The Lords Prayer.


We Law before our readers the Lords Prayer'
beautifully para-phrased into an acrostc' oy mos
Sturtevant. soldier of the Goth regiment U. ..
1rf,r,rv and prisoner of war in the province of
Upper Canada;
Orr Lord and King who reigns enthroned on high!
Father of light mysterious Deity!
Who art the great AM, the last, the first,
Art righteous, holy, mercilul and just,
In realms of glory, scenes where angles sing
Heapen is the dwelling place of God our King.
HaLo,ced thy name which doth all names transcend,
BE thou adored our great Almighty Friend,
TIM Glory shines beyond creations space
Named in the book of Justice and of Grace
Thu kingdom towers beyond the starry skies;
Kingdoms satanic fall, but thine shall rise.
Came let thine empire, o thou Holy one,
TIM great and everlasting will be done
WIZ God make known his will, his power display!
Be il the work of mortals to obey.
Done is the great, the wondrous work OF love,
On Calvary's cross he died, but reigns above.
Earth bears the record in thy holy word,
As heaven adores thy name, let earth, 0 Lord;
Il shines transcendent in The eternal skies.
Is praised in Heaven, for man the Saviour dies
In songs immortal laud his name.
Hcaren shouts with Joy ,and saints his love proclaim
Gire us. o Lord our food, nor cease to give
Us that food in which our souls may live!
This be our boon to day and days to come,
Dan without end in our eternal home;
Our needy souls supply from day to day,
Daily assist and aid when we pray,
Bread though we ask. yet Lord, thy blessing lend
Aud make US grateful when thy gifts descend.
Forefre our sins, which in destructions place
Us the vile children of rebel race,
Our follies, faults and tresspasses forgive.
Debts which we neer can pay, or thou receive;
As we, O Lord, our neighbors' faults o'er!ook,
We beg thou DIST blot ours from thy memory book
ForeiUe our enemies, extend our grace.
Our souls to save, e'en Adams guilty race,
Debtors to thee in Gratitude and Love,
And in that duty paid by saints above,
Lead us from sin, and in thy mercy raise
Us from the temper and his hellish ways.
Not in our own, but in his name who bled,
Into thine ear, we pour our every need.
Temptations fatal charms help US to shun.
But may we conquer through thy conquerlng Son
Delarer us from all which can annoy
Us in this world, and may our souls destroy,
From all calamites which men betide,
Eva and death, o turr, cur feet aside;
For we are mortal worms and eleave TO clay,
Thine It's to rule and mortals to obey.
Is not thy mercy, Lord, forever free
The whole creation knows no God but thee,
Kingdom and empire in thy presence fall
The King eternal reigns the King Of all
Poucer is with thee-to thee be glory given,
And be thy name adored by earth and Heaven,
Glory to Thee, the everlasting One, sas Is sl-G
Forerer be thy holy name adored ;5s so ,aIa
Amen Hosanna! blessed be the Lord asa

All the mortars had not yet arrived, but as many
as ten were planted and were supposed to have
opened their fire upon the city the Goth Such the
impression OF Capt Gliddon, OF the Oregon.
Ii seems that General Scott is drawing his lines more
closely around the city. As Captain Gliddon says that
Worths command is stationed within seven hundred
yards OF the walls fancy this 10 mistake. Advanced
parties might approach In this manner, but division
would hardly be posted at short target distance.

extremely doubtful whether the reinforcement Of
eight hundred men referred to in the Picayune had
reached the city He says few cattle crep in along the
beach, but he thinks there were few or no soldiers In
the party.
Col. Caleb Cushing LAST night made eloquent
speech on the War. His remarks embraced a running
eulogy upon the gallant fallen In the late battles. In
naming over the noble sacrifices he omitted TO mention
young Henry Clay In which he was corrected by shout
from the audience He hesitated but tscity declined
to pronounce the-l was about TO say hated-nsme.
