HELP ME ACROSS, PAPA"


There was anguish in the faces of those
who bent over the little white bed, for
they knew that baby May was drifting
away IRON them, going out alone into
the dark voyage where so many have
been wfested from loving hands, and as
they tried in vain to keep her, or even
to smooth with their kind solicitudc her
last brief sorrows, they, too, experienced
in the bitter hour of parting the pangs
of death. They only hoped that she did
not suffer now. The rings Of golden
hair lay damp and unstirred on her white
forehead; the roses were turned to lilies
on her checks the lovely violet eyes
saw them not, but were upturned and
fixed; the breath on the pale lips came
and went, Auttered and seemed 10th to
leave its sweet prison. Oh, the awful
cruel strength Of death, and the weak
ness. the helplcssness Of love They
who loved her better than life could not
lift hand to avert the destroyer; they
could only watch and wait until the end
should come. Her merry, ringing laugh
would never again gladden. their hearts;
her little feet would make no more music
as they ran pattering to meet them. -
Baby May was dying, and all the house
was dArkencd and hushcd
Then it was as the shadows fell in
denser waves about US, that she stirred
ever 80 family, and our hearts gave
great bound as we thought "Sho is bet
teri She will livep Yes, she knew
us, her eyes moved from one face to the
other, with dim, uncertain gaze Oh
how good God was to give her back i
How we would praise and bless Him all
our lives She lifted one dainty hand
cold--amost pulseless, but better, bet
ter-wc would have it so--and laid it
on the rough, Drowned hand Of the rug
ged man who sat nearest to her. His
eyelids were wet with weeping, but now
a smile lighted all his bronzed face like
rainbow, as he felt tho gentle pressure
of his little daughters hand--thc mute,
imploring touch, that meant a question.
"Wbat is it, darlingw he asked in
broken tones Of joy and thanksgiving
She could not speak, and so we raised
her on the pretty lace pillow, and her
weo white faceshone in the twilight like
fair star, or a sweet woodland flower.
She lifted her heavy eyes to his.
eyes that even then had the glory and
the promise Of Immortality in them, and
reaching out her little wasted arms, said
in her weary, hute-likc voice
"IIelp nc across, Papa"
Then she was gone! We held to our
breaking hearts the frail. beautiful shell,
but stc was far away, whittier we might
not follow. She had crossed the dark
river, and not alone.
"Over the river the bOatman pale
Carried another, the household pet.
"Shc crossed on her bosom her dimpled
hands,
And iearlcssly entered the phantom bark
We felt IL glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely
dark"
Oh, Infinite Father Whom We weary
aud disappointed ones reach out pleading
hands 10 Thee, wilt Thou take US even
as the little child. and help us across
over the mountains Of defeat and the
valleys Of humiliation into the eternal
rest Of Thy presence, into the green pas
lures and beside the still waters, into tho
city Of the New Jerusalem, whose build

INDIAN SUMMER. When the first set
tiers of the country felt the first cold Of
autumn they thought winter had come.
but the Indians said, "No, there will
yet be summer" Hence the origin Of
the name Indian Summer" In the
famous forests Of Ardennes, whose oaks
are noted for their brilliant autumn foli-
age, it is unequaled. In Germany il is
called "Old Mans Summer" Elise
where il is known as after Heat. !"
IL is denied by some that tho fine. hazy
weather of October is properly called
"Indian Summer" which they regard
as peculiar TO November, except that it
sometimes continues into December.
