HEAVEN.

Beyond these chilling winds and gloomy skies,
Beyond deaths cloudy portal,
There is land where beauty never dies,
And love becomes immortal.
a land whose light is never dimmed by shade
Whose fields are ever vcrnal,
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But bloom for aye, eternal.
We may not know how sweet its balmy air,
How bright and fair its flowers
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Through those enchanted bowers.
The cityS shining towers we may not see,
With our dim, earthly vision;
For death, the silent warder, keeps the key
That opes these gates elysian.
But sometimes, when adown the western sky
The fiery sunset fingers,
Its golden gates swing inward noiselessly,
Unlocked by silent fingers
And while they stand moment half ajar,
Cleans from the inner glory
Stream brightly through the azure vault afar
And half reveal the story.
o land unknown , o land of love Divine
Father all wise, eternal. Gof mine
Guide, guide these wandering, way worn feet
Into those pastures vernal.

IRON Mcore's Rural New. Yorker
SUES COUNTRY EXPERIENCE,
BY BARBARA BRANDE.

"And if ye plaze, Mr. Estel, Pat
Darry's TUX wild tn rheumatic, an
Bull Bradley's got the masles, an
shure who'll drive the rapcr's ?"
Now, if there is anything perfectly
aggravating, it is to lose two or three
hands in harvest time, as every farm
er knows full well. Judge Estel pri-
ded himself upon his patience and
calmness, but he was now visibly dis
composed.
Meanwhile Lu, his daughter, and l,
were laying our hands together over
a plot peculiarly feminine. Lu Estel
had been my "chum at school, and
my confdante since. / was spending
a few weeks with her in her country
home, and already our wild pranks
had astonished the staid villagers,
therefore the Judge was not as much
surprised as he otherwise would have
been, when we announced our plan.
You take their places, indeed" he
said, somewhat contemptuously. An
authoress and housekeeper would
look well by the side of our sturdy
workmen. No, no, girls. Keep to
your pen, Miss Sue, and Lucy may
sweep the house and wash the dishes.
I'll manage somehow"
But somehow appeared to be a very
poor way. for in less than five min
utes he thrust his head through the
omen door. and added
Well, girls. if you will be romps,
come along. You're better than no
help, | suppose"
Although not relishing the uncom-
plimentary style of the Judges last re.
mark. we concluded to quietly pocket
the af'ront, as wo were wild for frol-
ic, and prove by our deeds how unjust
was that depreciatory sentence.
If there is one thing more than
another that |, Sue Lansing, pride my
self upon, it is neatness of attire /;
and since the scribbling fever" had
taken possession of me, was doubly
particular in this respect. l was de-
termined to prove to the world that
it was not necessary for a woman to
be slovenly in dress or appearance,
because she was an authoress. This
particular morning | cast a glance OF
satisfaction into the mirror as | left
the room. The pretty dress, snowy
apron and collar, and neatly arranged
curls, were all in perfect taste, and
when | had donned pair of thick
gauntlets, and settled my hat over the
| glossy ringlets, | could not refrain
from congratulating myself, girl-like
upon my pleasing appearance. Oh
had | but known the woes that bright
day held in store for me. should have
gone forth with more humility to my
task
Across the dewy fields we went
through the orchard, where the clover
blossoms, white and red, crept loving
ly around the gnarled old apple trees
over fences and bitches, till at las
the field of our future operations came
! 4 high fence interviewed, but accustom
ed as we were to scaling walls, thi
was momentary obstacle. The mex
! instant landed on the ground, leav
4 ing large portion of my dress flut
tering from the topmost rail, like
flag Of distress. There was no use i
talking of return, so, with the aid OF

entered the parlor, radiant in a misty
blue robe, my attire faultless, from
the tinny slipper peeping forth from
the folds of my dress, to the whito rib
bon confining my curls. His stare
changed into an expression of unmis-
taxable admiration as we entered in
to conversation. and that night, in the
quiet of our own room, Lu and | en-
joyed a hearty laugh, over the worthy
editors discontinue.
This was the first Of series of vis-
its which the gentlemen found time
TO make at Hickory Farm during the
ensuing weeks, and the evening be-
fore my return to my own home amid
the naples, some one whispered of un.
dying love, and a life desolate with.
