Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-10-01

vvn.e out so the troubles OF this life may
follow us to the shining door, but they
cannot get in. "Without arc dogs!' l
have seen dogs and owned dogs that l
would not be- chagrined to SEQ in the
heavenly city. Some of the grand old
watchdogs who are tho constabulary of
the homes in solitary places and for
years have teen the only protection for
vito and child, some of the shepherd
dogs that drive back the wolves and
bark away the flocks from going too
rear the precipice, and some ct the dogs
whose necEs and paws Landseer, tho
painter, has made immortal, would not
find me shutting them out from the gate
Of shining pearl. Some of those old st.
Bernard dogs that have lifted perishing
travellers out of the Alpine snow, the
dog that John Brown, the Scotch essay
list, saw ready to spring at the surgeon
lest in removing the cancer he too much
hurt the poor woman whom the dog felt
bound to protect, and dogs that we ca
ressed in our childhood days or that in
later time lay down on the rug in seem.
ing sympathy when our homes were
desolated. I say, if some soul entering
heaven should happen to leave the cato
ajar and these faithful creatures should
quietly walk in it would not at all dis
turb my heaven. But all those human
OR brutal hounds that have chased and
torn and lacerated the world-yea, all
that now bita or worry or tear to pieces
shall be prohibited. "Without are
dogs!" No place there for harsh critics
or backbiters or despoilers of the reputa-
lions of others. Down with you to the
kennels of darkness and despair! The
hart has reached tho eternal water
brooks, and the painting of the long
chase is quieted in still pastures and
"thero shall nothing hurt or destroy in
all Gods holy mountain"
Oh, when some of you get there, it
will be like what hunter tells Of when
pushing his canoe far up north in the
winter and amid the ice foes and 100
miles, as he thought, from any other
human beings! He was startled enc day
as he heard stepping on the ice, and
he cooked the life, ready to meet any
thing that came near. He found man,
barefooted and insane from long expo
sure, approaching him. Taking him into
his canoe and kindling fires to warm
him, he restored him and found out
where he had lived and took him to his
home and found all the village in great
excitement. A hundred men were
searching for this lost man, and his
family and friends rushed out to meet
him, and, as had been agreed at mis-
first appearance, bells were rung and
guns were fired and banquets spread
and the 1escuer loaded with presents.
Well, when some of you step out of this
wilderness, where you have been chilled
and torn and sometimes lost amid the
icebergs, into the warm greetings of all
the villages of the glorified and your
friends rush out to give you welcoming
kiss, the news that there is another soul
forever saved will call the caterers Of
heaven to spread the banquet and the
bellmen to lay hold of the rope i'll the
tower, and while the chalices click at
the feast and the bells clang from the
turrets it will be scene SO uplifting l
pray God may be there to take part
in the celestial merriment. "Until the
day break and the shadows flee away
be thou like roe or young hart upon
the mountains of Bether." -.--.~,
