AT THE NARROW GATE.

Faint and weary is my heart,
Bleeding are my waywern feet;

Streaming are my eyes which smart
With the blinding dust and heat;

Burdensome hath been my loud

On the hard and rugged road,

Dark have been my crimes, and great,
Long I've trod the path of rin;
Knocking at the narrow gate,
Now I feign would enter in;
I would leave my load behind,
Peace and pardon I would ilnd.

Contrite ismy broken heart,
Overcome iny stubborn will;

T cun neyermore depart:

Thou Though slay me I must still
Trust thy mercy and thy g.a e.
While l hide my blushing face.

Tam full of sin and guilt,
Filthy garments cover me,
But for me that blood was spilt

Which was shed on Calvary ;
Wash me in the purple gore,
Wash me that I sin no more,

Wash me white as drifting snow,

Cleanse me in the flow
Only Christ then will I kp
Christ, my

Saviour, crucified,

Thon, who dying bled for me,
Set the panting exptive tree.

Jesns, tuke my trembling hand,
Open wide the heavenly gates
Lead me to that holy tad,
Up the narrow way aud straight.

We cannot stand still in this world; we
must cither go backward ov forward; so
Trevanion galloped on to the bad as
fust ashe could tle quarreled with Hd-
ward, and once even struck him; but al-
though the young man turned deadly pale,
he did not return the blow, but endeavor-
ed to molify ‘Prevanion who being gen-
erally ina hallmaudiin state was easily
managed, ‘Trevanion bad an iron con-
stitution, and would not die, although he
was, with Edwiie’s assistance, doing his
best to get into the grave,

In the midst of this dreadful fife tie un-
happy man scemed sometimes to realize
his degradation, and would) pause with
the glass halt raised to his lips, aud then
set it down like one ina dream, and re-
main motionless for some time, with his
eyes fixed on yaeaney and his breath
coming conyulsively, dn these moments
his thoughts would revert to George; and
one dy he said to Edward, in a voice he
could not keep from ‘Trembling with op-
pressed emotion,

The lett ritten, and Treyanion
put his scrawl to it; but Edward took
cure that it never reached George — ‘Tre-
vanion waited and waited, Day alter day
he leoked for Ins Georgie, but the fae
miliary step was not heard in the ball, nor
the sweet yoice in ‘Trevanion’s room, And
the master of Garlield House would sit in
the twilight of the evening without speak-
ing until the punch bowl appeared, when
he would gulp the liquor down savagely,
seeming (0 say to it, “Why don't you
killme?? Tle became more and more
low spirited, and quarelled more with Ed-
ward who bore it Jike a saint, but who
would curse him heartily behind his back.
Trevanion hunted more than usual, and
practised at his mark; and, alas, his red
fave became purple as a plum, and his
figure became bloated, from his trips to
the puneh-bowl, Ile appeared to grow |
weary of Edward’s company, and when
the young fellow was, us usual, ready to
shoot with him, he turned on him,

“Stay where you be,” he said, pettishly ;
‘“T wont have you dogving me, Ned.
Im going to shoot alone bere hereatter.’

And he put his flask to his lips, and
alter along draught strode off. Edward
ran after him to remonstrate, but got a
blow for his pains; and Treyanion depart-
ed alone, and did not return for so loug a
time that Kdward began to hop he bad
broken his neck. But toward midnight he
eame back in a ferocious humor, and
smashing everything in his way staggered
into the picture y, locking the door
after him, Ie remained there a long
time and when he eime forth he shook
his fist under Edward's nose with a sten-
tori n laugh, at which Mdward had to get
out of bis presence that he might relieve
himself by swearing inf manner that
even Lrevanion could not equal,

But contusion must come some time to
the wrong-doer, and swiftly-came it to
Edward,one of the servants was taken ill,
and when the doctor informed him of Ed-
ward's schemes—how he had lied about

ants, cte,, ete,
Trevanion seut up a howl like that ofa
doomed spirit.
“My poor Georgie!” he eried, ‘ my
good boy! But that young villian hasu’t

Thank God Ly’e done right!”
His words we ysterious, «Thank
God I've done right!” sounded strange
coming from the lips of the man who had
wronged the only relation whoever loved
him.

Come he said to the servants who had
entered, thinking their master had gone
mad, ‘*come allot you!’ And, bursting
with rage, he caught Edward by the
throat, and, followed by everybody, bas-
tencd to the picture-gallery, On the
threshold Trevanion suddenly paused, re-
laxed his hold, and, without a word, fell
insensible,

‘The doctor was sent for, and announced,

his previous warning to ‘Trevanion :

* Stupid ass,’ as Mr. Garfield was
pleased to call me, he said, ‘begs to

me yet.

statethat the gentleman has been stricken
with paralysis ”

Thereupon there was a great uproar

“Silence!” said Edward, ‘take your
master to bed.”

This was done, and the next day the
doctor pronounced that Treyanion could
not recoyer, the stroke had paralyzed the
whole right side and deprived him of
speech. It wa fearfal visitation from
God upon the wretched nan. ‘The tongue
which had year alter year taken its Maker's
name in yain, now hung specehless for-
ever: the aim which had been so merci
to those around him was now a help-
mass of ilesh and bone,  ‘Treyanion
not, however, deprived of hearing for
left side was not affected by the para-
lysis, and when Hdward told him, with
wicked exultation, that he could not live,
the livid lips of the sufferer writhed them-
selvesinto a ghastly smile of mocking
contempt, Edward was alone with ‘Tre-
vanion at rhe time, and with a muttered
oath he struck the fallen man on the check
hissing into his ear:

«Remember the blows you gave me,
old dotard.”  ‘revanion’s eyes cursed
him for the deed, and he shranked back
appaled. But he soon recoyed, and at
once assumed control of things, and in
ransacking among his uncle’s papers to
his joy found the will which made him
heir to the Garfield estates, He flaunted
it before Treyanion’s face,

‘Now Tam sale,” he cried; ‘you will
never live to make another, You may
see George as often as you please,”

So George who had been refused ad-
mittane: many times, was now permitted to |
see Trevanton,and as his tears tel! upon the
econvulsed face of bis former benefactor
the dying man uttered an articulate moan,
so wild, so full of inexpressible anguish,
that George drew back in terror. ‘Treva-
nion’s eves moyed not from his face, and
ed his left arm around the young
neck, and drawing him close in a
» kissed him with lips

George ;

“Oh, Lrevanion! oh, my unele! fully
and frecly do I pardon you lor the wrong
you have done me!”

‘The hand of the sufferer clasped George's
lightly, and could not relinquish it. Then,
breathing with difliculty, he closed his eyes
and laid so quict that George thought he
fainted; bat suddenly he seemed to wake
(rom a perplexing reverie, and his eyes
began to talk to George. ‘Lhe young man
dimly understood that he wanted to be
raised in bed. Ile was right. But this
was not all, Trevanion pointed to an aim
chair, It was evident he wished to be
placed in it. George tnrned to the doctor,
who had just entered,

* May I do as he wishes?” he asked.
explaining ‘Trevanion's de:

Trevanion wayed him aside with a g'
ture of contempt, and turned his imploring
eyes to George and the servants, who had
gathered around the bed. The mute en-
treaty could not be disregarded by Gee

‘Tle shiuli at leas his whim grati-
fied,” he said; ‘* it may afford hin some

thavked George, and the sufferer was
placed in the chair. Ife was so exhausted

that for a few moments he became almost
insensible with pain and weakness. Llow
ever, he soon rallied, and mac urful ef
forts to speak, Ilis powerless tongue re-
tused its office, and his breath eame thick
and fast, George, trembling with agita-
tion, conld scarcely regard the scene, but
Kdward looked on with a sneer,

“Te had better be put back in bed,” ob-
served the doctor; ** This excitement will
only hasten his death,”

Trevanion motioned him away, and
pointed to the door which led to the pie-
ture gallery. There was a movement of
surprise. Whit could he want? Georg
as ed him, ** Did he wish to go to the p
gallery 2?) Lrevanion’s eyes answered

”

© This is folly,” said Edward, impatient-
ly; but he could not meet Prevanion’s ter:
rible eyes, and turued away with further
objection, ind George, who could not re-
sist his uncle’s mute appeals, tinuly wheel-
ed him into the gallery, followed by the
rest, [le motioned George to stop before
a certain picture, It was a large, tull-
length picture of his favorite ancestor, the
one he used to dlink toand talk to, At first
George thought Trevanion simply desired
to see thé painting before he died; but the
look of anguish which came over the stri k-
en man’s face when he saw he was not un-
derstood, convinced George that there was
some mystery which his uncle desired to
reveal,

‘Ile has something on his mind con-
nected with that picture which he wishes
to communicate,” said George. ** Does
uny one know anything about it?”

Ot course no one knew, and Edward
daughedcontemtuously, + The old drunk-
ard is mud.” he said.

* Be mereiiul,” cried George; ttremem-
ber he lying.

* Stop! raid the doctor, ‘he still has the
use of his lett hand; give him paper and
pencil, and let him write.”

Alas, Trevanion could not write! His

signature was the only mark ne could
make, and George shook his head.
*Itis useless,” he sid, sadly, and Tre-
vanion’s clenched hand showed how his
not being able to reveal his seeret in writ-
ing affected him, ‘The servants whispered
among themselves:

** Master’s lost his senses, and don't know
what he wants.”

George was the only one who watched
his uncle’s convulsed lace closely. — It bore
a look of stony despair which would have
moved a fiend to tears, For a few mo-
ments there was no movement in the reom,
‘Trevanion seemed to be deeply thinking.
Suddenly be raised his arm and made a
movement toward the picture. No one
could understind him, He repeated it,
George could make nothing of it. Tre-
yanion’s hard eyes, which tor years had
been dry and bright as those of u serpent,
were now filled with great tears, and the
cold sweat of mortal agony stood upon his
brow, He fainted,

* Take him back !° ordered Edward,

The chair was slowly rolled toward the
door; but as it crossed the threshold a vio-

jee the discovery to. his

lent convulsion seized Treyanion. his eyes
flared open, he writhed out of the chair,
and with superhuman strength dragged
himselt back to the picture, uttering inar-
ticulate moans of dreadful anguish. When
he reached the picture he pointed wild]
to it, in a confused sort of way, which
showed his strength was tast failing.

* Ile is dying,” said the doctor, ** Raise
him and put him in the chair.”

This was done. yevanion grasped
George’s hand likeavice. Again he made
the motion. George wrung his hands in
despair. .
«On, if I could only understand him!"
he said.

IIe knelt by the chair and strove to calm
him, but it was useless. Trevanion still
repeated the mysterious moyemeat with
his left arm,
Suddenly George uttered a ery.
. I know what he wishes!” he exclaim
ed,
‘* What is it 2” asked everyone,
** A pistol !”
“A pistol 2”

**'To blow his brams out,” screamed the
servants,
** No, no—it cannot be,” replied George.
“ This mummery shall go no further.”
interrupted Mdward, angrily; *‘take hin
baek to the room,”
Trevanion clung to George, and shook
his head slowly at first, then more slowly.
Ile was going fast; his livid face was be-
coming bloodless, his hand was damp and
felt like that of a corpse.
“Stop!” said George, ‘* touch him at
your peril.”
+L warn you not to give him a pistol,”
said Edward.
** By Ileaven, he shall have one!” shout-
ed George, glaring at the trembiing people
around him like 1 young lion, drawing a
pistol from his breast, he cocked it. and
placed it in Treyanion’s left hand,
A look of superhuman joy passed over
the dying man’s | Edward shrank be-
hind the servants, ing Lreyanion wish-
ed to kill him, Every one was breathless

countrymen, nor even by one of his class
of so called Free Thinkers, but was pen-
