ANGEL OR DEMON.
BY Et.LA WHfcKLKK WILCOX.
You call mo an angel of lore anil of light,
A being of ;o.Hlit?s ami heavenly fire.
Sent out from God's kingdom to uide you
aright
In path where your spirit may mount
and aspire.
You say that 1 glow like a star on its
eonr.e.
Like a ray from the altar, a spark from the
source.
Now list to my answer ; let all the world
hear it ; -
1 speak utafraid what I know to le true:
A pure, faithful love U tbe creative spirit
That makes women angels. I live but in
you.
We an bound soul to soal by life's hollo.st
lawa.
And If I au an angel, why. you arc the
cause.
At my ship Uim the sea I look up from
her deck.
Fair, firm at the wheel shine love's
beautiful form ;
Aad shall I corn the barque that lust night
went to wreck,
liS tho pilot abandoned to darkness and
storm ?
My craft was no stauncher ; she too had
leen lost
II ad the wheelman deserted or slept at his
post.
1 laid down ihc wealth of my soul at your
feet,
(Some woman does this for some man
every da v.)
No desperate creature who walks in the
street
lias a wickeder he art than 1 might have,
I say,
Had you wantonly misused the treasure
"you won,
As so many men with heart riches have
done.
This fire from God's altar, this holy love
fla me
That burns like sweet incense forever
for you,
Migkt now be a wild conflagration of
sham?.
Had you tortur;d my heart or been base
or untrue,
For angels and devils are cast in one
mould.
Till loe guides them upward or down
ward, I hold.
X tell you, the women that mnke fervent
wives
And sweet, tender mothers, had fntc been
less fair.
Are the women that might have abandoned
their lives
To the madness that springs from and
ends lu despair.
As the lire on the hearth, which sheds
brightness around,
Neglected may level Ihe walls to the
ground.
The world makes grave errors in Judging
these tilings.
Great good and great evil are borne in
one breast.
Jxve bonis us and hoofs us, or gives us our
wings
And the liest could be worst, and the
worst could lie best.
You may thank your own worth for what 1
grew to bo,
For tlia demon lurked under the angel in
met
A La Man's Incnnlty.
A Kingston man, who keeps a horyo,
takes a rido every morning beforo ho
goes to work. The only drawlwck is,
tlio horso must bo fed and watered before
the rido can bo taken. Heretofore tho
man has been forced to get up at an early
hour, go. to tho barn so.uo distance away,
to caro for tho horse. Lately ho has ar
ranged a bin and hopper, containing oats,
over tlw feedlox, which can be operated
by a touch of a door knob on the wall a
few inches from the head of his led.
An arrangement is also made for lot
ting on warer in the pail, by which tho
horuo is watered. When tho man wakes
up in tho morning, at that time when ho
feels that a eecond nap would le a preat
blcminx. ho pulls tho knob, which turns
on tho oats ami w ater, and then quietly
lies back on his pillow and goes to bleep.
Some would call this man lazy, but
others would say ho was an ingenious in
dividual, Kingston Freeman.
