From the hustle and rush OF nine
teenth century life along Fifth and
Madison avenues into the cool, shaded
rooms of the Metropolitan Art Museum
especially into the department where is
the Cesnola collection Of CypIiOte
Antiquities. it is as il shutting the door
upon a noisy present, and stepping
suddenly into a very snadowy past.
Sarcophagi, basreliefs, colossal statues,
sphnxes, confront one, and one is
whirled back to old phencian, Egyp.
tian, and Assyrian days in half-a'sec.
ond. Here are urns, vases, water jugs
the fac.simles doubtless Of that which
Rebekah lei down upon her hand that
the servant of her future lord might
drink. Hero are winged lions, and
curious allegorical figures, just such as
Joseph and the Pharoahs looked upon.
Besides these curious antiques which |
have not space to fslly describe, are
lovely sculptures of modern art, Powers
Greek Slave, Jackson's Eve with the
body of Abel, a tragic poem in marble.
Gany mede, the cup bearer OF Zeus,
Powers exquisite Geneyra. The
Thief, a study from Dante's Inferno, is
powerful and almost painful statue,
as the man shows in every feature and
muscle such awful torture. Here, too,
are wonderful carvings in ivory, silver,
brass, rich tapestries from foreign
looms, Chinese, japanese curiosities,
wonders of Venetian glass, and lace,
china that almost drives housekeeper
wild with envy. Yet had no feeling
but pity, as 1 looked on the fragile, ex-
ouisite Services china collected by Nine
De Camfran, and her sisters, maids oi
honor 10 Marie Antoinette, as l re-
membered through what tragic scenes
and stories those delicate morsels Of
porcelain had passed, and in what CORY
graves the fair queen and many OF her
faithful servants were laid.
Of the beautiful paintings, | have no
time to speak.
In front of the Museum, mol lar from
the antiquities which belong 10 its
former surroundings, towers the famous
Obelisk, Cleopatra's Needle. Brought
| from Alexandria, Egypt, about three
years ago. It's exquisite proportions
also ITS position, seems to take from Its
height, or at least one is not impressed
as one expects. Abraham, Joseph aud
Moses may have stood meath its shad'
ows. Kingdoms and Empires have
vanished while the great Monolith
stood steadfast on the sands Of Egypt,
and amid the " hirl Of the fashionable
boulevard on which it now stands, II
looks quite lonely and out of place. II

SUNSET GATES AJAR.

o-night as sat by my window,
When the west was all aglesm
With that strange and wonderful splendor
That is flesting as dream
thought that the hands of the angels
Had flung open Heavens gateway wid''
And caught glimpse Of the glory
From the hills on the other side.
Is il not beautiful fancy,
This sunset thought Of mine,
That the gates of Heaven are always
Flung open at days declinef
Tha. those whose day is ended
Of earthly wees and ills,
Nav pass 70 the morning sunshine
That dw.lls on the heavenly hills?
When for me the sunset gateway
Shall at days's decline unclose,
And pass in through its portals
To that long and sweet repose,
I know that shall remember,
In that city so fair and far,
Ny strange and beautiful fancy
Of the sunset gates ajar.
Perhaps while sat there dreaming
Of the gateway in the west,
Some poor soul went through is portals
To long and endless rest;
Passed through the sunset gateway
To that "city paved with gold'-
Passed into the new life's gladness
To be no longer old.

most cases, trouble, when it comes, is
easier to bear than we have anticipated.
After being tormented for a long time
with dread and apprehension, after the
crisis is passed and the blow has fallen
we resign ourselves to it with wonder
full patience. This is particularly true
in respect Of pecunlary losses, the fear
ot which causes so much bitter suffer-
ing. The man who tossed for many a
weary month on an uneasy and sleep
less couch, may, lie down to pleasant
Dreams after the crash is over. There
is no agony like that OF suspense
Again, nothing is gained by meeting
trouble half way. Every man is cer'
tain that, sooner or later, certain things
must happen 10 him which he has cause
to read but 1t would be very unwise
to allow these foreshadowings of the
future TO envelope our daily walks with
gloom. We know that within limited
number OF years we must either have
closed our eyes upon all that is fair and
beautiful here on earth, or else live or

crest of the neck, turning the thumb
uppermost.
Rise in the stirup, aided by both
hands, until the left leg is Strengthened;
carry over the right leg and Sick into
lee saddle.
When the seat i, obtained release the
holds upon the name and pass the reins
into the left hand.
After the left hand has seized the

stopped His Paper.

Nowadays when a subscriber gets so
mad because an editor differs with him
on some trivial question that he discon-
tinues his paper, it reminds us of good
anecdote of the late Horace Greeley,
the well-known editor of the New
York Tribune. Passing down News
paper row in New York city one morn
ing. he met one of his readers, who
exclaimed:
"Mr. Greeley, after the article you
published this morning, | intend to
stop your paper"
"Oh, no" said Mr.. Greeley, "dOn't
do that"
eyes, sir, my mind is made up.
shall stop the paper"
But the angry subscriber was not
to be appeased, and they separated.
Late in the afternoon the two met
again, when Mr. Greeley remarked:
''Mr. Thompson, | am very glad you
did not carry out your threat this
morning"
''What do you mean ?"
"Why, you said you were going ia
stop my paper"
"And so did. | went to the office
and had the paper stopped"
"YOu are surely mistaken; ! have
just come from there and the press was
running and business was booming
"Sir," said Thompson, very pom
pously, IL meant | intended to STOP
my subscription to your paper"
ooh, thunder! - rejoined Greeley
81 thought you were going to stop Tia,
running of my paper, and knock III,
out of living. My friend, let me tel
you something: One man is just on,
drop of water in the ocean. You did
not set the machinery of this world il
motion, and you can't stop it; ano
when you are underneath the grouno
things upon the surface will wag on
the same as ever
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1882-06-16

sential to the perfect regulation of the
mysterious machinery that runs the
human body with a soul attached.
This is getting away from the point,
but it is all in the same line. The
most dangerous excitement is that
which is produced by sudden fright.
Who can tell why it sometimes turns the
black hair of "a strong man white in a
single hor2 1t does, and there are
men in every community who will car
ry those white hairs to their grave as
witnesses of the power of fear. 1t may
be Imagination that does it, as when a
man caught hold of the edge of a pit
into which he had fallen in the dark
and hung there all night; when res
cued in the morning it was found that
he was only two inches from the bot
tom, but his hair was white as snow.
You may not blanch the locks of 9th
ers by frightening them, but you run
the risk of doing them far greater
harm than that. If the mischief were
confined to the hair, it were not worth
speaking of. But it is the brain that
suffers. And the evil wrought there is
often far worse than death itself Ire

The Americans Motto.

The following story is related of an
immensely wealthy American i'll Eu-
rope, who had made his fortune sud
denly, as suddenly found out that it
was the correct thing to have coat
Of-arms on his carriage. So he or
dered one. The advertising heraldic
stationer was a bit of wag in his way,
and took the old fellows measure at IA
glance. "What you want is crest
and motto, sir" said he politely. 81
guess So" He was requested to call
next day and see the design, and
promptly went.
The crest was mailed arm holding
"A dagger -' - something uncommon, .
the heraIdry man said and the motto,
Semper nobilis omnibus benignus,
which means, he explained, translat-
ing freely, "Always noble and kind to
everybody" The old man was de
lighted. "NOw, the latest style of
printing notices." pursued the shop
man, sis initializing the words after
the fashion of the old Roman motto
Senatus populus que Romanus, which
the ancients abbreviated into 5. p. Q. X.
OF course you'd like yours done like
JldI, SIT MOSu aSSlfeulS, ieplleu
the living goldmine, and he forthwith
ordered reams of note paper and enve-
lopes to match, stamped instanter, in
gold and silver and every known hue.
Well, he and his wife used the station
cry il month or so, writing to every
one they could think of, when one fine
morning, while studying with more
scrutiny than usual the beauty of the
decoration, it suddenly dawned upon
him that the caption of the sheet to
which he had been daily and hourly
affiNing his valuable signature was
nothing more or less than 5. y. o. B.

"Oh, if you please would he so
glad" and the other male passengers
turn green with envy, and he leans
over the back of the seat and tackles
the window in IA knowing way with
one hand, if peradventure he may toss
it airily, with the simple turn of the
wrist, but it kind of holds on, and he
takes hold with both hands, but it does
MT sort of let go to any alarming eX-
tent, and then he pounds it with his fist,
but it only seems to settle II ''leetle
closer into place. and then he comes
round and she gets out of the seat to
give him fair chance, and lie grap-
plies that window and bows up his
back and tugs and pulls and sweats
and grunts and strains and his hat falls
off, and his suspender buttons fetch
loose, and his vest buckle parts, and
his face gets red, and his feet slip, and
people laugh, and irreverent young
men in remote seats grunt and grOan
every time he lifts and cry out, "Now,
then. all together" rs if in mockery,
and he bursts his collar at the forward
button, and the pretty young lady,
veXed at having been made so conspic-
uouS, says in her iciest manner, ooh,
never mind, thank You; it doesn't
make any difference and then calmly
goes away and sits down in another
seat, and that wearied man gathers
himself togejh and reads book up
side down-oh doesn't he feel good,
just ? Maybe he isn't happy, but if
you think he isn't, don't be fool enough
to extend any of your sympathy.
