however, 1 saw
id, stalwarVmen
Ing, toooer or later, through one
of thoee nneeen and dreaded trap
door*. Others were very care
less and walked along as If no
each terrible fate awaited them.
I wondered, in my dream, how
they could act so, How pitiful
It was to see one of those strong,
fine looking but careless men,
break loose from his companion
and suddenly, or after a brief
struggle, drop through the fatal
trap and disappear. How I pit
ied his sorrowing companion!
What a wringing of hands! What
a look of despair! Support gone
how uncertain her step! And
that wistful glance backward,
seeming to say, ‘Oh! that I could
start over again.’ But they were
all traveling onr way only on
that bridge. Then I saw that
several children were clinging to
her. As I looked, one of them
stepped upon a cruel trap, while
poor, weak creture, unaided
and alone, tried to pull lt s back
again. I looked to see if anyone
would offer to aid her. But no—
everyone walked on, pretending
not or caring not to notice her
trouble.
"But I observed also other fig
ures in black, and they, too, bad
children with them—ohubby-fac
ed, rosy-cheaked, well dressed,
happy little ones. What a (con
trast ! Only her somber garb told
the mother’s history. With the
best of care he, whose strong arm
had been ber support, (had not
esoaped the fatal pitfalls. Bnt
thkhk figures in blapk, unlike
very many others, carried each
a Golden Staff in her hand. What
A support it was! And the little
ones all clung to it. Just then
there came by, weary looking
and sad, one of the poor creat
ures I had first observed. As she
passed I saw her glance, Oh! so
wistfully, at the Golden Staff In
the hand of one of those more
favored ones. My heart ached
for her. How I wished each one
of those figures in black had so
strong a support!
"Hearing a rustling by my side
I turned to look, and saw, stand
ing near, the good Genius. With
that same smile on his fair coun
tenance with which, 1 doubt not,
he greeted the ancient Mirza, be
said: ‘Understandest thou, O
Mortal, all that thou seest?’ Re
assured by bis manner, 1 made
bold to inquire, 'Tell me, O Gen
ius of Mirza, what is that Golden
Staff I see in the hands of a few
of those figures in black?’ And
the good Genius answered: 'The
Golden Btaff which thou seest, O
Mortal, is the child of Love and
Wisdom and is called ‘Life in
surance,’ while those sorrowing
•nes, who carry it not, are the
neglected widows of the unin
sured.’ ”
