A LIrrtE BOYS PRAYER A little boy,
after saying nightly the prayers which had
been taught him, was quite tenacious of what
he called praying his own way. lie had a
large number of brothers and sisters whose
needs and poculiarties he sometimes made the
subject Of his petitions. On one occasion, at
commencing this exercise, he was overcome
with sleep Wrestling with his stupor, he
said
"Oh Lord, bless Elizabeth, and make her
better than she is.
His head fell back ON his pillow, but soon
rousing, he murmured, drowsily, "Bless Hen
ry, too Ii was in vain his tongue refused
It's otiicc-so he added instinctiyely:
"Oh Lord, | can't; there are too many of
en-, and he sank into the deep slumber of
childhood.
At another time, while conducting this ex-
ercse in somewhat more wakeful manner,
he said
Lord please to bless father, and give him
new heart. BE SO kind as TO bless Mary,
my little sister, and give her new heart
Oh Lord bless mother-but you need not
give her hew heart, for she could not have
any better one than she's got; and don't
see how she'd so to work to be any better wo-
man than she is now.

years ago from the north Of China, by NJ. de

field of il, growing at Voricres in France,
in the autumn of 1854 Mr. d. j. Browne,
then on a mission from this office for collect
ing agricultural information and products, was
led to infer that, from the popularity of the
climate in which it was growing, and its re-
somblance in appearance and habit TO Indian
corn. it would flourish in any region WHEREBY
er that plant would thrive. From this source
he obtained some two hundred pounds Of the
seed which was distributed in small packages
by this Office among hcmcmber, of Congress.
with Wow Of experimenting with it in all
parts of the Union, and thereby ascertaning
its adoption to our soil and climate, In nu-
merous instances the results proved highly
satisfactory. as it attained the height of eight
or ten feet as far north as ST. Paul in Mime
sofa, and matured It's seeds at various points
in Massachusetts,, New York. PENNSYLVANIA,
Illinois, and other places further south The
following year, while in France, on "a similar
mission as above, Mr.. Browne obtained sever
al bushels Of the seed of this plant, grown
from that reputed to have been brought from
South Africa by Mr.. Leonard Wray, of Lon
don, and which has since proved 10 be dcnti.
