Yes, with pleasure; above all, when repeat

And what is that prayer, tell it me besoech

The child knelt down, joined bands, and she'd
ding some tears, he said with trembling voice,

to love thee, and to love my brethren as Jesus
Christ loved us. Amen

was thus that she called me Charles, Charles
Il am thy mother, tell thee;' and sobs stopped
the voice Of the mother and the child; they both
Wept, but they were tears of 10y. The mother
knelt by the side of the child and exclaimed in the
fullness Of her heart, My God, my Cod forgive
me for having offended thee by my wicked unbe-
lief; pardon mel for having doubted thy proms-
eS; forgive my impatlence have prayed for his
conversion, but was unwilling to wait; and yet
thou has heard me and answered my prayer

Here the master sweep entered the saloon and
was much surprised to find his apprentice and this
great lady both upon their knees. She asked him
how he had become the possessor Of the child. -
He answered that man calling himself his father
placed him in his hands for sum of money; that
this man, for some time past had been i'll at the
hospital, and perhaps was now dead.
Lady BeIviIlc now hastened 10 the hospital, and
found dying man, who confessed to her that a
bout three years since he had stolen a child who
was jumping over garden wall; that he commit
ted this crime in the hope of gaining some money
by letting him out as ii chimney sweep to one of
this vocation. Lady B. too happy at this moment
to reproach him, and thinking that God had per-
mitted this event in order that Charles might be
placed in circumstances more Favorable for the
good of his soul, gfreely pardoned the unhappy
man, and saw him die in hope that God had par
doned him also.

Pooh JAcK.-An old sailor was last week SEN
fenced to one months Imprisonment for an assault
and battery, committed while he was intoxicated
He said that during the spree he had spent eight
hundred dSlIars, with'whch he had just been paid
off from national ship. Poor Jack He scarce
receives iisfnoney before he fall into the hands
of contemplate land sharks, who pick his pockets
and fit him out for another three years service
1t is no wonder chat in his desperation he commits
assaults. A sense of wrong does not always wait
to weigh where to strike; and we can hardly won
der that some old sailors consider andsmen as
their natural enemies.
