ST. PETER.
St. Peter stood guard at the golden gate,
With a solemn mien and an air sedate,
When up to the top of the golden stair,
A man and a woman ascending there
Applied for admission. They came and
stood
Before St. Peter, so great and good,
In hopes the Gity of Peace to win,
And silted St. Peter to let them in.
The woman was ball, and lank, and thin,
With a scraggly beardleb upon her chin.
The man was short, and thick, and stout,
His stomach was built so ib rounded out,
His face was pleasant, and all the svhile
I3e wore a kindly and genial smile,
The choirs in the distance the echoes
awoke,
And the man kept still while the woman
spoke.
"Oh, thou who gnardest the gate I" said
she,
"We two come hither, beseeohing then
To let ns enter the heavenly land,
And play our harps with the angel band,
01 me, St. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing from heaven to bar me
out;
I've been to meeting three bimee a week,
And almost always I'd rise and speak.
l've told the niuiere about the day
When they'd repent of their evil way,
I've bold my neighbors -I've told 'en all
'Bout Adam and Eve and the Primal Fall,
I've shown them what they'd have to (10
If they'd pass in with the chosen few,
I've marked their path of cinty oleer-
Laid out the plan for their whole career.
I've talked and talked to them loud and
long,
For my lungs are good and my voice is
strong,
So, good St. Peter, you'll clearly see
The gate of heaven as open for mo,
But my old man, I regret to say,
Hasn't walked in exactly' the narrow way.
He smokes and he swears, and grave
faults t'e'a got,
And I don't know whether he'll pass or
not.
He never would pray with an earnest vim,
Or go to revival, or join in a hymn,
So 3 had to leave him in sorrow there
While I and the sheen united in prayer.
He ate what the pantry chanced to afford,
While I, in my purity, sang bo the Lord,
And if cuoumbere were all ho got
Its a chance if he merited them or not.
But, ole, St. Peter, I love him so 1
To the pleasures of heaven pleaee let him
e
I've done enough -a saint I've been,
Won't that atone? Can't you let him in
By my grim gospel I know 'tie so
That the unrepentant must fry below,
But isn't there some way you eau see
Thal he may enter who's dear to ane ?
Its a narrow gospel by which T pray,
Bot the chosen expect to find Some way
Of coaxing, or fooling, or bribing you
So that their relation can amble through.
And say, 8t. Peter, it seams to me
Thie gate 1au't kept as it ought to be,
You ought to Stand right by the opening
there,
And noyer sib down in that easy chair.
And say, St. Peter, my sight is dimmed,
But 'don't like the way your whiekers
are trimmed,
They're out too wide and outward toss,
They'd look bettor narrow, out straight
norms ;
Well we must he going our Drowns to win,
So open, 8t. Peter, and we'll page in 1"
St. Peter sat quiet and stroke his staff,
But, spite of his officio, he had to laugh,
Then said, with a fiery gleam in his eye :
"Who's tending this gateway -yon or I ?"
THE BRUSSELS POST
And then he arose in his stature tall,
And pressed a button upon the wall,
And said to 0300 imp who answered the
bell ;
"Escort this lady around to bell I"
The than stood still as a place of stone,
Stood sadly, gloomily there alone,
A life•lon,:, settled idea he had
That his wife 00a0 good and he was had,
Ho thonglit if the woman went down be.
low
That he would oortalnly have to go ;
That if she went to the regions dim
There wasn't the ghost of a show for him.
Slowly he turned, by habit bent
To follow wherever the woman went,
St. Peter, etancling on duty there,
Observed that the top of his ' head was
bare,
Ile welled the gentleman back and said :
"friend, how long have you been rued 8"
"Thirty years," (with a weary sigh)
And Hien be thoughtfully added, 'Why?'
St. Pater was silent. With head bent
down
He raised his hand and saratohed hie
craven,
Then, seeming a different thought to bake,
Slowly, half to bimeelf, he epake :
"Thirty years with that woman there ?
No wonder the mall hasn't any hair I
Swearing la wicked ; smoke's not good ;
He smoked and swore --I shoutd thiole ho
w001d I
Thirty years with that tongue so sharp ?

A jeweled harp with a golden string I
Good Sir, pass in where the angors sing 1
Gabriel, give him a seat alone,
One with a ouehion-up near the throne I
Call up some angels to play their hast I
Let him enjoy the music and rest I
See that on finest Ambro,ia he feeds,
He's had about all the hell he needs ;
It isn't just hardly the thing to do,
To roast him on eertb and the future

They gave him a harp with golden
strings,
A glittering robe and a pair of winge,
And be said as he entered the Realm of
Day

And so the scriptures had come to pass -
"The last shall be fleet and the first shall
be last."
