Change of Water Baten.
At a meeting of the water commission
yesterday afternoon, it was decided to
change the water rates, the change to go
into" effect to-day. The object is not so
mnch to change the rates as it is to
equalize them and this the board pro
poses to do. An examination has dis
closed that some are charged too much
some too little.and the only change will be
, -equalising the charges so that all will pay
s nearly alike proportionally as possible
This is a wise action, and while it will
probably not increase the revenues from
the water works to any great extent, it
will make the burden bear evenly on all
water consumers.

Or What I

Lose I Keep.
and What I
BY MBS. P. . BARRETT.
In the winter of 1885, 1 was ill with
what would now be called la grippe.
The serious symptoms, lasting but a few
days, were followodby distressing physi
cal weakness, so that with mind alert
and nerves quivering with impatience, I
was obliged to lie by, at home, away
from the business which .1 knew was
suffering for want of my presence.
Now it happened through all this
miserable time, when I was unable to
sit up, except at intervals, without
faintness, that it did .seem as, though
the whole church and neighborhood
had turned itself into a procession of
beggars. ,
Early in the season, for the looks of
the thing, I had put my name to a sub
scription paper'or two, But my wife's
name appeared in so many, lists that,
though the sums were small, I could but
say some pretty savage things. .
One day it had been unusually exas
perating ; and I was relieving my mind
when, in the midst of this tirade, my
eldest son, who, with "his sister, was
arranging the pillows to bolster me into I
a more upright position, broke in with
"Its a shame to talk' that way to
mamma when every penny she gives
comes either off her buck or out of her
stomach !"
. : Amazed, I stopped short, and looked
to my wife for denial ; but in tears, she
left the room. "There:" said he, now
I've hurt her feelings."- "Apologize or
leave the house," I shouted, and added
with as much dignity as my prostrate
attitude permitted, "You've told a pre
posterous falsehood !"
"Its tbe truth," he flashed back, "she
has saved her morning eggs at the table
all winter, for her cent a day subscrip
tion to missions, and, father," nearing
the door as he spoke, "I should think
you were blind not to see how shabby
she is," and he was gone.
I'd have struck him for saying it, if I
could. My money, mine, given away
instead of being properly used ! I fairly
stamped my feet against the foot-board
in my rage, and commanded my tremb-
ing daughter to call her mother.
After she went out I seemed to be
tilling; and then floating away, and
en a long dreamless sleep came,
from
which I was awakened by music.
Forgetful of what had passed I turned
to ask my wife from whence the sweet
sounds came, and was surprised to find,
at my side, dressed in glistening white,
a brother who had died years ago,
'Harry!' I cried, and "Dear John,"
he whispered, putting his hand in mine,
my weak fingers closing rouud it. "If
am in Heaven," I said, "what makes
me so weak f Just then the music, in
which my sleeping senses had been
steeped came nearer, and a train of shin
ing angels swept by, led by a woman, a
neighbor who died but yesterday, for
remembered they had tried to keep the
news from me.
"Shall I be strong like her to
morrow?" I hopefully asked. 'Oh, no,"
said my guardian, "that beautiful angel
lived according to Paul's instructions to
keep the body under ; the spirit growing
strong; and ready even now to lead
heavenly hosts to earth on deeds of
heavenly love. She has great posses
sions."
"What do you mean by- possessions T"
said I coldly, remembering that only
yesterday I was a solid member of the
same church, with her, the poorest
woman in it.
. "She was rich toward God, and laid
up treasures here," he answered.
"What you keep down there, John, you
lose, for you have to leave it. But
what you give away you find laid up to
begin this world with."
".Now, said I, at once asserting
superior knowledge, ' "you're w--ong
about her. I knew that angel wher she
was nothing but a woman, a laborer's
wife, and eked out their scanty means
by washing. Why I doubt if ever she
had a dollar to give away during
whole life."
her
"Did you never read about the
widow's mite?" said my brother. But
ler us visit her mansion. It is one of
the wonders even here, where the
heavenly mansions be. Such marvels of
turret and tower, of balconies and pavil
ions ; of lattice windows and oriels ; of
niches and portals.".
, Helping me slowly along on the King's
highway, sometimes by the hand as
little children are led ; and sometimes
carrying me as I had done him when he
was a mortal baby, I being his elder
brother, we. at last, reached her steps,
on the lower stair of which he seated me
- Soon, as I became accustomed to the
wonderful whiteness, I saw an inscrip
tion on every slab of the flight. This
was "neighborly kindness" ; that "right
service"; the other "peace making1
and above, as true as I live I read, "Care
of Martha Burns !" I remembered her,
a sick, mangy brat that no' one else
wouia naye about them; this woman
took and cared for her, soothing her
dying hours. No one down there in
Portland but had forgotten it long ago,
but here it stood out in burning gold
and every stone in that stately pile had
on it a record, an endorsement, so to
speak, of some good deed.
Over one wide portal the key stone

there, yes, plain before my face, was a
Jasper capital inscribed "Desires to
give." ' . ' .; ' . -. .
"See here,"-1 demanded, "where are
my desires?" for I knew how many
times I'd had them and indulged mvself
in dreams, of how liberal I would be,
once my own wants were satisfied.
Receiving no answer, I was - venti
lating my opinion '.of such' manifest
injustice when Harry stopped me by
saying : - ''There are desires and desires,
brother, prayers and prayers. Why
should a man desire what he can hold in
his hand if he choose, or pray when 'he
may easily answer his own prayers
"Do you mean to tell me," said I, ''that
it was my duty to give, even when there
were other necessary ways for my
money?" "To whom then, were you in
debt?" he asked. "To no one," I replied
"I took care of that, I was a good finan
cier." "Who gave you that talent, and
who sent such prosperity ?"he asked more
pointedly still. ' "I understand you now
said I "you think a tenth was due to
God." "I think," he said, "all is God's;
but he put it out with you, what interest
did you pay?" "What? why no name
had a larger sum set down for minister's
salarv." "The butcher's bill, do you
count that too?" said my brother with
levitv very unbecoming in an angel ;
but, ' seeing my frown, he continued,
We were talking of giving. Paying
pastor's salarv is merely settling ac
counts and very meanly are they settled
too, at times. Men should think what
life is in the lands without the gospel,
and count in all the light and blessed
ness of christain civilization- when the
paper conies round for pastor's salary, or
church buildings or parsonage or school
houses." "I have given good round sums
for all these things," said I, "but in this
New Jerusalem, which I was taught to
think so blessed, it seems of no account.
This woman, for instance, never gave
even the 'widows mite' for such pur
poses. "Seeing they see not," he smiled
pointing to entablatures and cornices
and brackets that recorded prayers and
endeavorrand even gifts. "Well," said
I incorrigibly, "I don't see where the
money came from, her husband's shallow
pocket I suppose and he will be left to
build his own ' mansion with what he
may." "See here John," said my guide
touching my eyes, and behold on every
stone I saw engraved in blue enamel

'hunger.'blistered feet," 'caloused hands'
'chills' and 'frost-bite,' and side by side
in gold ran the name of the gift each

Quicker than a flash I recalled what
my boy Harry named for this angel at
my side had said the day I died. And
I shrunk together out of sight of myself,
covering . my' eyes and groveling in
the silver sand at the foot of the steps.
"Blind," my son had said. Yes, a
mean, pitiful, blind creature I called
myself.
The Lord gave me one talent, money
getting, and what kind of a soiled
napkin had I rolled it m, wet with the
tears of my wife. Those blue enameled
words fastened themselves to my thought
of her, and I cried aloud. "My shabby
wife, inv hungry wife. Oh that I could
live mv life over."
Harry took me into his bosom sooth
ing me as a mother sooths her babe, and
when my sobbing ceased he said,
"Brother the Master has given me my
wish today, shall I wish you back?'
Down on my knees I beg it of you dear
guardian angel," I cried "try me once
more." '.' - -
A deafening roar in my ears and
flashes of light in my head followed, and
opening my expectant eyes I found wife
and children working over me. Rubbing
my limbs, chafing my hands, and all in
tears.
"Oh," quivered the voice of my wife,
you never, never had so long a faint be
fore."
"No dear," I whispered back : "I died,
but the Master allowed me to return to
show how much I love Him and you."
She laid her finger on my lips forbid,-
ding further words. .
But from that day to this, five years
and more, I have never for a moment
forgotten that what I keep I lose ; but
what I give is laid up where, when I go
again, I shall find a mansion which
the Lord himself has prepared for me
out of the blocks my .daily stewardship
furnished. ' .
