commando is called "Presence of
mind" when exhibited on occasions
of danger and great risk of life. This
making children afraid of the dark,
weakens the nervous system at its first
development, and the least sign of dan
ger throws them into paroxym of fear,
and depr'ves them Of reason. This is
one reason, and we believe the greatest,
why GOODNESS and selfpossession in
times of emergency are so rare. Per-
haps we over-estimate the cause, but
we appeal to the consciences of our
readers for the witness of the truth of

ON PRAYER.

Prayer is the souls sincere desire
Uttered or unexpressed;
The motion of hidden fire,
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden Of sigh,
The falling of a tear;
The upward glancing of an eve,
When none but God is near.
Prayer ia the simplest form of speech,
That infant lips can try;
Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
Prayer is the Christians vital breath,
The Christians native air;
His watchword at the gates Of death
He enters Heaven with Prayer.
Prayer is the contrite sinners voice,
Returning from his ways;
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And cry-Behold he prays.
In prayer, on earth, the Saints are one,
In word, in deed. in mind;
When with the Father and the Son,
Sweet fellowship they find.
Nor prayer is made on earth alone,
The Holy Spirit pleads;
And Jesus on the Eternal Throne,
For sinners interceds.
o thou by whom we come to God,
The life, the truth, the way;
The path of prayer myself hast trod
Lord, teach me how to pray.-.Nonigo17,eru

THE LADIES' WoRsT ENEMIES.
Your bitterest enemy you have taken
to your heart, and why? Because he
has gratified your selflove. Know,
that fa,terers are the worst of traitors j;
for they strengthen your imperfections,
encourage your extravagances, correct
you in nothings; but so shadow and
paint your follies and vices, that you
will never by their consent, discover
good from evil, or vice from virtue.-
Danish, then, the flatterer, and welcome
the truth teller. Though he speaks
sharply, he loves you the best.
