Oh, little footprints in the snow
Down the garden path they 80,
Children all.
Jessie the eldest. slim and tall,
VaIorous Dick,
Armed with his stick,
And soft-eycd Mary,
Quiet, demure,
Pale and pure;
And our youngest fairy,
Baby Alice, our birdie small
She can just walk
And lsping talk
She points with her tiny shell pink finger
To the elfin rime
Or the base branched lime
Where the frosts of the early morning 1inger
Grave surprise
In the baby eyes
Az she looks on the winter world, a white
New wonder to our wee things sight,
So, laughing merrily and childish chat
Into the tinglng, shiny, frosty air,
Fair as dear,
Dear as fair,
Trip they-a bright faced band,
Hand in hand
And down the garden path they go,
Leaving little footprints in the snow

BEAUTIFUL PRAYER--The following prayer
was offered up in the Senate Of the Unitcd
States by Rev. Mr. TuStn, the Chaplain, on
Thursday morning the day succeeding the Ca
tastrophe on board the Princeton
Great God how terrible are thy Judgments
and thy ways past finding out We desire to
gather closely around thy feet this morning,
that we may learn the lessons of wisdom that
are to be derived from the awful calamity
which has fallen with so heavy a violence upon
the heart of this nation. We beSeech thee,
oh, God enable US, by thy grace, to receive
the solemn admouitons that we may learn
from the reading of this affective providence,
saying to each of us, in words too solemn and
Impressive to be mistaken, Be ye also ready,
for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son Of
Man conleth"
And 0 Thou who dost mcrcifally temper
the keen north wind 20 the sides of the lamb
newly shorn of its fleece we humbly beseech
Thee to sustain those who by this terrible ca
iamity have been doomed to the sorrows of
widowhood and orphanage. We humbly and
deyoutly pray, that the dark cloud which has
fallen thus Unexpectedly upon their prospects,
may be fringed with celestial light and that
mercy may distil from its bosom to soften the
sorrows and assuage the desolatioa death has
made. And when they and us, are done with
the vicissitudes Of this present state, grant
that we may all be received to that glorious
world, where the tolls and sorrows of earth
shall give place to the repose aud felicity of
Heaven.
