At the Beautiful Gate

Lord, open the door. for / falter;
faint in this stified air;
In dust and straitness I lose my breath;
q1nis life Of self Is a living death;
Let me into Thy pastures broad and
fair.
TO the sun and the wind from Thy noun
tains flee;
Lord. open the door to me.
There is a holier life, and truer.
Than ever my heart has found:
There Is q nobler work than is wrought
within
These walls so charred by the fires OF sin,
Where toll like a captive blind and
bound;
An open door to a freer task
In Thy nearer smile l ask.
Yet the world IS Thy field. Thy garden:
On earth art Thou stlll at home,
When Thou bendest hither Thy hallowing
Ny narrow work-room seems vast and
high,
Its dingy ceiling a rainbow dome:
Stand ever thus IN my wide-gwung door,
And toll win be toll no more.
Through the rosy portals OF morning,
NeU the tides Of sunshine bow;
Ger the blossOming earth and the glist
ening sea,
The praise Thou inspirest rolls back to
Thee;
Its tones through the Infinite arches 20;
Yet crippled ard dumb. behold me wait.
Dear Lord. at the Beautiful Gate.

Walter touched with his lips the
white little hand flung toward him in
the earnest gesture. What more might
have been said was prevented by the
quiet advance OF Mr.. Vernon.

conversation ensued, from which they
we're interrupted by Walter, who came
rushing in with face so CHASTITY they
both sprang up in alarm.
Quick, father, quick Come up to
Tom. He is hurt; he is dying, I am
afraid"
Mr.. Vernon seized flask of brandy,
preserved carefully for such exigencies,
and darted after his son, who had flung
an arm around Eleanor, and almost
carried her in his rapid fight back to
Tom.
At the foot Of the tall tree to which
the flag staff was nailed they found
poor Tom. He was lying just as Wal
ter had left him, with a face wearing
the awful, unmistakabe signet Of
DEATH Mr. Vernon shuddered, and
fiinging himself frantically beside him,
groaned:
"Oh, Tom, Tom, what terrible thing

little brandy in his hand and wet the
clammy, parted lips. and turning impa-
tiently to his father, said almost an
grily:
Why do you look SO hopeless? Help
me take him up; help me to do what

mo. no, lad, don't move me: it's no

Is Interesting Reading.
In Henry Greyille's diary is an In
teresting account of how Lord Elgin
carried a gift of steam yacht to the
emperor of Japan. This was many
years before the country was so thor
oughly westernized as it is now. Gre
vile says: "The people seem to be
courteous and extremely clean, form
ing in this respect a remarkable con-
trast to the Chinese. They appear to
be droll mixture of high civilization
and primitive simplicity. AS a proof
of the former. the power of steam.
the electric telegraph, telescope, ther-
mometers and barometers are known
and In use, while the latter is shown
by ladies' being constantly seen tub
bing themselves at the doors OF their
houses. The authorities, at first. re-
quested Elgin TO retire, but on his re-
fusing and insisting on carrying on
to Jeddo the steam yacht he was
charged to present to the emperor
they acquiesced with a good grace
and showed him every respect and
concluded the treaty between Japan
and Great Britain wsthost difficulty"

Why do you wait till ears are deaf
Before we speak our kindly word
And only utter loving praise
When not a whisper can be heard2
Why do we wait till hands are laid
Close-folded, pulseless. ere we place
Within them roses sweet and rare,
And lilies in their fiawless grace?
Why do we wait till eyes are sealed
To light and love IN deaths deep trance
Dear wistful eyes-before we bend
Above them with impassioned glance:
Why do we wait till hearts are stln
To Sell them all the love Is ours.
And give them such late need Of praise
And lay above them fragrant flowers
How oft we, careless. wait till life's
Sweet opportunities are past
And break our "alabaster box
OF ointment" at the very last?
Oh, let US heed the living friend
Who walks with US life's common ways.
Watching our eyes for look Of love
And hungering for a word OF pralsei

WOMEN STARING AT WOMEN.

A .fan's Comments on This Weakness
of the Fair Sex.
Two women pass each other on the
street Of provincial town; they are
not acquainted yet it is long odds that
one of them turns around to look after
the other-very short odds against
both doing so, says the Nineteenth
Century. 1t is not the gait or the
figure or the hair of the stranger that
has attracted attention; it is the dress,
not the person within it. The gentle
anarchists who are busy organizing
the decentralization of man win, OF
course, attribute this little failing to
the vanity of the feminine mind by
reason of mans tyranny in excluding
women from boards of directors and
other intellectual arenas 1t may be
conceded that psychology and better
ment are more recondite fields than
millinery, but this would be but a dull
world and far uglier than it is if every
woman had a soul above chiffons. Odds

contamination by no means desirable.
No, let all men who have eyes to sec

ing, but If one may speak and live tho
art should be studied with subtler tact
than is sometimes seen. 1t should be
better concealed; it is distressing to see
a young woman's eyes. wandering over
the dress Of her with whom she is talk
