ANGEL COURT.

By Austin Dobson. In Angel Court the sinless air Grows faint and sick; to left and right The covering houses shrink from sight, Huddling and hopeless, eyeless, bare. Misnamed. you say. For surely rare Must be the angel shapes that light
 In Angel Court! Nay; the Eternities are there. Death by the doorway stands to smite; Life in its garrets leaps to light: And love has climbed that crumblins stair

trembling in life and love and laughter was robed in golden raiment as soft and clinging as if by sunbeams spun, and over her the gods had flung a charm of grace that thrilled as If it might have been a thing the sense of touch could feel, to the souls wide wonder and ado ration. About her exquisite shoulders clung a sillsen mantle of snowy white, and now and then as she threw out her white and faultless arm in laughter there was crimson glow that was re- flected in some unseen way in her beau- tiful face that was radiant in happiness, her luminous eyes as bright as the stars that lent their light to transhgure her as dream of surpasslng maidenly loveli- ness. One was humbled in the superla- lively enchanting presence of that young Diana at the crossing of the ways.
 By and by there came a car to bear away into the night the maiden and the splendid youth her knight attendant, and they bade the man who had been charmed there by her laughter and her sweetness to go with them.
 
 The car, drawn by unseen power, sped away through the night as if to finish the Journey of joy before her laughter fell. Flying past homes and gardens and green trees, which they saw not, the car thundered on to the foot of the green mountain. Every turn of the wheels gave forth "joyjoy-joy-joy, and laughter and merriment, jest and g1ee beat out into the blackness.
 Winding in and out and around the mountain, the speed of the car and the pace of joy were kept unslackened Care and all things but themselves were for got by the speeding three. Kings are blest, but they were glorious, OCT all the ills of life victorious.''
 She seemed to grow yet more lovely, yet more entrancing figure of happi- ness, as the car neared the end of that journey of joy; and so they went onward fin gladness Her golden raiment. with some few little thin lines of black set to soften the glow. the white mantle with it's crimson lining, the white arms impulsivey thrown out in gleefulness, culver with her abundant life and bright ness and joyousness.
 At the journeys end the white mantle gleamed in the darkness outside the car, and the voice of Hope cried goodnight.
 Hope springs eternal in the human breast" my beloved.
