St. Peter stood guard at tbe gate "With a solemn mien and au air sedate, "When up to the top ot the golden stair A man and a woman, ascending th? re, Applied for admission. They came and stocd Before St Feter so grtat and good, 7- ?Kf> rtitr ot Peace to win? JLLL LiiC uv^/vo wmv v^..^ To ask St. INster to let them ia. The w man was tail, and lank, and thin, With a scraggy beardlet upon her chin. The man was short, aid ?hick, and stout, His stomach was built so it rounded out, His face was pleasant, and all the while He wore a kindly and gentle smile. The choirs in the distance the echoes awoke And the man kept still while the woman spoke. "Oh, thou who guardes' the gate,"saidshe, ' "We come hith r bese< ching thee To let us enter the heavenly land. To play onr harps with the angel band. j Of me, St. Peter, there is no doubt ( There's nothing from heaven to bar me oat; I've been to meetin' three time a week, And almost always I'd rise and speak. < "I've told tbe sinners abouttne day When they'd repent of their evil way, j I've told my neighbors?I've told them all 'Boat Adam and Eve, and the primal fall; j I've shown them what they'd have to do If th ;y'd pass in with the chosen few. I've marked their path of duty clear ? Laid out the plan of their whole career. ] "I've talked and talked to 'em, loud and long; 6 For my lungs are good and my voice is strong. So, good St. Petter. you'll clearly see * The gate of heaven is open to me; But my old man, I regret to say, < Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow way. He smokes and he swears, and grave faults he's got And I don't know whether he'll pass or not. J "He never would pray with an earnest vim, ? Or go to a revival, or j >in in a hymn. ] So I had to leave him in sorrow there c "While I, with the chosen, uni'ed in prayer. He ate what the pantry chose to afford, While I, in my purity, sang to the Lord, * And if cucumbers were all he got. I It's a chance if he merited thtm or not. But, Oh ! St. Peter. I love him so, j To the pleasures of heaven plea elet him gol c I've done enough - a saint I've been, Won't that atone? Can't jou 1 t h:m in? By my grim gospel I know 'tis so That the nnrepentant must try below, I But isu't the some way you can see t That he may enter who's dear to me ? "It's a narrow gospel by which I pray; ^ ^ '* 1 4/> ?,3 enmn trav UQl loe cnosen vj uu? Of coaxing, or fooling, or bribing you So that theij rekt'ons can amble through; And say, St. Peter, it seems to me a The gate isn't kept as it ought to be, . v You ought to stand right by the opening ^ there, And never sit down in that easy chair. "And say, St. Peter, my sig'.t is dimmed. Bat I don't like the way your whisktrs are F trimmed. . t They're cnl too wide, and outward toes. They'd look better narrow, cut straight across. E Well, we must te going our crown to win, 8 So open, St, Peter, and we'll pass iD 1" J So St. Peter sat and stroked his staff,* ' But spite of his office, he had to laugh, t Then said with a fiery gleam of his eye, g "Who is tending this gate?yon or I?" And then lie arose in his stature tall, And pressed a button upon the wall, 1 And said to the imp who answered the bell V * Escort this lady around to hell." ii The man stood still as. a piece of stone? ^ Stood sadly, gloomily there aloLe; A life long idea settled he had That his wife was good and he was bad, He thought if the womhn went down below t That he would certainly have to go: ? That if she went to the region dim ^ There wasn't a ghost of a show for him. a Slnarlv be turned bv habit bent <; To follow wherever the woman went; ^ St. Peter, standing on duty there. Observed that the top of his head was bare. He called the gentleman bick and said. t Friend, how long hive you beeu wed ?" j Thirty years." (with a weary sigh) And then he thoughtfully added, Why?" St. Peter was silent, with head bent down; He raised his head and scratched his crown, Then seemed a d.fferent thought to take, Slowly, half to h:mself, he spake, 1 'Thirty years with that woman there? . No wonder that man hasn't any hair! SweariDg is wicked. Smoke's no good. He smoked and swore-I should think he I would ! 'Thirty years with that tongue so sharp? f Ho! ADgel Gabriel! Give him a harp! < A jjweled harp wi h a golden string ! Good sir, pass in wbtre the angels sing. Gibriel gives him a seat alone? j ' One with a cushion?up near the throne. 1 Call up some angels to play their best. Let him enjoy the music and rest! 'See that on finest ambrosia he feeds j He's had about all the hell he needs: It isn't hardly the thing to do To roast hio. on earth and the future, too." j 1 i 4- + ! f ! | They g\"*e him a harp with golden strings, j A glit ering robe and a pair of wings, And he said as he entered the realm of day, j "Well, this beats encumbers, anyway !" , And so the scriptures had come to pass, ( That "The last shall bj fir-t and the first shall be last." 1 ( ' Ha Fo:led ths Surges. i i All the doctors told Renick Hamil- i too, of West Jefferson, O., after suffering IS months from Rectal Fistula, j he would die unless a cosily opera- ' tion was performed; but he cured 1 himself with live b,xes of Bucklens Arnica Salve, the surest Pile cure on j Earth, and the best Salve in the i World, 2o cents a box.
