 HIS HEREAFTER.
By Isler, the Bohemian.

It bothers me more than little to know just what is going to become of me hereafter never wa, beiic> rl in the birthstone hell-tire doctrine so strongly pictured by the orthodox divine, neither did ever take much stock in his New Jerusalem, where the streets are paved with gold be- lieve in a future reward for merit, and for good and noble deeds, and believe that he who violates the dictates of his conscience will have to pay dearly for it sooner or later, but eternal bliss for a halt-witted fool and eternal punishment for a single mistake, iS dose that is swallow.
 Sometimes when get to thinking in what danger am of reaching this New Jerusalem of the orthodox prophet feel tempted to commit some little sin just big enough to cntitle me to pass to the other place. cant for moment get into my thick skull that 1 eyer was cut out for an angel to shine forever more in eternal bliss. undoubtedly I would look ever so nice arrayed as bird of paradise, but would feel at home? am quite fond of music, and think would like to play on a harp but have very sensitive car and whenever hear q harsh note-a bad diScord, il thrills me through and through and causes me to suffer intensely; therefore, If all who are going 10 the orthodox heaven will be allowed to practice on harps and like instruments fear the place will prove anything but para disc to me. Then, again, from the orthodox divines description of the New Jerusalem have good reasons to fear that the place will prove altogether too tame for an ambitious spirit like the one that reigns within this body of mine The place lacks the life and get-up that makes even this world prove acceptable to my nature. Where there Is no ambition there is no life and where there is no life, l have no business to be Now, according to the orthodox divine there is no cause for ambition in hea- ven, as God is Ruler Supreme, and only the archangels and angels whom He brought into existence before this world was even thought of, have the least bit of authority there; therefore, as there Is no earthly chance for spirit to work its way into power and influence there Is no excuse for one spirit to be more spirited than another; no excuse for
