BY the sac Of darkiy, aiading stream.a ''
And a q Church man y down to the rivor came
when / heard a strange voice call his name,

You must leave your robes on tie ,Othet. side"
Dat the aged father did not niad; .,-,,yh "a.
And his long g9vn aoated out behind, ,,,i,y,,a
sc down TO the stream his way he took, 4, ..
He pale hands eiasping a silt edged book.
g I'm bound for heaven and Whcn I'm there,

And though I put on n starry crown, e,,,,
I should feel quite lost without my gown"
Then he axcd bis eye on the aiming track.
But his, gown was heavy, aud hold him back !;
And the poor old father tried in vain,
a single step in the food to gain. - -,
I saw him again on tho. other side, ~ g IA.
Bot his silk gown aoatcd on tho tidc;, s,sg,
Aud no ono asked, In that blissfal spot,
Whether he belonged TO "the Church or not

And his bread brimmcd hat he pulled down

Over his forehead forte,hhsasd 80 cold and white. H's y
But strong wind carried away his hat; -, (.
A moment he siIentiy sighed over that;
And thea, a.. he CARED to the further Shore,
The coat slipped Of, and was seen no more.
As 10 entered Heaven, his suit Of gray ~,
Went quietly sailing away, away; ,.-. -
And none of the angels questioned him
, About tho width Of his beavers. brim.
Next came DR.. Watts, with a bundle Of Psalms
Tied nicely mp in his aged arms.
And hymns as many, very vice thing,
That the people in heaven, " all round" might
sing. 'r,i'''' q
But I thought that he heaved an anxious sigi.,
As no saw the river ran broad and high,
And looked rather surprised as, one by ono,
The Psains and. Hymns In the wave went
down. A,@ kd .sb a.s4 s,,ssss- ~ sa.la,
