The Little Maiden's PRAYER.


She knelt her down so meekly,
Believing none were nigh,
Clasped her little hands so swcctly,
And then with upturned eye
Said, 'Fatherl please to bless me
Through all the long, day,
And keep me all 80 safely
IT'LL come again to pray"
She simply asked forgiveness
For evil she had done.
Then said, "now I'm forgiven,
Through Christ, Gods own dear Son."
She prayed for loved ones near her.
For friends both far and wide,
Said, II want Thee, God, to bless them,
And all the world beside"

HINT FOR MAMMAs.-Bad temper in
children is oftener the result of unhappy
circumstances than Of an unhappy organi-
zation. 1t frequently however, has physi-
cal cause, and peevish child often need
directing moro than correcting. Some
children are more prone to show temper
than others, and sometimes on account of
the qualities which are valuable in them
selves. For instance, child of active tenn
perment, sensitive feeling and eager purpo-
'ses is more likely to,meet with constant Jars
and rubs than more passive child and if
he is of open nature, his inward irritation
is Immediately shown in burst of passion.
If you repress these ebullitions by scolding
and punishment you only increase the evil
by changing passion into sulkiness. : A
cheerful, good tempered tone of your own.
a sympathy with his trouble, whenever the
trouble has arisen from no ill-conduct on
his part, are che best antidotes.. But it
would be better still to prevent beforehand
as much as possible, all sources of annoy
ance: Never fear spelling Children by ma
king them too happy. Hapr ness is the
sphere in which all good affections grow
The wholesome warmth. necessary to make
the heaftszblood circulate healthy and free
y; unhappiness, the chilling pressure which
produces here an inflammation, there an ex.
|scresence, and, worst of all, themnd sgreen
and yellow sickness-ill-temper."

Paris oiossip-A Talisman.

Last week occurred the. marriage Of a
M1leof eighteen, of the prettiest figure in
the world, an. excellent education, much
intelligence, and proud name. She mar
ried the Count de P, diplomatst,
forty-ive years of much wit and largo
wealth, who had the good sense to perceive
that marriage was not always business

The secret police of The young ladies kept
eye on his movements; they saw him enter
no jewelers., no shawl merchants, no dry
goods stores, and that worried them. When
they alluded to wedding presents, the Count
seemed not to understand them. At last
they began to suspect him Of ayarice, and
pittied poor Mile M--for making such
a marriage. =
But on the day Of the signing Of the.con-

A STARTLING SNEEzE IN A THEATRE
On Saturday evening an amusing incident
which created deal Of merriment, occurred
at Woods THEATRE During a scene in the
first play, while the two villains ofthe dra-
ma were detailing the murderous scheme of
Queen Margaret to dispose Of her two chill
dren-a task which had been confdeGato
them-the house was in4breathless silence:
Every eye was turned upon the stage, and
every ear listened with-intense anxiety to
the recital. In the midst ofthe most inter-
esting portion of the narrative, there came
an explosion from the dress circle which op-,
Grated likes galvanic shock, andE startled
every listener as though bombsEeH had
burst in their midst. The cause was in
stantly apparent, and the house burst into
roar Of laughter.
A gentleman, who is somewhat noted for
loud explosions of his character, had en-
deavored to suppressi;a sneezs; but out it
came at last-and such sneeze 1t would
have blown any common nose 10 rfinters |!
The audience laughed, and, the villains Of the
play turned their backsupon the spectators,
and forgot.their story and the chiidren's
wrongs, in comic cgrimace that could not be
suppressed: After minute or two the play
proceeded, but the pathetic part ofthe reci.
tai was lost in thatsssarlling explosion:
Amidst the merriment- excited, the unfer-
tunatesneezer seized his hat and ,hasried
