llcforo poor Katie, could well recollect
her thoughts to answer, tho school was
dismissed, nnd she heard the teacher ox-
claini, as he pointed to the darkening west,
“ Hurry, home, children, or you will bo
caught In the shower.’!
Then Katie poured into tho sympathis
ing cur of hor littlo friend nil her troubles,
mid finished by saying, “I could not bear
to find it only a dream; I feel as If I must
sen Charley once nlorc. ”
“Whero do you think ho Isf” asked
Belle.
“ In honven, I know,” replied Katie,
“ and mother says ho cannot come to us,
but we eau go to him sometime;” and her
sobs broke out afresh.
“ Why don’t you go to him.how?” cried
Bi'llc.
“ X don’t know the wily,” said Katie.—
“I was very sick when tboy took him away
In the littlo cuflhi, and I don’t know whero
they Went.”
“Areyou-pure ho went to heaven?”
asked Belle, eagerly.
“ Oh, I kuotvtt,” said Kutio.
“Then,” said impulsive littlo Belle, ‘-‘1
con show you tho way—I saw where they
put your little brother,”
'At this announcement tho glad light in
Katie's tearful eye was beautiful to be
hold.
“ Well, will you show me, Bello—now,
this very afternoon ?”
“ Yi s, indeed,” cried Belli', nnd with
clasped hands, unmindful of tho gather
ing gloom, (rose little pilgrims set forth
on IheTr jpUrn'oy to heaven.
Once on the way, a doubt oppressed lit
tlo Belle.
t ‘ Oil,” said Katie, withswcotnssurancc,
“howClmrley would run to open the door,’.
mid her check flushed with nutlcipatlon.
“ Do you suppose Charley Is very hap
py?” urged Belle.
” Very,” said Katie emphatically.
“ And wlin t docs lie do all the time?”
“ Plays with the angels with such love
ly wings,” cried Kntie, with great anima
tion. “ And they pick up the stars that
lie all over the floor of heaven, and the
rainbow, I suppose they keep them up
all summer; and ohl Charley use to love
rainbows. lie once cried because'—'
“ Dear me,” said Belle, interrupting her
in great dismay, “It rains, Katie, and tve■
are ever so far from home; what shall we
do?”
“ But we are almost to heaven, ain't we?
T,ot us hurry anil-go in there. ”
“ Yes,” said Belle, “ I see the door.”
“ "Where? where?” cried Katie, breath
lessly.
“There!” responded little Belle, point
ing to tile little rising ground ami iron
door of tho village vault.
“ Oh!” faltered Katie, with disappoint
ment, “ is that heaven? Oh, Belle, it is
like n grent cave!” and hor little Hpquiv-
crcd sadly.
“Why,” said Belle, “ that is where they
took your brother—tho very place—nnd
you said he hnd gone to heaven; besides,”
continued she, brightening, " when we
get through tho little dark door, it may be
nil beautiful nnd bright on tho other side,"
“Perhaps it is,” said Katie, more hope
fully.
But now largo rain drops begnn to fall
vesy fast, and tho thunder storm, in all its
sublimity, burst upon the little travelers.
The burdened west seemed gleaming
like an ocean of flame, nnd tho floor of
heaven resounded to the solemn tread of
tile mighty thunder. Still llio little chil
dren, with clnsped hands anil pale lips,
pressed on, and tho angels who “do al
ways behold the face of our Father,”
watched over them lovingly, arid they
walked securely In the heavenly company.
At last tho busy, pattering feet reached
tho gloomy entrance, and Katie’s sweet,
hopeful lips were pressed close to the door.
“ Knock,” cried Belle; and with all her
strength, Katie did knock, nnd a hollow
echo was all hor reply, while the dead form
within heeded not the call froin fresh,
young, hopoful lips; and thelittlebrother,
with closed oyes nnd pnlo, clftspcd hands,
heard not the imploring cry—
“Charley, dear Charley, It is your sis
ter—your own sweet Katie; won’t you
open the door?”
“lie docs not hear you, Katie, it thun
ders so,” said Belle;, “lot mb wait a little
wldlo;” and they waited for the thunder
to cense. Soon there was ft lull In tho
storm, and again Katie, strong in fivitli,
knocked at the dreary door, and her lov
ing cry, “ Charley; dear Charley,” echoed
sadly back.
“Do you hear anything?” asked Belle,
with trembling lips; “ Is ho comlbg?”
“No,’’replied Katie; “I thought I once
heard his littlo feet, but It was only tho
rain.”
“Perhaps,” suggested Belle, with large;
Imaginative eyes, “jwrlmps ho Is playing
with the angels ft great way off, In n beau
tiful garden." '
“Ohl’* sobbed Kntlo, "I hope he will
not love the little nngols more than me.”
“Knock once more—Just once,’’ whis
pered Bollo.
With Wavering fliltli, again tho littlo
soft hand pleaded for entrance, and the
tremulous voice cried piteously—
“ Charley, darling, dear, sweet brother,
please open tho door to your own poor Ka
tie. Don't lovo tho littlo angels better
than mo. Oh, Charleyl Charloyl”
She threw herself upon tho wot ground,
and sobbed In an agony of grief alid dis
appointment.
“Katie,’’snld Belle, half frightened at
this outburst, “lot us go homo now, and
como again to-morrow and try.”
“No,” said Katlo, with touching hope
lessness, “ I shall novor come again. Let
Us go.”
She rose without nnothej; sob or fresh
tear even upon the tret check; but tho
grieved expression of tho sweet, childish
month was plMbil to behold.
Back again over tho dreary way went
Katie nnd Belle. Idttlc shoes wet, little
dresses dripping, littlo bends bent like
dew-laden flowers, little hearts very heavy.
At Kntlo’s door stood her anxious motle
Tho AllKnl or the House.

her confiding heart, exclaimed
“ Oh, mother, I have been knocking at

Dear, grieved, little Katie, rcfhsing to
be comforted in this thy first great sorrow,’
it may bo that ere tho violets come again,
God’s hand will beckon unnwarcs, anif
with a better guide thou shaft Indeed find

Tito Great Iiiccmllnry.
Tho Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal is responsible
for the following apocryphal story about
the Great Incendiary, Gen. Shermnii:
The army ofilcurs here are quite aston
ished at General Sherman’s mode of do
ing business. An olllccr yesterday called
to confer with him ns to breaking up Lin
coln Barracks near tho etty, nnd asked him
what he should do with'the property.—
“Burn it, burn It, sir,” said Sliennari im
petuously. “General,'’ said the,ollleor,.
“please put yoiir order in writing and I
will obey.” “Burn.it! burnitl”ligrilnex
claimed Sherman. The ollicer asked ids
written order therefore, when the General
asked wlmt was Its vulue. He was inform
ed it wns worth .satin,000. “Well,” said
Sherman,' “tho fact is this city Is a had
place for soldiers, arid I want to get them
away from it. You had bf.tler put it up
for sale aim clean tl;e tiring opt quick,’’—
Subsequently General Emory called to as
certain what orders he had for his depart*
inent. “Whatdcnarlment?” inquired the
Commander-iu-Clriof. “The Department
of Washington, D. C.,” said Emory.—
“Busted up, busted np, sir, yesterday. I
am going to get all tho troops out.”
That’s wliat'he used to say down hero
in Georgia, “bum it, burn it. ’’ .
