tingnished poet In The State OF Maine,
after the birth OF bis first child, wrote
and published the following pretty po-
EN-
One night as old st. Peter slept
lie left the door Of Heaven aiar,
When through little angel crept,
And came down with n falling star.
One summer, rs the blessed beams
Ofmorn approached, my blushing bride
Awakened from some pleasing dreams
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this--I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of pain,
He'll wing his way to that bright shore.
And find abe rond to heaven again.
John G. SAKE, not to be outdone, and
deeming that injustice had been done to
st. Peter, wrote the following as st. Pc
ter's reply;
Full eighteen hundred years or more
I've kept my gate securely fast;
There has no "lttle angel" strayed,
Nor recrennt through the portal
passed. ..E
did not sleep An you supposed, arI
Nor left the door Of Heaven ajar,
Nor has "little angel" left, go
And gone down with the falling star.
Go ask that blushing bride, and see
II she don't frankly own and say ..
That when she found TINT angel babe,
She fonnd It in the good old way.
God grant but this--I ask no more
That should your number still enlarge
You will not do rs done before,
And lay II to old Peters charge.
