The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1896-06-24
A cHELp,s THOUGHT.

A little face, arrayed in golden curls,
Against the window pane in silence lies;
Two dreamy eyes, with wonder filled, look
far
Away into the depths of evening skies.
Forgotten toys lie scatter'd while she notes
The setting sun, fast sinking in the west,
Which paints with crimson, purple, shin
ing gold,
The mists that gather as it sinks to rest.
Mamma" she said, as If from dreams
returned
'tIs that the shadow of Gods house I
see
There pictured fair among the clouds,
The house prepared for you, papa and
me?'
NAY, nay, my child, no shadows there are
seen,
OF palace where our Father dwclls on
high;
The setting sun, while Whispering fare
well.
Throws back those colors on the evning
sky.
':Bui why. my love, does such question
rise?
While musing there, what dreams have
come to thee?"
81 only thought, II such the shadows were,
How very beautiful the house must be-"
Rev. W. H. Ilsley, in Chicago Interior.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1896-06-24

myself believe it wasn't so. That's
what was ut the bottom Of all those
little things You remember in the uni
versity days; you don't know how
desplse myself when think of it ALL"
mo, l don't remember anything but
what said IL moment ago--that you
were always peaceable sort of fellow"
THAT isn't it; it's one thing to be
peaceable from principle, and quite an
other to be restrained by wholesome
fear of consequences. It's always been
the latter with me. 1 can look back
over my life and see how I've been con-
tinually dodging. When was little
fellow, the fear of q whipping was the
strongest incentive to good behavior,
and the same argument has held good
ever since. You know that, Tom, if
you'd only admit it."
mo, l don't know anything of
the kind" protested Ludlow.
swell, it's true. You remember that
affair with Turnhull in the last year
when he went out of his way to insult
me. You took occasion to praise my
self-control, but want to tell you now
that it was the lnerest sham; l was
afraid to resent it, and that's the
truth"
"Nonsense!" retorted Ludlow; "you
did just right not to demean yourself
by fighting with cub of an under
graduate"
"I'm not arguing about that-it's the
motive; it was cowardice, pure and
simple; there's no other name for it.
What are you laughing at?"
ITS amusing to hear you vilify your
self. But seriously, Hugh. this is a
crisis that's got to be met. take your
word for it that you're properly in love
with Hester Latimer; if she does you
the honor to return your affection
which, l take it, is not yet foregone
conclusion-why, you're lucky fell
low, and you should be thankful enough
to fight her battles, and those of her
father and brother if need be. 1t may
not require such phenomenal degree
of physical courage, but it'll ask for
some of the moral variety; and there's
always wide possibility that it'll de-
mand both in heroic proportions. If
were in your place 1 should fight the
battle beforehand; then, if you find
you're not going to be up to it, the hon
orable thing is to pull out while the
girl is yet fancy free. That's pretty
straight talk; but you know me of old.
and you have invited franliness."
They were nearing the furnace yard,
and Iingbrand did not reply until they
reached the gate; then he grasped Lud-
lows hand and pressed it warmly.
YOU'RE good friend, Tom. I'll think
it over and try to do as you advise.
Only if l can't bring myself up to the
mark, you mustn't be surprised if l
should drop out unexpectedly. l don't
believe could face you or Mrs. Ludlow
after that"
