THEIR EYES WERE OPENED.
How Sleeping Evangelists Were
Awakened by the Touch of
MarI<sman.

About so years ago, when DIR. Bloom
field was bishop of London, a church
was being built for parish in his do
cese and was nearly ready to be dedi-
Gated, says the Chicago Chronicle. The
good doctor about that time received
several letters complaining that the
architect of the new church had dis
figured the interior with useless gew-
gaws." Consequently the bishop went
down to the little town to make an in
spection of the building, and sum-
moned the architect to meet him there.
The bishop could find nothing amiss
with the exterior of the church nor
with the interior until, just as he
reached the chancel, he looked up and
saw four wooden images, apparently
guarding the pulpit.
what do those figures represent q"
he inquired.
"The four evangelists. my lord" re-
piled the architect.
"They appear to be asleep" said the
bishop.
do you think so, my lord?"
That's the way they look to me-"
said the bishop, decidedly.
John" called the architect to man
who was at work on one of the pews,
''bring your chisel and open the eyes
of the evangelists."

UPON A LOAD OF HAY.

I'm tired of urban clang and show of
gold,
OF all its grievous sorrows manifold;
So to the country, boys, I've run away
And beg ride upon your load of hay.
Here's ease that witches weary hearts to
rest,
And room for poor cramped souls, too
long repressed;
No high walled streets to dim Gods sun
light fair,
No Fashions pomp with supercilious
stare;
But winding tracks DER stones and stub
BILE brown,
And creaking, swaying hayracks, laden
down,
And plodding horses, faithful. strong and
Unknown to style, left just as wisdom
made.
Above are stretched the heavens, vast,
No strip of blue Unframed by towering
roof
To tantalize. Can hearts to love be dead
Mid these great gifts of beauty, freely
spread?
In this hard work, take honest, hearty
pride;
For should Fame's sons in grand pro-
cession ride
In vehicles, insignia of their birth,
The homely hayrack soon would seem OF
worth.
Why does the world forever venture so,
With high built loads to pass through
doorways low?
The proudest heads must do as we do
now
Before necessity and beams low bow.
A preacher? No. A farmers boy as you
i am again; and see, I'll prove 1t, too.
A pitchfork, pease-I'll help you NOV
away;
For those who ride, their fare must al
ways pay.

herself face to face with Mr.. Limkins;

down that paper; want your whole at
tention.'
Mr.. Limkins reversed the cross of his
legs, and shifting his paper slightly so
as to cover his face, continued to read.
81 want you to wake up little, con-
tinued Mrs. Limkins. you are the
most stupid man in this town. You
come home from the office at night, eat
your supper, smoke, read your paper
and go to bed; eat your breakfast in
the morning and go to the office. You
come home again at night, eat your
supper, smoke, read your paper, go to
bed; and so it goes day after day. l
don't get dozen words out of yeu day
in and day out, and you do not even
want to listen to me, when l talk. If
want to go out anywhere in the even
ing, have to go alone. You have al
ways some excuse for staying at home.
If l invite my friends here, you have
usually some business that takes you
out. My friends never see you with
me. and hardly know have husband.
This sort of life may suit you, but
il does not suit me. You have your
business and other things to interest
you during the day, / suppose, while |
am shut up here in the house; and
when you come home in the evening 1
want something else besides supper,
smoke and Tribune. Now l intend to
make a change" Here Mrs. Limkins
deftly took the paper from Mr.. Linn
kins, and rolling it up in her hands,
proceeded TO use it to point off her re-
marks.
Mr.. Limkins yawned submissively,
dumped the ashes from his cigar into
the silver card tray, and settled himself
as comfortably as possible to wait for
the end. Mr.. Limkins had heard these
remarks many times before; he knew
the story from beginning to end, and
also knew it was useless to try to es-
cape any part or defend himself in any
way. Experience had taught him that
it was best to sit quietly and take it
remaining silent to the end.
''Silas," continued Mrs. Limkins,
shaking the crumpled Tribune at him
viciously. II have made up my mind
not to stand this sort of thing any long
er; all my friends take their husbands
around with them and l have decided
TO bring you out"
Mr.. LimlSins said: oh" and grew
nervous. Mrs. Linkins was evidently
more determined THAI usual, and he
began to fear that shell had some sort
Of scheme up her sleeve that would

fiected for a moment. A good con-
science came to his relief. "Well," he

have been wiser to have restored the
donkey his liberty before he left him.
He could see the sad, lonesome look
in his face as it protruded from the
bundle of clothes-line; lying there
through the long night on the cold
floor of the barn.
All this was but few lightning
flashes through Mr.. Limkins' mind,
and he was vainly trying to fix his
thoughts on his subject. From this
point Mr.. Limkins was obliged to
proceed in a truly "extemporaneous"
manner. He wandered on tremulous-
ly-sometimes on the track, some
times off, and sometimes partly on
and partly off. Occasionally he would
get glimpses of his prepared speech;
and when he did, he would eagerly
fire them off-whether they fitted the
place where they occurred to him, or
not-sometimes getting things con-
siderably mixed
For instance, referring to Mr.. Linn
kins' notes at one place, he should
have said: "Who can tell how great
our sons may be, or what grand
thoughts the fathers of,"-and Mr..
Limkins, as he caught this on the
fly, challenged the company with:
"Who-who can tell whose son he may
be, or who his father WASP" Again, in
another place, according to the notes
that were slowed away in his inside
pocket, he should have said: sour
forefathers, who for eight long years
daily drank the bitter cup of want,
that we might now be free they
never hoped for such development as
this" And Mr.. Limkins waylaid this
as it went by, and waving his glass of
wine before him, said: Our forefa
theirs, who for eight long years daily
drunken that bitter cup that is now
so free-they never dreamed-of any
anything like this"
All things must have an end; and
when the marks of approval, which
Mrs. Limkins had been administering
from beneath the table, became too
pointed to longer overlook, Mr.. Linn
kins came to an end-abruptly.
Side by side Mr.. and Mrs. Limkins
silently walked to their home that
night; and to Mr.. Limkins there was
an ominous sound in the steady, de-
termined grinding of the snow and ice
beneath Mrs. Limkins' feet. Occasion
ally he stole humble glance in her
direction, but found nothing in the
steady, sober face to give him hope.
Sadly he turned into his street;
and as he still more sadly turned be-
meath an avenue of trees leading to
his own door the moon came out in all
her gentle glory; the stars looked |
down and through the leafiess |
branches the light of heaven shone
bright and merciful. The wretched |
man turned back with last longing |
look at the free, beautiful world with
out, and then with head humbly |
bowed to meet the torrent of just |
wrath, which he knew was sure to fall
upon him, he entered his cherries
home.
AS the door was closing behind him
a peculiar, hooking cry rang out on
the clear, frosty air-that inimitable
of SOUNDS which only
members of the donkey tribe can pro-
duce.
