EARTH AND HEAVEN.

3
Mhere's more OF heaven on earth than
ss II earth-born senses would permit us see,
And heaven Is nearer to this earth, deem,
Than to our holden sight it seems to be;
There are pure thoughts that have no root
in self,
sssk not their own but rather others
\ That count this worlds best things as pal
try pelf
That cannot satisfy us If they would.
Silent and motionless as carven stone,
We gaze at times with an distracted air
Across the dim, mysterious unknown.
And span 1t with q thought, half wish,
half prayer;
Nor count it strange that heavens bright
ones should come
With comforting and strength into our
lives,
or that some light from heavens eternal
In hours of needed grace and strength ar
rives!
Yes, heaven lies all about us, even here;
We breathe its incense in the flowers
perfume,
The birds sweet song that falls upon our
Comes like a note Of gladness through the
gloom.
And there are thoughts Of love that come
and go
Like angels on the ladder Jacob saw,
That bear sweet fruitage even here below,
And from the wounded heart its arrows
draw.
Earth-born and heaven-born, both worlds
are ours,
Our feet tread one, while In the higher
sphere,
With hearts in love renewed and quickened
powers,
We breathe the higher life that knows no
fear.
Surely part of our employ in heaven
Will be to learn and rightly understand
The mysteries, to solve which we have
striven
While dwelling In this transient border
land.

he MEANT WELL.
But His Carelessness Got Him Into
Trouble with His Girl.

A young gentleman, whose gallantry was
largely in excess Of his pecuniary means,
sought to remedy this defect and save the.
money required for the purchase of expensive
flowers by arranging with a gardener to let,
him have a bouquet from time to time in re-
turn for his cast-off clothes.
It thus happened one day that he received
a bunch Of the most beautiful roses, which
he at once sent off to his lady love-. In sure
anticipation of friendly welcome he called
at the house of the lady the same evening
and was not little surprised at the frosty
reception he met with.
"You sent me note to-day" the young
lady remarked, after pause, in the most
frigid tones.
ia note?" he inquired, in blank aston
ishment.
Certainly; along with some flowers
ITO be sure sent you some flowers"
"And there was note inside-do you still
mean to deny it,"
With these words she handed the dunn
founded swain a scrap of paper, on which the
following words were written: Don't for

A FEW REQUISITES.
What Was Wanted of a Girl in One
Household,

The hired girl out of job cast her eagle
eye over the want notices of the newspaper.
"Wanted, Wanted, Wanted," she read in
one or two-line ads, straight down the col.
umn, shaking her head at intervals as if
disappointed in her search. Finally her
face lightened as she saw loaded notice
in another column of more pretensions than
its fellows.
She turned to it and read eagerly. Then
she threw the paper from her.
"What's the matter?" asked the girl with
her:
"Read that" and she gathered up, the
sheet and handed it over to the other one,
who read this notice:
"Wanted-A young and strong woman of
good disposition and habits, obedient and
knowing her place, willing and ready, act
i've and efficient, to cook, wash and iron, do
general homework and take care of chill.
dren. Evenings and afternoons off when
possible. Apply, with references, etc., etc."
"Well?" said the reader.

looking for work. "Ihat man, whoever he
is, is advertising for wife, I should say

"Would you like to see his letter"
1T certainly would. don't believe
you can show any such document. I
challenge you to do So"
threw out this challenge quite bold
~, but inwardly l felt little weak
over the possibility that father might
have been foolish enough to write such
letter. He had often spoken to me
of Amy and limited at the desirability
Of u match between us. He had even
said that Abel himself had written that
he would be agreeable to such an al
lance. But this was before the differ
ence. These reflections sobered me
somewhat, and I said, mere mildly:
''Mr. Braithwaite, will be frank with
you and say that expected far diff
ferent reception here, and fear that
my surprise, and may say disappoint-
ment, has led me to say things should
not"
"You can hardly patch the matter up
now, young man. But how could you
expect a different reception? You can
rot be conscious of your impertinence
in calling here at ALL"
''Is it impertinent for me to wish to
see your family when I have not had
that pleasure for so long?"
''To be sure it is when you come on
this errand. There is some limit to the
forbearance of friendship. But you
have amused me enough now, and I'll
ask you to-"

lie turned his head to listen and stood
waiting disdainfully. The maid went
to the door and brought a card to Abel.
He cast a glance at it, sprang up, came
toward me and asked:

to call again, then, running into the

"Amy, come down here and see the

He did not need to call twice, and in
a moment I was made glad by the
greeting I had hoped for. The similar
ity of the disputes Mr.. Braithwaite had
with Mr.. Downs and my father may be
easily surmised. There were facts in

The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1898-11-03

THERE was a most laughable
force on the boards at the Rempel
House Office on the arrival of King
Charles the Calculator on last Fri
day evening. The lowering moths
of the Republican prosperity would
soar up to the shining light Of their
existance, and getting too close,
they would get their wings singed
and fiutter away. 1t was disgust
ing to see these men upon whom
this old duffer had spat and rubbed
it In, dancing around him like
monkeys on stick. The old King
Of debauchery, was kept busy
avoiding tramping on the little
fish padding around him. Poor
souls. King Calculator cares about
as much for your poor frame as he
does for a mouse In the street.
