WHEN THE LAST HOUR coNEs.

away because Of the death of is mother,
getting weaker and weaker every day, was
taken into the room where hung the pict-
I.re of her mother. She seemed TO enjoy
looking at it, and then She was taken away
and after awhile died In tie last moment
that wan and wasted littie one lifted her
hands, while her face lighted up with the
glory of the next world, and cried out,
"AfCtherv' You tell me she did not see her

Heaven is not stately, formal place as
i sometimes hear il described, very frig-
idity OF splendor, where people stand on
cold formalities and 90 around about with
heavy crowns Of gold ON their heads. No,
that is not my idea Of heaven. Ny idea
of heaven Is more like this: You are
seated in the eveningtide by the fire
place, your whole family there, or nearly
all of them there. While you are seated
talking and enjoying the evening hour
there is a knock at the door and the
door opens, and there comes in brother
that has been long absent. He has been
absent, for years you have not seen him,
and no sooner DO you make up your mind
that il is certainly he than you leap up, and
the question is who shall give him the
frst embrace That is my idea Of heaven
