THE TWO GATES.
A pilgrim once (no runs an ancient
tale)'
Old, worn, and spent, crept down a
shadowed vale :
On either hand rose mountains hleuk
and high;
Chill was the gusty air, and dark the
sky:
The path was l ugged, and his feet
were bare:
His faded cheek was seamed by pain
ntid care;
His heavy eyes upon the ground were
cast.
And every stept seemed teenier than
the last.
The va’Jey ended where a naked
rock
Rose sheer from earth to heaven, as if
to mock
The pilgrim who had crept that toil
some way,

A ponderous sculptured brazen door

And tottering toward it with fast

Above the portal reud, "the gate
OF HEATH."
He could not stay his feet, that led
thereto:
It yielded to his touch, and passing
through,
He came i to a world all bright and
fair:
Blue were the heavens, and balmy
the air;
Aid low! the blood of youth was in
his veins,
And he was clad iu robes that held no
stains
Of his long pilgrimage. Amazed, 1,

Bel,old ! a golden door behind him
burned
In that fail sunlight and his wonder

Now lustivfiil audclear as those new

Free f r <>m the mists of age, care and

Above the portal read “Thf gate of
life.”
TOM ALLEN'S COURT
SHIP.
Winifred was a aainty bit of
womankind—a sunbeam—who
laughed as much as a linnet sings;
iuoreo7er there were dimples
lurking in her rose tinted cheeks-
She was well worth loving, al
though not an angel, for if she
had been she ceriainly would not
have been a woman, yet she cer
tainly was a thief.
A thief! Stealing hearts by the
wholesale
But she who so loved <o coquette
with hearts was at lust taken cap
tive ; for love conquered the mer
l ies*, and most mischeyioas maiden
who ever laughe J at bis wiles, and
love came to Winifred, now siniN
pie und delicious.
No two love niakiugs happen in
just in the same way, as no two
leaves are alike on the same tree.
One day it happened that two
gray eyes looked into hers, the
merest accident of course.
t'Wiunifred ?” brkl die owner of
them suddenly.
It was the first time that he
had called her by nev first name,
and tliere was something in the
look of those gray eyes whiih sent
the warm Mood to her cheeks
and caused a tumult of emotion—
it seemed to her like the finding
of a bunch ot violets in midwin-
ter. •
“He loves me,” she thought,
with a thrill of delight quite un
like former experience.
•Winifred,” he said tenderly
“you ate very dear to me. ’
“I have loved you devotedly al 1
these years,” and he waited for a
reply.
“And—l—love —you. —Tom —
but—
“Oh ! let there he no bnte. You
will love me 1 Winnie darling, let
who will oppose, will you not T”
“Y«s, Tom—till I die,” she said,
her face oil aglow with eagerness.
Then she paused abruptly.
Now Tom was only a clerk, with
nothiug but his salary to depend
upon rich with nothing hut hones
ty and good humor while her lath
er w’as wealthy.
“I feai my father will not favor
our love,” she continued witu
some dmbarrassmenl ; but I ought
to choose for myself—it is my
right.
The gray eyes had softened for
the first time in ''is life Tom had
told her and had found the telling
pleasant. He iold her too that he
bad not much to offer. Would
she be content with an humble
hone shared with a loyal heart —
with love instead of luxury ?

tent.
For a time these two sai with
clasped hands in a dreamy silence
Winwieis heait was full to the
brim—tLe tell tale color on her
checks—the confnsion of her eyes
were u'.ierances more potent than
words.
Then tuere ensued a quiet, ra
tional talk about their prospers
and the best way io “manage
father.”
Thomas Lane was a successful
mercanl—blessed with n full anil
pleuty—yet he had a vexztioD.
It was one trouble of his life how
to snub aud circumv nt a brother
merchant not meanly and mali
ciously, but good humoredlly.
Josiah Wrighth, with a deg iu
thomanger disposition had always
be n jealous of his old friei.d and
neighbor’s exemplary prosperity,
and he had kept up a series of
ve ty annoyances agaist Thomas
Lsue.
That day Mr. Lane had heard
some disparaging remark made by
“old Joshua,” as be was won< to
oall him. and te was brooding over
It's chair in his private office when
Tom his confidential clerk and
rigqt hand man unexpectedly eu*
tered.
“Glad you come, Tom,” he ex
claimed, “for I’m just a hit lonely-
Been up to tho house, but could
stao ; daughters gone for the sea
son to nunt Mercy ’s ; mean ;o take
a run down there myself next week
aud, Tom, now that I think of it,
you nnt run up to Sarat ga—m
my expen-ej ive noticed that
you’ve betn mopish of late, and it
will drive awaj the blues to be
among gay people. I don’t like to
>-ee out of sorts.”
“You are very kind, sir,” Tom
rep'ied.
"Poob, pooh ! Nothing of the
son. It’s ample justice. Come
come don’t look so dismal. Is
anything going wrong! .Just as
likoly as not some pretty damsel
has captured your heart.”
Ana the bindly natured mereh
ant rubbed his hands togeihei
gleefully, and glanced inqiiiiingn
ly at his favorife clerk, who stood
looking consciaus and sheepish,
twisting Lib fingers nervously.
“Well, sir, ’ he replied, "1 believe
that is just the tronb'e ”
A prolonged whistle and a mer
ry twinkle io his eyes expressed
the merchants astonishment for
after all it was but a random
guess.
“And so yon want to marry ind
settle down in life and have your
salary taised boy ?”
“Yes, sir; toat’s about i! ”
“A little bird told me, you sly
dog. that you are lookiug after Mur
jorie Wright. She’s a pretty girl
and worth a plum or two. You
coulun’t do better, Tom.”
' “But, sir, my dear girl’s father
is opposed to me. Why, I’m oniy
a poor clerk and, she is an heir>
ess.”
“Opposed! Is he? I should
like to know what objection he has
to you ? You love the girl
“IPith all my heart sir.”
“Abo she loves you r ‘
“Devotedly.”
“Then, with love in the home
and old Josiah's money to run it,
it might do. Yes, yes; it would
be admirable.”
And ilie old gentleman laughed
heartily at the idea, and then he
inquired wha; he meant to do about
it.
“1 must wait until her father
consents, I suppose,’ replied Tom
ruefully. “But what do you ad
vise me to do sir?”
“E«? Aliy, I know what I’d do
if I were young like you and loved
a pretty girl I’d try to win her
in spite of all the fathers iu the*
world. If she is willing to take
me, 7’d brave the old mau’a dis
pleasure and ruu off and get mai h
ried. ”
“Bu*. my dear Mr. Lane, I tear
he wou/d never forgive his daugh
ter, and 'hat would break her
Heart.”
“Pooh, pooh ! Girls hearts are
not so easily broken as you imag
ine. What fun it will be to have
old Josiah fret and fame and then
come iouad right—as he will, iny
boy, uevor fear. No, do, Tom you
go ahead, and I’ll furnish all die
money you need, and if the old
man is cross with pretty Marjorie

I'll bet that neither of you starve,
if it’s only to spite old cm .nild
geon.
“Oh, thank you sir With your
permission, then, I will try 'o win
her ’’
“All light, my boy. 1 don’t for
get that 1 was once young; and
mind when the knot is tied fast
you can come to my Louse at d
have it all ‘o yourselves until old
Josiah sends .'or you.”
“We’l, Mr. Lene, I’ll accept yonr
kind oft’er and go to Saratoga for
a few daysaidTom as he smiling
ly (est the office.
“Too tame by half—hut the
yotiDg men now a days have very
little spiri',’’ muttered the mer
chant, as he started for hissolioary
home.
Three days later, Mr. Lane had
occasion to change his opinion of
Tom's tameness, for he received
an unexpected letter.
Foalunately he was alpue—
there was no one to witness the
mingled feelings of astonishment
and ebagaiu he experienced while
reading it.
“Saratoga.
“D"ar sir—Yuli were misinform

Tom Allen.
“Sold ! and no mistake,” exclaim
ed Mr. Lane, half angiily. "But
what’3 the use? Tom is a good
fellow—sharp too —sharp as a nea
die good business talent, ha! ha!
and better, yes incomparably bet
ter than the rest of the danglers ;
and Winnie—little puss—she loves
him," and then there came to hi'
heart fur oti memories of the girl’s
dead mother; aud brushing away
a tear, worth more than any dia
mond he possessed, he snatched a
pee and Ims ily penned the follow
ing :
“My grateful son is a scamp !
But I forgive you, Tom, notwith
standing, for if Winnie finds some
ihing iu you to lave, ;ou can’t be
so very wicked. But, ray boy, the

Tom and Winuifred might as
well uavo asked and obtained the
old gentleman’s consent; but then
young people must have their ro
mance.

JEFF DAVIS' IDEA OF THE
DOST CAUSE.
A Chicago gentleman being de
(ained for a on a recent excursion
to New Orleans l>_y a non connec
tion of trains at a station near
Dean voir, the residence of ©/.-Con
federate President Jefl'trson J>avis,
‘‘oncluded he would walk over and
make him a cdl. He was very
pleasantly received in a line max
aion overlooking the Gulf nod
commanding a splendid view- This
mansion, it will be recollected, was
the gift of a lady admiter of Mr.
Davis on account of his services
and sacrifices in the cause of the
South. Our t.'hioago friend did
not exactly interview the ex-Presi
dent, hut evidently asked him a
good many question upon a public
matters, to which replies were
pleasantly and cheerfully gi»on.
One of the most important things
said by Mr. Davit was, perhaps,
in relatiou to his present position
in regard to the “lost cause.” He
said he had been misunderstood it.
this respect. When he remarked
in a public speech that the cause
was rot lost, but would be recov
ered. ho did not by any means ini
*ply that there would be another
war; that was impossible. The
Soiuh was too impoverished tu
resort 10 anything of the kind;
besides it bad no disposition or
intention to do so. He meant
siniuly that the “lost causa” of
the rebelliou would revive again in
tue fuller acknowledgement of
State sovereignly; that the Union
was i compact between the inde
pendent and sovereign States.
This, he thought, would be th®
final outcome of the civil war, it
having recalled the attention of
the people to the original princi
ples upon which the government
is based. Mr. Davis remarked
(hat, he wat poor, and as an evi
dence of it Mrs, Davis, when she
came to invite them to dinner, ex
custd herself for not appearing
earlier by saying that she had to
do her own work. Our Chicagoan
evidently felt somewhat re ieved
in his mind by the interview with
the ex-I'resipent, who concluded
the courtesies of the day by driv
ing him over to the sta'ion.
