The Lords Prayer-.-Anecdote of Booth,
the Great Tragcdian.


Booth and several friends had been in
vited to dine at an old gsntleman's in Bal
timore, of distinguished kindness. urbani-
ty and piety. The host, though disappro
wing of theatres and theatre going, had
heard SO much OF Booths remarkable pow
ers. that his curiosity TO see the man had
in this instance overcome all his scruples
and prejudices. After the entertainment
was over, lamps lighted, and the company
seated in the drawing room, some one re-
quested Booth, AS particular favor, and
of which all present would appreciate, to
repeat the Lords Prayer. Booth express
ed his willingness to afford them this graf
ification, and oil eyes were turned expec'
tant upon him. Booth rose slowly and
reverently from his chair. 1t was now
wonderful to watch the play Of emotions
that convulsed his eountenance. He be.
came deadly pale. and his eyes turned
trembling upwards with tears. As yet he
had not spoken. The silence could be felt
It became absolutely painful, until the
spell was broken rs if by an electric shock
as his rich toned voice, from his white lips
sillabled forth, "Our Father, who art in
Heaven" etc, with pathos and perfec
solemnity that thrilled all hearts.
He finished. The silence continued
Not voice was heard or muscle moyet
in the wraps audience, until from a remo,
corner of the room, subdued sob wa
heard, and the old gentleman (thsir host
stepped forward with streaming eyes an.
tos.ering frame. and seized Booth by tn
hand.
"Sir." said be, in broken accents, "To'
