THE RICH MANS PRAYER.
"Give US this day our daily bread"

. N...f BY J. w.
Twas cold twas cold for the snow fell fast.
And swift and bleak was the howling blast;
Old Winter laughed, for to him twas mirth,
In chains of ice to bind up the earth
Loud rang the bells-twas the Sabbath day
They were calling grateful hearts to pray;
To thank their God for mercies given;
On bended knee at the throne of Heaven!
With uncovered head and bleeding feet
Whose only home was the snow clad street.
With an aching heart and tear rdimmd eye
A poor friendless child sought charity.
A rich man stood at his mansion door
Who ne'er knew want, for he necr was poor;
A carriage was waiting at his porch,
To carry that noble man to church.
He came down the steps with naughty tread,
When trembling voice said "iive me bread {?
No thought had he for that child tOrlorn-
He knew not pity-his look was scorll-
"How dare you ask for relief p he said:
"You are strong, 60, earn your daily bread :"
The Lord had blessed him with wealth and fame
A gildcd home and noble name
All earthly pleasures were round him shed,
"A stone would marx Wnere ne lies Wneu ueau-
Emblazond on which, in words of gold, .'.
The werld his Uirtues would there behold!
He saw the tear bedew the cheek
Of that orphan child, with look so meek;
He heard not the sigh, nor piteous NOAH
His ear was deaf, and his heart was stone.
He drove away to the house of pray'r-
Twas merely for form that he went there,
He knelt him down, and the words he said
Were-"Gire US this day our daily bread?"

The MOLE AND ITS GRANDMOTHER.-
There was once young mole who resolv-
ed to better his condition. So he went
and bought eye-salve of the snake; and he
took lessons of the rabbit in running; and
consulted Dr.. Squirrel as to the expedien-
cyofliving on nuts, with the hope of grow
ing tail, and hid up his great, ugly, splay
hands in snail-shells, which he wished to
pass for hoofs. But, with all pains taken,
nothing answered as it ought: he couldn't
see-he did little better than waddle-
his tail wouldn't grow, even if the nuts
were not rank poison to his stomach and
his hands pinched like Chinese feet, only
ached intolerably, but would not do the
walking. He had merely made himself
miserable and ridiculous.
In this dilemma, his grandmother found
him, and Child" quoth she, "why can,
you be satisfied with your lot in life? Y ou
are fitted for it, and it is fitted for YOU
What should you think of the wisdom Of
your friend, DR.. Squirrel, if he became
ambitious of your tunnelling powers, ever
as you are of his tail? Come home witt
me, and be comfortable without those mas
ty hard gloves. Your hands are good fo
grubbing. If you try to initiate othe
folks virtues and neglect your own nat
ural excellencies, you will only succeed i
being the most wretched mole aboy

full mole beneath it," ..

"Addison then goes on to tell how the
counsel for the petticoat were called in,
and answered the popular objections here
to with great strength and solidity of
arguments" and an extensive amount of
tiorid harangues," in the perpetration of
which we detect no signs of falling off
in the present race of lawyers. One great
argument was, that the business of wood
en- manufactures derived vast benefits
from the calumniated fashion. The coun-
sci also read petition of the rope makers,
in which they say "that the demand for
cords and the price of them were much
risen since this fashion came up" A
third solid reason was founded on an ap-
peal from the Greenland traders, which
went on to say that the use of hoops oc-
casioned an enormous increase in the con-
sumption of whalebone, and that large
additional revenues accrued to that branch
of the British trade. Addison finally de-
cides the case by pronouncing the petit
coat forfeiture, but disclaims all hostility

The Angel In Disguise; or, how to Choose
a Husband
A ROMANTIC AND YET TRUE STORY.

A beautiful young heiress had become
so disguised with flattering set Of soft.
pated, proma haired, moustache Tipped
strongly perfumed, suitors for her hand
that she shut herself from the fashionable
world, turned all of her property into
money, deposited it in banks, donned a
cheap wardrobe, put on mask, and went,
pedestrian-like, through the cityi which
she had hitherto moved with So much dis.
play and magnifcence. She asked aims
Of those who of late had knelt at her fee,
and sued for her hand. They knew hcr
not, and casting look of scorn upon hel
yelled face and coarse wardrobe, bade her
begone. She entered the country-here
she met with derision and scorn. A few
kind hearted people, it is true, bestowed
aid, but these We're of the poorer class,
who had hard work to procure their own
daily bread but they could not turn a
fellow creature hungry from their door
and therefore gave a small pitiance from
their scanty store.
One Summer day, a large party met on
beach. They were mostly from the
city. The disguised heiress from some
cause or other had wandered there
She asked aims of some termed "uppe,
tens Thay spoke tauntingly but gave
nothing. ~
What they said had been heard by quite
"a number Of their company. Most OF
them laughed or looked as if they thought
it "served her right" The beggar wo-
man turned about and was walking sadly
away, when good looking gentleman
stepped forward, and catching hold of hel
arm, thus spoke u.l Sd.
"Stay, my good woman-tell me what
you want
She replied in low trembling tone, 81
want sixpence-only sixpence."
"You shall have ten times that sum-
Here" he added, drawing from his pock.
ct an eagle and placing it in the gloyed
hand of the woman, ''take this, and il
it is not enough, l will give you ano,h.
er"
The hciress returned the eagle, ex.
claiming, Il wanta sixpence-only a six
pence"
Seeing that she could not be made to
take the coin, the gentleman drew forth g
sixpence, and gave it to the strange being
beside him, who, after thanking the gen,
erous donor, walked slowly away. After
being laughed at for so doing by his com
rades, he set out in pursuit Of the beggal
woman, saying, perhaps she is an heiress
Or an angel in disguise-I mean to as
certain"
Not that he thought this. He wished
to show his indifference to what his com
rades said, besides satisfying himself
about the strange female whom he had
aided. He soon overlook her, and ad
dressed her thus Pardon me, madam
for pursuing you. l would know more
about you"
AS the speaker ceased, the mask drop,
ped from the face of the female, and the
beautiful heiress was portrayed before the
astonIshed gentleman. ~
| That they were afterward married, the
reader has already imagined, for The
heiress used this means of procuring .
worthy husband, and the generous gen
tleman had long been locking for "an ange
in disguise"
The happy husband is often heard tt
say that he got an "heiress for six
pence" .a ,-rg@
