DEATH IN LIFE.-The following is
from an article by Oliver w. Holmes,
in the last number of the North Amer
ican Review.
"If the reader Of this paper live an
other complete year, his self conscious
principle will have migrated from it's
present tenement to another, the raw
material, even Of which are not as yet
put together. A portion Of that body Of
his which is to be, will ripen in the
corn Of the next harvest. Another por-
ton Of his future person he will pur-
chase, or others will purchase for him,
headed up in the form Of certain barrels
of potatoes. A third fraction is yet to
be gathered in a Southern rice field.
The limbs with which he is then to
walk will be clad with flesh borrowed
from the tenants Of many stalls and pas
lures, now unconscious Of their doom.
The very organ Of speech with which
he is to talk so wisely, plead so eloquent
ly, or preach so 9effectually, must first
serve his humber brethren to bleat to
below, and for all the varied utterances
of bristled or feathered barn yard life.
His bones themselves are, to great ex-
tent, in posse. and not IN esse.
A bag of phosphate Of lime which he
has ordered from Professor Mapss, for
his grounds, contains large part Of
what it is to be his next years skeleton.
And more than all this, and by far the
greater part Of his body is nothing. af.
ter all. but water. the main substance
Of his scattered members is to be look
ed for in the reservoir, in the running
streams, at the bottom Of the well, in
the clouds that float over his head, or
diffused among them all.n

The Tragedian Booth and the Lords Pra yer
We have been told an anecdete of
Booth, the great tragedian, which We do
not remember to have seen in print 1t oc-
Cured in the palmy days of his fame, be-
fore the sparkle of his great mind had
been dimmed by that bane of genius,
strong drink.
Booth and several friends had been in
vited to dine with an old gentleman in
Baltimore, of distinguished kindness, ur-
banity and piety.-Tne host, though
disapproving of theaters and theater 60
ing, had heard so much of Booths re-
markable powers. that curiosity to see
the man had, in this instance, overcome
all his scruples and prejudices. After
the entertainment was over, lamps light
ed, and company re-seated in the draw
ing room, some one requested Booth as
a particular favor, and one which all
present would doubtless appreciate, to
read aloud the Lords prayer. Booth
expressed his willingness to afford them
this qualification, and all eyes were turn
ed expectantly upon him.
Booth rose slowly and reverently from
his chair. 1t was wonderful to watch
the play of emotion that convulsed his
countenance. He became deathly pale,
and his eyes turned trembling upwards,
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 pathos and So
lemnity that thrilled all hearts.
He finished. The silence continued.
Not voice was heard or a muscle moved
in his wrapt audience, until, from a re-
mote corner of the room a subdued sob
was heard, and the old gentleman, their
host, stepped forward, with streaming
eyes and tottering frame, and seized
Booth by the hand.
"Sir," said be in broken accents, "you
have afforded me pleasure for which
my whole future life will feel gratified.
l am an old man. and every day from
my boyhood to the present time, /
thought | repeated the Lords prayer,
but / have never before heard it
never"
"You are right" replied Booth. ITO
read that prayer IS it should be read,
has caused me the severest study and Ia
Dor for thirty years, and I am far from
being yet satisfied with my rendering of
that wonderful production. Hardly one
person in ten thousand comprehends
how much beauty, tenderness and gran
deur can be compassed into space so
small, and in words so simple. The
prayer Of itself sufficiently illustrates
the truth of the Bible, and stamps upon
it tho seal of divinity"
So great was the effect produced (says
my informant, who was presently that
conversation was sustained but q short
time longer in subdued monosyllables,
and almost entirely ceased; and soon af-
ter, at an early hour, the company broke |
up and retired to their several homes
with sad faces and full hearts, Episco-
pal Recorder.
