ENTERING IN.
The church was dim and silent
With the hush before the prayer;
Only the solemn trembling
Of the organ stirred the air.
Without, the sweet, still sunshine;
Within, the holy calm.
Where priest and people waitel
For the swelling of the psalm.
Slowly the door swung open,
And a little I aby girl.
Brown-eyed, with brown hair falling
In many a wavy curl,
With soft cheeks flushing hotly,
Sly glances downward thrown,
And small nan Is clasped before her,
Stood in the aisle alone.
Stood half abashed, half-frightened,
Unknowing where to go.
While like a wind-rocked flowor
Her form swayed to and fro:
And the changing color fluttered
In the little troubled fa - e,
As from side to side she wavered
With a mute, imploring grace.
It was but for a moment;
Wh4; wonler that we smiled
By such a strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts beguiled
Up then rose soma one softly,
And many an eye grew dim,
As through the tender silence
He bore the child with him.
And I, I wondered, losing
The sermon and the prayer,
If when some tune I enter,
The many mansions fair,
And stand abashed and drooping
In the portal s golden glow,
Cur frod will send an angel
To show me where to ge!

BY E. C. W AGUES EK.
Paul C was a "jolly good fellow,"
so every one said. Thirty years ojd,
perhaps, a i arissian in every senge of the
vord, with that courageous nature, lively
and a little inclined to teasing that is
the characteristic of the children of
Paris. Nevertheless he had an excellent
heart, and was ready to throw himself
into the lire if necessary for the very one
whom an instant beiore he had made tl e
target for his jests.
It was at K . that pretty little
neighboring city to Puy, that Paul found
himself one morning for pleasure ana the
drinking of certain healthful waters, for
R , as every one knows, is a charm- i
ing resort, and tilled, during the sum- :
aner at least, with a crowd of guests, j
Paul and his friend Edouard Duchesne j
were at the same hotel and took their
meals together at the table d'hote, where
they hud for a neighbor in front of them
an Englishman, known to be very rich
and very eccentric, and whose life, they
said, was but a series of endless journey
ings around the world.
If Paul betrayed himself a Parisian in
every act and feature, so did the stranger
betray the nativity of his country. Short
of stature and fat, the face broad and
ruddy, the skull ia'd and shining, the
beard blonde, the eyes blue as corn
flowers, he was truly the most perfect
type of an Englishman that it is possible
to imagine. More than once Paul had
caught himse f smiling at the impassible
visage of Sir Arthur Jacobson for such
was this stranger's name. This evening,
then, when the events occurred that I
am going to tell you of. and, by the way,
the evening of departure of the two j
young men, as the dinner was drawing '
to a close, exhilarated doubtless by the
'l'ampagne they had taken. Paul amused
hi nself while talking to Kdouard in roll
ing oalls of bread crumbs and launching
them between thumb and finger, as
school ch.ldren launch balls of paper, at
h:s neighbor the Englishman. It was a
thoughtless, not to say rude, exhibition
on the part of Paul, but then Paul was
not quite himself, and the temptation
f for the moment irresistible.
As the first pellet struck the arm of
Sir Arthur . jicobson. he slowly turned
his clear eyes upon Paul and his com
panion, but his broad physiognomy lost
nothing of its habitual placidity. One
-would have supposed even that he had
oetn and comprehended nothing, had it
not bceu for the lact that with an air of
the utmost indifference and phlegm he
lifted the morsel oi bread crumb and
slipped it into the pocket of his vest
still, however, without uttering a sylla
bic. The bearing of this man was well cal
culated to excite the teasing humor of
the Parisian, ami scarcely a moment had
elapsed since the launching ot the first
pellet when a second folio wed it, and
taking the same direction as the first,
went to flatten itself upon his shoulder,
and, like the other, to travel the road to
Sir Arthur's pocket. Angered a little
by this systematic imperviousness, and
certainly for the time being blind to the
insult and inconvenience that such pleas
antry had for its object, Paul be'ieved it
his duty to repeat his pellet for the third
time. It struck his vis-a-vis upon the
forehead immediately between the eye
brows. And still he received it with
neither a movement nor a sign, though
the waiters at the table could scarcely re
press their hilarity on seeing him, with
the same stoical gravity, lift his hand,
remove it, anjd send it to join its com
rades in his pocket.
This amusement, in bad taste as you
are bound to admit, had lasted long
enough, and as the guests were quitting
the table. Sir Arthur rose and followed
their example, and Paul and his friend,
their heads decidedly heavy with wine,
got up in turn and went to smoke a
cigar on the terrace. Hardly, however,
had they made their appearance there
than Paul found himself confronted by
his recent victim, who regarded him full
in the face, and in excellent French
about to give the word, the Englishman
checked them."
