My Dream: How the Laundry Work ers Vent to Heaven. I dreamed that I wns sitting, nil quiet und alotw, I 'Twns In the onily (veiling, and the I moon-hcnuiB gently shouo Down through the trees; when all nt once I heard a laughter peal, And looking through my window saw. a mammoth automobile. "Come quick," I heard Miss Thatcher say, 'Wo's through our labors hero, We're going to tako up laundering In another sphere; We're going up to heaven, there's work up there you know, The Angels have ninny pal ties uml they want robes white ns snow." I rushed out to the auto, by Lueilii took a place. And with two or three exceptions,- 1 saw smiles on each girl's ace; , WithMr. Squires nt the tho wheel , we whizzed along the street? , And suddenly turning a corner, whon tnillK 0 wo Miuuiu iiieuu Why, Mr. Lewis and Steadman, wl.li their shovels to handle coal, .ml oap and bluing, too, they lud, 'twas In a big whito bowl. AiuUphrn they Joined the coiupan, wolnive down by tho hill, 'And there with his type-writer stood, norie less than .lesslo GUI; Of course we must have him nlom. to keep the finance straight, For wo couldn't trust St. Peter, if ho does guard heaven's gate. The next to Join the company, was Mr. Becker and Kph, They hnd a banner which read. "French Dry,' 'In old relief. Will Saurey was there with his baskets, bas-kets, Claln Curtis with paper roll; While Albert and Maggie, well bless me! senrco could they their pens control; con-trol; So delighted aio they with mnrking, thoy practiced along the way, II II, S. and Eagle hotel, I'm sure 1 heard them say. i Miss Harris and Miss Hammond hail lions to finish collars, And they, ot course, looked happy, for work, you know, means dollars; And Edna had n pall of Btarch, and sho was wondering If, In that new field of labor, they'd want clothes very stiff. But for Llndlo, Jennto and Ellen, some grief o'er them did danglo, i innrnoii 'twas because thero was no room In the auto, for tho manglo; But Mr. Squires told them, perhaps they'd find one there, And this was somewhat comforting, and cased their sad despair. As for tho rest who finish shirts, and do band ironing mostly, All had their Irons with them, and watched thera very closely. Then Mr. Squires raised tho speed, and wo gradually ascended, And' then roe-thought this auto for en nlr-shlp was Intended; Higher and higher Btlll -wo went, and oncb while In tho air, Out"op a flft ot clouds wo saw, somo angels sitting there. i Hour after hour wo sailed In space, lost sight of moon and stars, Passed by those much famed planets, e'en Jupiter and Mars. At length our rldo grow tiresome, and some of us wero yawning, When wo arrived at heaVen's gate, Just as the morn wns dawning. Of course our coming wns explained, and wo hoped to pass right in; Hut when St. Peter gazed out on us, ho gave a hideous grin, Then snld, "White robes tho angels wear, but be the fiocrot known, Tho fabric Is Immortal, that's soiled not, nor out-worn. Xo need of soap or bluing, no use for starch up here, No work for Irons or mangles, In this , exalted sphere." A wave of dlsnppolntmont ther passed pas-sed from heart to heart, i For wo felt that up In heaven, wo j hnd no lot or part; And Just ns I wns waking from till mmuentous dream, I thought I wus falling earth ward, and gave u llttlo scream. Hut nh! the fact remains, sometlmoto henven we'll wend our way, Whnt-o'cr tho mode of travel be I m j not prepared to say; But this I know tho pnis-poit Is; ! ' life work clean from sin, It means admission through (he gnu's, to highest courts within; And when up to that holy sphere l " angels wo aro borne, ' May wo put on thnso robes that .ire soiled not; no, nor out-worn. , |
