Sunday morning again. How many
pleasant breakfast tables it looks down up
on. No need 70 hurry away to office, or
store, or counting room. Fathers come
leisurely down in dressing gown and
slippers, and sip their coffee without dan

around and see how tall the children are
growing, and that nothing in this world is
so beautiful as a rosy baby fresh from

it, and that, perhaps, after all, is the
reason it comes so seldom. 1t is pleasant,

A Strange PRAYER.

record OF men combining in themselves
the utmost fanaticism with the total ab.

" Lord, thou kuOwest that I have NV
estates IN The City Of London, and like.
wise that have lately purchased an es-
tate IN fee simple in the county of Essex.

ties Of MIddlesex and Essex from FIRE
and earthquakes; and as have a mort.

ty, and for the rest of the counties Thou
mayest DO as Thou pleasest with them.

Each thought Of his Tife aud how richly she drest,
And the growing circumference of her new gown;
For wives must dress, and husbands must pay'
And there's plenty to get and little to stay
While the miIlners bill is running.
Three wives sat up in Jane CIarke's for hours,
And they told her to put every article down;
they ordered the silks. and they ordered the flowers
And the bill it kept rolling up, gown upon gown;
For wives viii dress and husbands will pay,

Three Fl hers went sailing out into the West
Out into the Wet, as the sun went down;
Each thought Of the woman that IOv'd him the best
And the children stood watching them oat Of the
town;
For men must work and women must weep,
And there's little to earn and many to keep,
Though the harbOr bar be moaning.
Three women sat mp in the lighthouse tower;
And they srimmd their lamps as the sun went
down.
They lOOk'd at the squall, and they lOOk'd at the
shOw'r,
And the night-raek come rolling up ragged and
brown;
But men must work and women must weep
Tho storms be sudden and waters deep,
And the harbOr bar be moaning.
Three eSrpses lay out on the shiniag sands,
In the morning gleam as the tide went down;
And the women were watching and wringinS their
hands
For those who will never come back to the town
For men must work and women must weep,
And the sooner its DER the sooner TO sleep,
And goodbye to the bar and its moaning.
