Excerpt from Gold-Dust: For the Beautifying of Lives and HomesAlmost broken-hearted, - bleeding from excessive punish ment, a poverty-clutched boy lay under a fence near the road-side. The hot summer sun beat down upon the lacer ated back of the youth as he slept, overcome with pain, sor row, despair, and dread of the future. When he crept away to this hiding-place, to weep and suffer - to wonder why he too, could not have friends - to think of a mother in heaven, and to wish he might find with her a home and rest Over There, the future seemed dark, dismal, and treacherous, without one ray of light to guide through the wilderness sep stating the shores of birth and death.The poor boy dreamed. A sweet, peaceful dream. The sun sank slowly behind the hills, the evening breeze came with cooling breath, and there, resting on the growing grass, with head pillowed on one arm, this was his vision.The dark clouds seemed to roll away, leaving a golden reach of atmosphere far extending toward a distant city in the Heavens. From the crowd which seemed to hover over this city there came one with golden hair, radiant face, and look of love, seeming to ¿oat as if by the power of the will toward where slept the bleeding sufferer.Gently to his side she came - sweet kisses on his aching brow impressed - with love-light soothing hand, the tears she wiped from his eyes, and then whispered such words of love and hope that memory holds them ever as sacred keys to Eternal joys.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
