The Two Roads.

Itwas New Years night An aged man
was standing at window. lie raised his
mournful eye toward the deep blue sky
where the stars were floating like white
lilies on the surface of clear calm lake.
Then he cast them on the earth where few
more hopeless beings than himself now
moved toward their certain gaol-the tomb.
Already he had passed sixty of the stages
which lead to it, and he had brought from
his journey nothing but errors and remorse.
His health was destroyed, his mind vacant,
his heart sorrowful, and his old age devoid
of comfort. The days of his youth rose up
in vision before him, and he recalled the
solemn moment, when his father had placed
him at the entrance of two roads, one lead
ing into peaceful sunny land, covered
with fertile harvest, and resounding with
soft sweet songs; while the other conduc-
ted the, wanderer into deep dark cave,
whence there was no issue, where poison
flowed instead of water, and where serpents
Missed and crawled.
lie looked toward the sky, and cried out
in his agony 10 youth return o nv
father, place me once more at the entrance
to life, that | may choose the better way p
But the day Of his youth, and his father
had both passed away. He saw wander
ing lights floating far away over dark marsh
es, and then disappear-these were the
days of his wasted life. He saw star fall
from heaven and vanish in the darkness
This was an emblem of himself ). and the
sharp arrows of unayailing remorse struck
home to his heart. Then he remembered
his early companions, who entered on life
with him, but who, having trod the paths
of virtue and of labor, were how happy and
honored on the New Years night The
clock in the high church tower struck, and
the sound, falling upon his ear, recalled his
parents early love for him, their erring son:
the lessons they hsdtaught him; the pray
ers they had offered up on his behalf
Overwhelmed with shame and grief be
dared no longer look towards the heavens
where his father dwelt; his darkened eyes
droped tears, and with one despairing eff
fort he cried aloud eConse back, my. early
! days. come back !"
And his youth did return; for all thi:
was but dream which visited his slumbers
| on New Years night. Hc was still young,
| his faults alone were real He thanked
God feryently that time was still his own
that he had not yet entered the deep, darl
cavern, but that he was free to tread the
road leading to the peaceful land, wher,
sunny harvests wave.
Ye who still linger on the threshold 0
life, doubling which path to choose, remem
