The Two Anchors.

The Two Anchors.

He sang "Ahoy." to me.
stopped, and saw l knew the man
Had known him from boy;
? And so l answered sailor-like,
"Avas' " to his "Ahoy"
Imade song for him one Iay-
His ship was then in sight
"The little anchor on the left,
The great one Oh the right
gave his hand hearty grip,
$50 you are back again?
They say you have been piratins
Upon the Spanish Nam;
Or was it some rich Indiaman
You robbed of all her pearls?
OF course YOU have been breaking heart:
OF poor kanaka girls
"Wherever have been," he said,
81 kept my ship in sight
"The little anchor on the left,
The great one on the right"
81 heard last night that you were in:
walked the wharvcs to day,
But saw no ship that looked like yours;
Where does the good ship lay
want to 60 on board of her.
"And so you shali," said he
"But there ale many things to do
When one comes from the sea.
You know the song you made for me?
| sing it morn and night
The little anchor on the left,
The great one on the right"
''Dut how's your wife and little one
"Gome home with me-" he said.
SEQ on, go on follow YOU"

He had a pleasant little house;
The door was opened wide,
And at the door the dearest face
A dearer one inside.
He hugsed his wife and child he sang
His spirit was so light

The great one on the right.

And he and | he looked at them,
And looked at me, and smiled

Upon the stormy foam,
And though thousand league away,
Am anchored here at home

This great ore Oh my right

The Folded Hands.

Some hundreds of years ago in tie
quaint old city Of Nuremberg there
lived two boys. Franz Knigstein and
Albrecht Durer. They wanted to be
artists, and entered Michael Nohlge-
muth's studio for instructions. The
parents of both We're poor, and work
I'd hard to provide for the boys till they
should be able to care for themselves.
Both boys were industrious and frugal
and affectionate, but Albrecht possess
ed genius, while Eranz had only an in
tense love for his art. Shadowy WIS.,
ions of beautiful pictures haunted him,
but his was neither the hand Lor the
brain to realize them on canvas.
ears passed, and still the two
friends hoped and toiled on; one went
to Italy, the other continued his stud
les in Germany. Franz married, and
by and by Albrecht. Their parents
died, and times were hard and art was
dull. Gradually some measure of sue
cess came to Albrecht, and he shared
his earnings with Franz, and still they
worked and hoped on.
So time went by, till one day they
planned together to make an etching
of the Passion Of our Lord. When they
came to compare their work, the draw
ing Of Franz was cold and iifeless while
Albrechts was instinct with beauty and
pathos. Franz himself saw the truth
then. He had reached middle age, and
he knew that his work so far had been
failure. He felt now how vain was
his hope of success, because, as he at
last realized, the artist soul had not
been born in him. 1t was as if he had
spent all these years in standing on
housetop trying to reach the stars. But
he did not murmur only for one pas
slonate moment he buried his face in
his hands. Then he said in a voice
broken and sad, but still full of manly
courage :-''The good Lord gave me no
such silt as this of yours, but some-
thing he yet has for me to do-some
homely duty is somewhere waiting for
me. SO long as | was blind, and l
have lost much time. But now-be
you the artist Of Nuremberg, and L"
''Stlll, Franz. be quiet one moment"
cried Albrecht, seizing paper from
the table.
Franz thought he was adding some
finishing touches to the exquisite draw
ing, and waited patiently, standing.
his hands twined and clasped together.
Albrecht drew few lines with a swift
pencil then he showed Franz the pa
per.
"Why, those are only my own hands,"
Franz said, 'sfor what where did you
get them ?''
And there was hardly need for an
answer.
Il took them as you stood making
that sad surrender Of your life SO brave
ly. And | said to myself, those hands
that may never paint picture can
now most certainly make one. | have
faith in those folded hands, my brother
friend. They will go to mems hearts
in days to come.
And the words of Albrecht Durer
were tru'. Into the worI Of love and
duty has gone tie story more touching
and helpful in its simplicity than any
comment on it could be. And over the
artis ic worl has gone the picture, for
the Folded Hands, by Albrecht Durer,
are but the hands Of Franz Knigstein,
once folded in sweet. brave resignation
as he gave up his hearts dearest wish,
and yet had faith that the Lord had
some Lomely duty worth his doing.
