The Lords Prayer.

A friend tells us an anecdote of
Booth, the great tragedian, which We
do not recollect to have seen In print.
It occurred in the palmy days of his
fame, before the sparkle of his great
black eye had been dimmed by that
bane of genius, strong drink. Mr..
Booth and several friends had been in
vited to dine with an old gentlemen in
Baltimore, of distinguished kindness,
urbanity and piety. The host, though
disappearing of the theatres and thea
tre-g going, had heard so much of
Booths remarkable powers, that curl
osity to see the man had in this IN
hstance overcome all his scruples and
prejudice. After the entertainment was
over, lamps lighted, and the company
reseated in the drawing-room, some one
requested Booth, as particular favor,
and one which all present would doubt
less appreciate, to read aloud the
Lords Prayer.
Booth expressed his ready willing
ness to afford this qualification, and all
eyes were turned expectantly upon him.
Booth rose slowly and reverently from
his chair. 1t was wonderful to watch
the play of emotions that convulsed
his countenance. He became deathly
pale, and his eyes, turned tremblingly
upward, were wet with tears. AS yet
he had not spoken. The silence could
be felt. 1t became absolutely painful
until at last the spell was broken as if
). by an electric shock, as his rich toned
voice, from white lips, syllabled forth,
"Our Father, who art in Heaven" &C.,
with a pathos and fervid solemnity that
thrilled all hearts. He finished. The
silence continued. Not voice was
heard or muscle moved in his wrapt au-
dience, until from remote corner Of
the room subdued sob was heard, and
the old gentleman (their host) stepped
forward with streaming eyes and tot
, tering frame, and seized Booth by the
hand.
; "Sir,' said he, IN broken accents,
|, 'syou have afforded me pleasure for
e which my whole future life will feel
! grateful. / am an old man, and every

WIT CONTEST BETWEEN FATHER AND
ynN ID d Ch.-.l IL

WIT CONTEST BETWEEN FATHER AND
SoN.-R. B. Sheridan had a great
distaste to anything like metaphysical
discussions, whereas Tom had liking
for them. Tom one day tried to dis
cusss with his father the doctrine of
Necessity Pray, my good father"
said he, " did you ever do anything In
a state of perfect indifference without
motive, / mean, of some kind or other?"
Sheridan, who saw what was coming,
and by no means relished such subjects,
even from Tom, or any one else- said
" Yes, certainly" Indeed" said
Tom. :" Yes, indeed" "What total
indifference-total, entire, thorough In
diference?'' aYes, total, entire, thor
ough indifference. ;" Wei, then, my
dear father, tell me what is it you can
do with (mind) total, entire, thorough
Indifference p "Why, listen to you,
Tom," said Sheridan. The rebuff, as
Tom told me, so disconnected him, that
he had never forgotten it, nor had ever
again troubled his father with any met
dpHysiCS.
Another amusing incident is the fol-
lowing, in which Prof. Smyth, the tutor
of Tom, is concerned:
An incident occurred just as parted
with Mr.. S., not a little descriptive of
him. "I wrote you letter lately" |
said, "it was an angry one; you will be
so good as to think no more oft" ooh,
certainly not, my dear Smyth," he said;
"I shall never think of what you have
said in it, be assured" and putting his
hand in his pocket. "Here it is, he
cried, offering it to me. I was glad
enough to get hold of it; and, looking
at it as was going to throw it in the
fire, 10, and behold, saw that it had
never been opened.

A Day Of Mirth.

May l not say appropriately, that the
29th of March was truly day of mirth,
beauty and splendor, with the Sons of Tenn

meeting it was resolved that access must be

ments. But the race is long-the labors
are many, while laborers Cat least in our
midst, are comparatively few, and still the
determination is to give our adversarles
grand rally at once. Apetitlon was drawn
and signed by several members of the Or
