Practical PRAYER.

/, In the vicinity of B---iived .
| poor but industrious man dependinee e
| for support entirely upon ms daily
labor. His wife fell sick and not being
able to hire nurse he was obliged to
confne himself to the sick bed and
family. His means of support being
thus cut off he soon found himself
in need. Having wealthy neighbor
near, he determined to go and ask Tor
two bushelsof wheat promising to pay
as soon as his wife become SO much
b ter that be conld kaye her and
return to his werk. Accordingly he
took took his bag ven. to his neighbor's,
and arrived while the family were at
morning prayers. .s1

with the avails Of his first labor. :
{ The farmer was vary sorry he.
could net accommodate him, but he
had promised to lend a large sum Of
money and had depended UPON his
wifeat to make il out. tsrslsss
With a fearful eye and a sad heart
the poor man turned away. As soon
as be left the house the farmers little

lighted in that scene! {.
? At the sight of the bloody gar
ment of their master, and the shock
ing goblin that followedhard after him,
Biddy and Jim uttered pair Of yells
that were original beyond all imitation,
and dropped, as if shot by hot thunder
bolts, in two heaps upon the floor.
Dolly, who had carried up that un-
lucky bit of dough, understood the
matter better, and, with a sweep Of
her powerful arm, she arrested her
masters flight, and brushed off the
mask which her mistress wore.
More ashamed Of the figure they
had cut before their servants, than
they would care to own, the two sub
sided individuals suddenly withdrew
into the privacy of their chamber,
leaving Dolly whose agony OF mlrth
broke forth the very moment the
futter of night-linen had disappear
through the door, to ''shake OUT her
fellow servants. and to satisfy them,
the best way she could, that the
shapes of terror" which had blasted
their vision, were nothing but mortal
shapes of flesh and blood, rather spar
;ngly covered with dry goods. Hoping |
that Mr.. and Mrs. Phips would enjoy |
a good nights rest, and that their
little adventure in no wise disturbed
their conjugal felicity, I wish my
readers a. respectful afternoon, and re-
lapse into silence. 2 s''3 !

The Raining Tree.

The island Of Eerro is one of the

it upon this accountable soil not

there. is In this island neither river nor
rivliet, nor well nor spring, save, that
Only toward The seaside there are some
wells, but they lie at, saoh a distance
from the city that the inhabitants
can make no use thereof But the

forced to acknowledge that He gives
in this an undeniable demonstration
of His wonderful goodness. Forin the
midst thereis tree which IS the oaly
one OF that kind, inasmuch as it has
no resemblance to any of those known
to US in Europe. The leaves are
long and narrow and continue in con-
slant verdure, wiater and summer,
aud it's branches are covered with a
cioadwhich is dispelled, but resolving
into moisture, causes to fall from its
leaves a very clear water, and thas-in
such abundance that the cisterns which
are placed at the foot of the tree to
receive it are never empty, but cor
tain enough to supply both man and
beast. -..-e-'-
