The paths ! tread arc through meadows

young man kesltatsd at q time when heslta~
tiOn was ruin, and the had angel snaote the
good angel until II departed, spreading wings
through the starlight upward and away, until
a door flashed open ii the say and forever
The wings vanished That was the turning
point in that young mans history for. the
good angel fo~n, be hesatated no longer, but
started on q pathway which Is boauEiful at
the opening, but blasted at last. Tie lad
angel leadlhg the way opened gate after gate.
and al each gate the road became rough
and the sky more lurid, and, what "as pc
culiar, as the gate slanuaci shut IT came 10
with y jar that indicated that Il would never
open Passed each portal, tbeTs was grlnd-
ing of locks ana Ia showing or bolts and Tie
scenery ON either side the road changed from
gardens 90 deserts. and the June air became
cutting December blast, and the bright
wings Of the bad angel turned 10 sackcloth,
and the eyes Of light became hollow with
hopeless grief and the fountains, that at the
start had tossed with wine, poured forth
bubbling tears and foanIing blood, and on
the right side OF the road there Was Ia ser
pent, and the man said TO tho bad an
gel: What is that serpentf and the
answer was: THAT is the serpent OF singing
remorsen On the left side of the road there
was a lion, and the man asked the bad angel:
What is that honp and the answer was:
THAT is the lion Of all devouring despair"
A vulture few through the sky, and the man
asked the bid angel: "W nat IS that vultureP
and the answer was: THAT is the yulture
waiting for the csrcasses Of the slain-" And
then the man began 10 try TO pull of Of him
the folds Of something that had wound him
round and round, and be said 10 the bad an
gel: what Is IL that twists me Ia this awful
convolutionr and the answer was: THAT is
the worm that never dies.N And then the
man said TO the bad angel: "What does al
this meant / trusted IN what you said at the
corner of the street that night; trusted IL
all, and why have you thus deceived meF'
Then the last deception fell of the charmer,
and il said. II was sent forth from the pit
TO destroy your soul; / watched my chance
for many long year; when you hesitated
that night on the street gained my triumph;
now you ore here. Ia! la! You are here.
Come, now, let US Gil these two chahces Of
fire, and drink together TO darkness and woe
and, death Hall hall" OH young man,
will the good angel sent forth by Christ or
the bad angel sent forth by sin get the vic
tory over your souli Their wings are inter
locked this moment above you, contending
for your destiny, as above tho App~nines
eagle and condor fight midrky This hour
may decide your destiny. God help you. To
hesitate is TO diel
