill retaining the charm of the
.ener ibie. In other words, it was ful'y -le-.-elooed
and complete life of all souls,

Some one says. "Will yon (ell us what most

the little maid was crvinz bitterly.
Something very serious must have hap

round a corner came my knight. On a j

was ,t nineteenth century knight, and
they are as likelv to be on foot as on
horseback. Helmets are apt to be straw
j hats or derbyu; und, as for greaves, well,
' knic-kcibocKers are more common to
day. This particular knight was about ten
years old slender, straight, opon-cyed.
(Quickly he spied the damsel in distress.
. Swiftly he came to her aid.
J "What's the matter?" I heard him
eay.
"Alas! the "matter" was that the
bundle she held had "bursted." and
its contents were ojK'n to view. Prob
ably the small maid cxjiected a hearty
scolding for carelessness. And, indeed,
whoever put that soiled shirt and the
collars in hor care might reasonably
have been vexed.
The boy tried to fix the broken wrap
1T but could not. A n-w piece of
wrapping paper also proved too frail.
Must the child get a scolding? l'oor
