HEAVEN.

BY MRS. E B. CHOATE.

O could ] burst these prison bars And aoar away beyond the stars. On angels' wings joyful to rise To holy mansions in the skies.

To this old earth I bid adien And spred beyond the ethereal blue Unto the city wondrous fair, Where worldly joy caunot compare.

Give me the faith divine to ime Into God's heavenly paradise, To see the beanties never told, The gates of pearl, the streets of gold. To gaze with wonder and surprise On glory rapt that feasts my eyes, The jasper walls divinely bright, The pure white throne before my sight.

The gates ajar I seem to set; The angels surely beckon me. .I hear them call in accents sweet :

""""ome, May your crown at Jestin' feet "

Such heaven is joy enough for nie. Forever with my Christ to he, And fondly waiting st the duer I mieet the loved ones gour belote 1 thought my cup was full before, Bot wow I find it ronuing d'er, While God and angels welcome me To bliss of all eternity

Fire Insurance.

Losses by lire carry with them a lesson everyone should heed. That is, the im- portance and doty ot carrylug su ade- quate amount of fire instance Itis a plain, simple business proposition. For n very small som each year a petaun cBo get $1.000 insurance against loss on house or contents by fire. Not to have this insurance may mean suffering aud privation for years, or dependence on the sympathy or charity of friends. To be sure, none of us expect to be hurued out; hut anyone of us is linhle to that misfortune at any hour. The part of prudence and common sense is to main- tain, at all risks, an adequate fire insur- ance on the property we own that is lia- ble to such loss. If you are not properly in: ured, be so at once, and you and those dependent on you will he vastly better off in care such loss comes upon you,- Exchange
