WHEN WE COME
AND WHEN WE GO.
"Everybody laughs iu thesis days lit
tlio old story of the IrUIi banshee," said
gentleman of national reputation lately
as lie chatted with ufiicud or two in the
office of tlio Continental, "and I am not
saying that it was but a superstition after
all, though there is a little thing connec
ted with niy family that is a strange coin
cidence, to call it even that.
Once, when I was a boy, I woke up
during the night weeping bitterly, and
when my mothe r came, to my bedside I
told her that I had dreamed that a (jeer
ly dressed old woman had come to lue
under a large oak tree aud had warned
uie that my brother Leonard, who was
my senior by several years, was going to
die very soon. I noticed then that in
stead of calming my fears my mother
listened to me without saying a word,
ud presently I saw that she, too, was
crying as hard as 1 was, 1 ai-ked what
was the matter, and though she put uie
off I did not forget the strange effect on
her that my dream had produced.
"It could not have been a week after
that that my brother camo in una after
noon from school aud said he was going
to join a paity of young people in a
leighing excursion to the next town.
My nioth.r was very unwilliug fur him to
0 aud coufessed to all sorls of nervous
fears, very unlike her Usual calm aud self
lijnt self, hut my brother insisted nud
at last went off, fallowed by my mother's
anxious eyes Within three hours we
receivid a telegram saying that ho had
been kiiled by the horses attached to the
sleigh hecoming frightened, and, ruuuiiig
away near a railroad track had thrown
my poor brother under the wheels of a
train.
"When his mangled body came home,
my uiolher met it, saying to her sister,
who was visiting at our house for the
day: 'I knew it, Fanny. II., hero saw
her tlic other night,' and fur a long lime
I wondered who Iho 'her' referred to
could be. I was nearly grown when 1
again saw tlio old woman of my boyhood
dream. I was about to graduate at oui
homo university and was studying hard
for tlio final examinations was sitting up
lite one night reading over sjmo ques
tions iu mental philosophy when I drop
ped oil to sleep iu my chair.
"Then I dreamed of standing once
more under a lurge oak tree, which was
pirticulaily marked about tlio bark by a
r'.ng about three I'oet above the ground.
Hero I was, lacing au old woman iu a
e.rvont's dr"ss of the thirteeuthor four
teenth century, I should judge, and this
o!d woman was telling me that I would
see uiy father uo more iu hie. I was u
good dual won ied over this dream, re
membering my former one and its tragic
sequence, but had ceased tothiuk of it in
thohuiry aud auxicly of the examina
tions, when one day old I'rofcuior II ,
called to mo as I was passing from one
classroom to another aud asked, ' II , isu'i
your father in Switzerland ?'
"I replied that ho was, for his health
had failed so ularmiugly lor months pa I
that ho had beeu ordered uhroul aim
had been rapidly gotliog well iu the
uiouotaius of Switzerland. Ho had re
ccnlly joined the Kuglisli parly in an
expedition to Mont Wane and had wrii
ten iu fine spit in rcgardina the trip.
Professor 1). said uo more, but I came
cross in a lew minutes a newspapir
containing au account of nn American
who had boon killed by falling down
crevasse in the Swiss Alps.
"No particulars were known or given
by the paper, but l knew li, yes, l
knew that the American was my father,
and so it proved. I told my widowed
mother of the strange cojncidguw of my
second dream, and she replied that the
warning would never failj that it had
eono with her through her Mo, and thai
her mother had told her that this it ran.
phnntnm had also iiiven her waroimr of
every disaster she had experienced. J hi
old womtn, whoever she was, was al
wavs accompanied in her missions of
woe by the oak tree marked as I have
said. The whole thins i ft mystery to
us, but it is true, every word of it.
"If the thing issoniethingsupernatural,
qone o us has any idea who tlio woman
oould have been or wny she eaiue mo
bird of ill omen to prophesy evil to
plain American family, sans castle, sans
legends, sans romance. And 1, lor one,
am particularly interested in why the
oak tree should have come down to us in
connection with the ghost. I would
somehow hate to think that some douyht
ancestor of mine had, after the playfu
little manner of the good old times, put
some faithful servant to death in a way
in which an oak troo took a prominent
Sart, but I should not bo surprised if he
id) indeed I have a sneaking belief that
that is the true explanation of the whole
(bingj though am sofl'y thai same lev
vant is to unforgiving as to take it out on
me by bringing me bad news, which, if
ihe'-d only wait long enough, would reach
me with proverbial rapidity." Phila
delphia limes.
When we Come Into the World
We Bronilt a Great Possi
bility; when we leave it
we Shall Carry the
Record of what we
Have Done.
A. ll.rM.
For we have brought nothing into this
world, and it is certain we can carry noth
ing out. I. Timothy, vi., 7.
If this statement concerning the Iwo
"nothings," one at the cradle mid the
other at the grave, were isolated from
the context we should boldly assert that
St. Paul was mistaken. It is entirely
clear that we bring a deal iuto this world
and that we carry a great deal out of it.
Unless we bring something wo have uo
tools with which to accomplish the task
that the Almighty has set us; unless we
ke something with us it would be man
ifestly unfair either to reward or con
demn, for the condemnation and the re
ward must depend on what we haye iu
our possession when we stand at the bar
of judgment.
St. Paul, however, explains himself
when he refers with great severity of
rhetoric to a class of people who are un
der Iho delusion Ihat "gain is godliuess,"
and his injunction, "from such withdraw
tliyscll, is a warning not to spend too
much time iu gathering what you must
cave ueliiud and too little iu acquring
what you may take with you when you
depart.
Iu other words, the object of revela
tion is to teach a man the dilferenco be
tween llie riches which he must leavo In
his heirs and assigns and the wealth of
character which is his inalienable p.scs-
sion, an iutcgral part of himself both here
and hereafter.
Death makes every man financially
bankrupt. The moment lie dies he be
comes poor, there is uoilnng in the
B.-yond which ho can purchase with
cash. No shroud, therefore, has a pock
et. The gold from no mine, the money
from no mint passes current in heaven,
Tlio angels carry no purses, nud the jin
le ol coin is never heard, lou will not
get what you want by paying fur it, neither
will you lack what you need because you
have no money. What you have and
what you lack will depend wholly
your deserving.
It is very interesting, then, to discuss
the two questions. What did we brin
into this world r and what can wc carry
out ot II? for the answer enables us to
formulate that policy of aetiuu which will
produce the best results.
1 ho wise man will Bpend Ins greatest
efforts in acquiring what ho can keep,
and it is tolly to exhaust yoursell in
working for what Death will disdaiufully
Tell you canuot bo transported.
i lie purpose ot religion is to inspire
you with sound and broad ideas on this
subject, to restrain you from wasting your
(Torts of little moment. Religion and
common sense, therefore, or, to put il
stiil more forcibly, religion and the high
est philosophy, are one aud the sunn
thing.
1'irst We brought our bodies into
this world. This is of no special conse
pience, because we need them only whih
we are here and shall leave them in tin
grave when we uo henoe. Tlio Church
has an odd theory that we shall tak
ill em wi'h us, but it is to bo hoped that
this is an error. It is certainly a vciy
undesirable thing to look forward lo.
Ry the time we get through with them
they will be pretty well worn out. The
body is only iho soul's raiment, and when
wo reach heaven we shall need a change
Secoud We camo iuto this world a
bundle of undovi loped faculties. A child
ia fa'ot of possibilities. Nut what he is,
but what he may become, gives him in
terest an 1 value. We du not care i
much for his enviiuumi lit as for what he
will make mil of it, llis natural quali
tics are simply an opened chest of ton!
and thn experiences tluough nhic'i he
will pass are the tuateri.il o.ii ol which he
is to make suiuelhing.
He may be bom in a palace, or ho
may be born in a have'; theao are mere
accidents or incidents. With our false
notions of good and ill fortune we oxng
gerate the importance or surroundings
but the eternal is that surroundings are
of very little consequence.
A daily laborer can make as much out
of his soul as his employer can make ot (
of his. Neither riches nor poverty iui
pedo spiritual progress. Que can be as
noble In two humble rooms as in the
costly mansion, for whether you arc in
the one or in the other the same events
happen to you, and they must be con
trolled by tlio same qualities of charac
tor.
iorron j, gurfoyf whenever you tind

there is a costly monument above it or

cover they ure independent of wealth or
poverty and come to all alike, nud when
you look at the hearts of men you find
the same measure of human nature in
them all.
Now, when wo lake our d -parture,
what shall we carry with Us?
Death is a Icrriblo democrat. When he
comes he takes no note of where or how
you have lived, lie ignores all class
distinctions with a kind of contempt.
He docs not care whether your body is
clothed in liueu or rags, lie has been
sent for your soul, your naked soul, pure
or impure, and that ulono will he take
with him. Ho strips your enuroninenl
from you as you would thiow aside a
tattered garineiit. The ouly ihiug he
will allow you to cairy absolutely the
only thing is your character.
When you reach heaven you are what
you are, neither more uor less; aud your
surroundings in this life are of no ac
count whatever. If you have done well
then you will have reason to be satisfied;
if you have done ill, you will see that you
have made a mistake. Thai is the slein
and relentless truth of the case.
When wc camo into the world we
brought a great possibility. When we
leave it wo shall carry the record of what
we have done, and whether that is to be
little or much depends entirely upon our-s.'lvcs.

The most tell' possessed woman I evir
saw is just now one of the belles down at
Old Point Comfort, says a correspondent
of the Washington Post She is a per
fect Juno as lo figure, and hall'thc manly
heads of the place have been turned by
her, and the other half would give all
their hopes of the hereafter to bo culled
she calls her spaniel "Sweetheart."
The young lady has played no favorites
among her admirers, however, and an
examination of her card at any of the
dances would show a list of names as dif
ferent as those on the register yonder.
The other day she went up for her
usual promenade on the ramparts of the
forts, and, as usual, was accompanied by
her aunt, who is her chaperon, one of
her rigid rules being to allow no man to
escort her wheo she takes her meruit g
constitutional. Ily somo uggiavating
cause she lost au article which is au im
port a til part of the feminine apparel. It
happened that a bright young devil of an
army elhci r came aloug and picked it up.
He caressed the narrow strip of blue silk,
iduiircd the artistic workmanship of the
jold contraptions on either end uf it, and
upon closer examination, deciphered those
initials that agreed with those borne by
the charming creature who was swaying
along the path a hundred yaids in front
of him. With characteristic honesty be
hurried after her, and, catching up,
handed out the article, with a bow of
consummate grace, saying: "Miss II ,
pardon mc, but I believe this properly is
yours.
She thanked him with a cordiality that
made him almost stutter, and turning lo
her aunt, remarked, with iipparent un
c inseious naivcle :
"Sweetheart is such a careless fellow.
Come here, you rascal " Then, as the
spaniel respouded to her call, she fasteued
the daintjf creation around his neck, and
bowing sweetly lo the oflieer, passed on
with the wondering animal scampering in
front of her. If her pet had been a toy
terrier she would have been lost. It is
scarcely necessary to add that when
Sweetheart returned to the hotel he was
not sporting a blue silk collar with clasps
on it.

FADED JACKET OF GRAY.

The following pomi in prose was
wiilten by Smith Clayti-n, of fleurgia,
il dedicated lo the Ladies' Manorial
Association i, I' Atlanta ;
The in igh ol the iron horse nnd ihe
song ol llie spindle mingle merrily, ami,
on eagle wing, tin- new South sweeps to
great and glorious future; while iu her
weed.-, with sad face and bowed heart, the
Id South bends lovingly over llie sacred
ruius of a brave but bitter past. Ilul
the Smith is .-till the South, aud ihc
lid of the old shall never bo forgotten
iu the graiideui of the new, for between
the two lies a sweet uicinoii.il which
bind.s our heaits to the past, e'en while
our bauds build (he future.
The Faded Jacket of 1 1 ray ! The
violet's breath is not swcclir than the
meluoties by which it is hallowed the
hiiiimeiing stars are not more splendid
i the glory amid which it was folded I
Hriug it forth today. Willi gentle haiid.-
mooth out these precious folds ! A
thing inanimate, it yet speaks with most
loqucnt tongue. Its solid front tells of
the dust of righteous battle, and its rag-
(cd edges voice the cruel scars of van
quished veterans. It tells the solemn
but grand storv of thousands of bright
words which sprang from their seabards
at the call of duty. It tells of the fiery
'barge tlio stubborn light the bleed
ing hero iho dead patriot the adriot
retreat the muffled drum the sable
plume uodding above these liodlikc men
who gave, and gladly gave, nil that is
jest in life (safe honor) aud life itself,
(or liberty ! Kvery button has its mem
ory, bolli dark and bright; every scum
igcs some patiiut's daring deed; its
Very silence is the pathos of the honond
dead !
Iu this land of the South the Faded
Jacket of (j I ay, is a couiini n heritage
freighted with a common woe. It hangs
alike ill the hut on the hillside aud ill
the mansion of the city. In many,
alas! how many homes, is it bung upon
the vacant chair, never more to grace the
form which long ago filled a Southern
soldier's grave! Its rustle is the orphan's
plaintive cry, nnd o'er its blessings aud
s Might is breathed the widow's prayer!
'Faded and worn! Yes, but the
auJie.-t hue which tints the arch of
Heaven is not more bright than ihi
lame dim shade vhich dims our eyes to
day, and the tooth of Time but makes
ti'-arer and dearer the good and true
which its lewness proudly decked.
