There was much sound truth in the speech of a country
lad to an idler, who boasted his descent from an ancient
family. "So much the worse for you," said the peasant ;
" as we ploughmen say, the older the seed the worse the
crop."

ANECDOTE OF NAPOLEON.—A stranger having entered
the apartment where the Emperor Napoleon was shaving
himself, when in a little town in Italy, he said, " I want to
see your great Emperor—what are you to him?" The Em-
peror replied, " I shave him."

THE PRAYER. BOOK.—The prayer book is your own book
—your own inheritance, as sons of the church. In a series
of services of pure and solemn beauty, it accompanies you
from the cradle to the grave. It meets you at the baptismal
font; it furnishes you with a catechism for your younger
years; it goes with you when you seek the bishop to take
upon yourselves your baptismal vow. When you enter into
the estate of holy matrimony, then again the prayer book
meets you, and sends you out into the world with blessing
and with prayer ; you see it still with the same unwearied
ease and assidious love receiving your children at the font
as it received your selves before ; and going from the font to
the altar to join the thankful mother in her praises to
Almighty God for her deliverance from the great pain and
peril of childbirth. Then when illness comes upon you. and
lays you low upon the bed of suffering, the prayer book
e;
brings
the priest to your bedside—bids him soothe Your acl
fill you with the hope of the gospel, and pour
uponca y
n neither
his spiritual blessing, a peace which this world u,lt)ive nor take away. Nay, it leaves you t
even when your
eyes are closed in death: it waits upon
aft commits
ectionately
lon by the side of
the opened tomb, and gravely andwere) reminding the dull
your spirit to Almighty God (as it
earth that it must give you up again at the resurrection of
the dead.—Rev. F.W. Faber.
