THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL.

THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL.
If we're not for the hope of the gospel,
Our hearts would be broken to-day,
For the sorrow and losses and crosses
:. That have burdened us all OUR way.
Our footsteps surely would faltcr,
Our hearts ne'er could endure the pain,
For the darkness would cover completely,
Nor could smiles ever win us again.
If it we're not for the hope Of the gospel
To cheer. to sustain and to save.
We should look not for Joy or for comfort,
Save in silence CT death and the grave.
No looking forward and upward
To home in the Heavenly land,
No thought that in chOrs angelic,
We ght with redeemed ones stand.
II il we're not for the hope of the gospel,
The light would go out from our soul,
We should live for the moments now pres
ent,
Nor seek for Heaven as our goal.
We should not have the courage to battle
Nor to bear the i'll fortunes of life;
If it were not for the great revelation
In the wonderful Book Of Life.

'The glow tcepened on the beautiful
face, the eyes were filled with the light
of holy rapture, of intense devotion and
on the wings Of her enthusiasm I, too,
was borne upward, when suddenly there
was terrible shock, crash, the falling
of heavy bodies, crushing into us and
hurling us down from great height.
The lights went ont, and through the
darkness and terror, the indescribable
confusion, echoed cries for help, shrieks
and groans and prayers.
Uncle Frank paused as the memory
of tina, terrible scene pressed upon him.
"Was it Chatsworth p I asked as SOON
as could command my voice. "And
how did you escape?'
yes, it was Chatsworth,' he SAID. I
was saved miraculously, l scarcely
know how but was only stunned and
bruised, and was among the first to
escape from the wreck
"And zee pity little dirl?' Mabel
asked, her eyes fixed anxiously on his
face.
ooh, Mabel little darlingr' Uncle
Frank said with deep emotion, clasping
the dear form closer IN his arms, 'how
can yon understand taat the other Ma.
bcl-the sweet little singer-was found
under all that wreck, next day, clasped
closely in the arms of her dead father.
Death had come so suddenly that her
face still wore the look of holy rapture
of sweet peace had seen upon it last.
Surely the angels had beckoned her.
and the dear lord had answered her
unconscious prayer and drawn her
nearer to himsef.'

TNE LAST HYMN.

Uncle Frank had come from his
home in Illinois to make us a visit, for
the first time in So many years tha t
none but we older children conll re-
member when he WAS with us last
But it took only short time tor the
little ones to become acquainted All
We're charmed by his interesting sto,
lies, his kindly, genial manner, and
hearty participation In their amuse-
ments.
The week after his arrival had been
a constant succession Of pleas. ant sur.
prlscs, for each day developed some new
power Of entertainment in our tavorite
uncle. When Sunday came We had
shown of our fine. looking relative at
church with every evident delight, had
listened to his interesting remarks be
fore the Sunday school, and then, after
our early supper, had gathered around
the organ in the pArlor to try and en-
tertaln him in return, and, possibly, to
exhibit our proficiency IN music with
very innocent pride.
We had all inherited good voices
from our father; who had taken great
pride and pleasure, in our musical train
ing until, from Emma, the eldest, to
"wee bit Mabel, our darling little g.
year old, we could sing anything we
ever heard.
To night Louie presided at the organ
with Emma beside her, and Arthur and
Will at either hand, while Mabel was
nesting in Uncle Franks s-her
favorite resting place.
She was darling little pet with all
the Youngest Of our large family, and
peculiarly dear, for two lovely little
ones had died just before her birth.
Uncle Frank was strongly attached
to her, for she bore the name of the be.
loved wife he had lost several years be-
fore, and of whom he never spoke save
with tender reverence and tear drnmed
eyes.
We sung one after another Of our fa-
vorlte hymns, Rock of Ages whittier
Than Snow Ninety and Nine, etc,
antil at last Louise played Nearer
My God, to Thee.
We all joined in filing the room with
the sweet music of the hear old by mn.
It'll all my sorn Sail be,
Nc'cr my bod to 60,
sung dear little Mable in her clear,
sweet voice, and with such earnestLess
in her baby face that Uncle Frank drew
the dear child close: in his arms, and
caressed the soft flushed cheek.

The Girl Went.

A handsome and hashily dressed girl
got on a street car several evenings ago,
and, by her manner of peculiar self
consciousness, attracted the attt ntion of
every one on the crowded vehicle. The
conductor of the car was one of the old
est men on the line; was not only old,
but was in feeble health. When we
went up to the end of the car to take
the Young lady S fare it was observed,
and especially by dudish young fell
low, that he began to censure her.
"Look at that old fool, scolding that
girl" said the dude, speaking to some
one who sat near him. This railroad
company ought to have better sense
than to employ ruffians as conductors.
Here, what do you mean there? | am
talking to you, you old jayhawk!'
The conductor started back through
the car, and the dude, made more gal.

Near me were quite large party,

of me-a fine, looking man Of about 40
and little girl of some IL or Is years,
evidently his daughter. She was II
slender, delicate looking child, and her
face attracted me strongly; 1t seemed a
reflection of heaven itself, it was so
sweet and lovable in expression. In
the mirror at the front Of the car, just
ahead of us, could see them distinctly,
and could not help watching, with
growing interest, the lovely face Of that
child. She had removed her hat, ana
her head, with its masses Of soft, wavy,
brown hair, lay against her fathers arm
while her eyes of clearest. deepest hazel
were raised at frequent intervals to his
face with look of devoted love.
The faces of both seemed familiar,

looking up with a smile, lad his hand

saying: This is inv Mabel.
