The Girl at the Front Gate.

Heaven bless the girl at the front gate
with peach bloom on her cheeks and
love light in her eyes. Men would shut
her out Of our literature, but | am not
one Of them. The girl at the front gate
can never grow old to those who have
been there with her. Years may come
and 60, but the music Of the voice Mt the
gate will not be stilled and the memory
Of the cherry lips we kissed at the front
gate will hold out faithful to the end.
What il the old gate does sag and its
hinges rattle aud its latch refuse to hold
it shut? What fthe posts are shaky and
some of its pickets gone? We love the
dear old relic still. We love il for the
sake Of the girl who used to stand out
there by it,with roses on her cheeks and
nectar on her lips. We held the old
gate up and counted the stars and bid
good-by and then counted the stars

good-by said? How many times did lips
meet DER the old dear gate The old
gate knows. hut it will never tell. The
old front gate may have counted the
kisses, but I never did, and I am sure the
girl with the peach bloom cheeks never
did. And what of the girl with the
peach bloom cheeks? All, me She mar
ried another. She forgot her vows at
the old front gate, as some girls will.
and married d richer and handsomer
man. And L? Well. | went of to an
other front gate where there we're other
peach bloom cheeks and other lips as
sweet and just as many stars to count.
And now | have q front gate OF my own
and girl Of my own with peach bloom
cheeks who counts the stars with the boy
of the girl whose vows made with me at
the first front gate we're broken. But he
is true, good boy, and my girl isa
good, true girl. and Heaven bless them
both as they stand tonight at the old
front gate.

On the roof are two beautiful figures.

bed, surrounded by weeping friends. 10
the kitchen servants are at work. In
the yard are men sharpening their soy thes
and chopping and saving wood Sew.
eral incidents connected with Indian life
are vivcdly pictured. Railway cars are
running. and ship, with sails unfurled
and laden with passengers, floats in a
miniature river. Even Noah's ark is
represented, with Noah at the head Of
the procession marching into it, while
up on the hill-tops surrounding are men
aud women awe-struck at the rising
waters. A perfect grist mill in operation
is represented also country home, with
tho father and mother sitting BY the fire.

in diameter. All Of the figures were
carved with jack-knives, Mr.. Calkins
