HEAVEN ON TRIAL.
CHAPTER It. In Beano,
"Thought you never wus r-coiuin'
Abe, what'a bin the matter."
"Well, 1 hud a sorter hankeriu' after
the uhi place, Nancy, and somehow
couldn't shuffle off the mortal train
any sootier." -
T ve bin worrylu about you a good
deal, Abe. I was afraid ynu wuau'l
goin' to git in."
"Thought people didn't 'worry up
here, Saury."
"Well, they don't ir they've-"
"tint all they want, I reckon. Why
that's Jest the way ii used to be down
in old California."
"But we mustn't grumble lip here,
Abe. Cuuie on, let's look around a
little." . . r ; .
And of! they strolled, hand iu hand,
down the sunny paths of Paradise,
old Abraham Fife and his good wife,
Saury. They had reached theeten al
dream-laud of the hunwu race, and
found themselves treading the holies),
ground iu the universe. It was the
heaven of man in all the ages where
the sum of all the good he has known
on earth baa betu extracted from all
theevil by' some mysterious alchemy
of bis jod. And this was tbe laud
that these two old pioneers of earth
had eutered to begin their stroll to-
geiuer aown me joyous mgnwaja oi
eternity. After they had eujoyed the
sweet associations of the redeemed of
tiad for a thousand years, and bad
oeen eoustamiy niinisiereo. niuo oy
the sweet-voiced angels of heaven, Abe
called Nancy apart one day to one of
the quiet nooks of that happy land for
a good, old time, earthly chat.
"I tell you, Nancy, this thing o'
comlu' to heaven ain't what it's
cruvked up to be."
"Don't go ou that way, Abe. Jist
be putieut au' the good time'll come
by aud by."
"That's what the blamed fools used
to sii.v down ou earth, an' it's all rn
infernal humbug."
"Why, ain't you bavin' a good time,
Abe? You dou't hev none but tbe
very goodest of meu and things about
you, mi evil nor tiyiu' things at all."
"That's Jist what I'm tired'of, Nancy,
I've been potteriu' round here for a
thousand years, au' I ain't run up
au'ni nnthiu' yet, an' I'll be blamed ef
it ain't gittin' kiud ef monotonous.
My doctrine is 'at you kiu hev things
too much your ow.i way."
"They say this is the happiest place
of anywhere, Abe, an' I reckon It must
be."
Well; I reckon it's not Dou't yon
recollect, Nancy, bow happy we
wheu I found you cbirpiu' around on
tiie old farm down in old Indian',
when we wu young. And how we
wus more happier still when we come
out to Califoruy an' dug gold, an-1
tnised wheat an' picked fruit, while'
the children was growln' up. Course
we had sunicruiuy days, but ab, theui
wus but I call happy times, Nancy."
"No use laikin' 'hout that now, Abe.
It's past forever an' we've got to enjoy
this place." .
"Weil, I reckon we kep never hey
thru good times agin for ourselves,
Naney, but I wish I could git back
a uiinit au' whisjier in the ears o' them
blamed fools ou earth, an' tell 'em
how glad they orter be, 'cause they're
a liviu'. They're all the time a prayiu'
to git op here or some other good place
an' the fact is, Nancy, they're jest as
huppy as tbey cuu be, an' I wish they
i;iiowd rt. 'too."
"The preachers 'II git 'em around all
right after awhile, 1 reckon, if tbey
haven't already."
"No, tbey haven't, yet. I wus told
the other day they wiwstlll a prey in'
to get tin ir flocks up here, au if they
couldn't do that they wanted to turn
toe old earth into a paradise, an' let
people wade around iu good up to
their necks down there. tSo yog see,
Nancy, there ain't no more sense In
tiieir empty skulls 'au tbey used to
he." , t
"Then I suppose you'd like to whis
per a word in the ears J tbe preachers,
too."
"No, you can't tell 'em uotbin',
Xauey. They think they're inspired.
an' when a man gits that May, might
as well let him go." ,
"Ah, here comes our did friend, Jen
ncss, this liiiuit. You recollect him
don't you, Abe? He's tbe one that
wanted to build oueo them churches
down 't Jold Hill once."
"Yes, I recollect that chap."
"Now dou't raise a racket with him,
Abe, up here. It'll be the Brat ou
record, au' it won't do."
"(jood iSoruine,' L nele Abe. I m

me."
