LITTLE GEORGES PRAYER.-L'tt!e Geor,
gic, an interesting boy of four summers, had
been taught by his mother to pray and she
had often told him that to pray to God wa"
to talk to Him, and tell him just what nc
wanted. At night after he had repeated th?
Lords Prayer he generally made a short
nraycr ofhis own. in Which his childish wants
were made known in his own words.
Though George was generally very sood
boy, and loved his parents most tendery yet
ii sometimes happened that he needed correc
tion !; for like all children, he liked to have
his own way. :.
One day, being unwillipgt to yield to his
mother she was obligedto punish him. Tor
she did not wish her little boy to gro" up a
wicked and unruly son. At uight, when. "
was time Tor him to ropc1t hsrrayer, he coald
no. forget is naughty actions aud, ns he
had been taught, he taked to God n1oHt j;
in the following manner, feeling all the wnilc
very serious, though his language was so child
sh - o Lord bless George, and make bin
good boy and don't let him be naughty
"gain-never, no, never because You know
hen no isnaughty, he sticks to 1t so

A Dream.

oomo time since, Dr. Rodgers, CT Albany,
gave an account of dream which led to the
conversion of a gentleman, now q member OF
hi. church. Before his conversion. the man
referred to prided himself on the strict moral
ity Of his life. He wssa moralist in tho strict
sense of the word, and felt that he was ready
to 60 before God in judgment at any time
One night he dreamed that he left this world
and won't to another. He soon found himself
in a large audlonce-room, the door of which
.sd to the abode tho best Over this door
we're written these words None can enter
here but those who have led strictly moral
life, and have paid their honest debts The
word. did not alarm hm he felt that he was
sure Of entering. He had led that moral lite,
and paid his honest debts. o yes, he could
surely enter there.
Very soon poor, wrechea old man came
up to him, and said;
You cannot enter, ysu have not paid your
honest debts
Why, yes have.
An, no don't you remember me? Once
while on earth you were riding in your oar
risge, and l asked you for alms, but you rode
swiftly and scornfully by. You have not paid
your honest debts
Shortly another, seeing him, stepped up to
him and said:
MY dear sir, you cannot pass that door
you have net paid your honest debts
Certainly have.
Do you remember selling me yoke o
oxcn?'
Yes, but | paid the price you demanded
so you did; but You cheated nc; yo
took advantage Of my necessity, Yeu cann0
enter there. ?,
And so it was with one after another. II
began to feel that his morality would ava
. him nothing. Shortly the letters t-ded ava,
f and then came in their place, shining IN clea
beautiful characters, this sentence . The bloo
, of jesus Christ cleanseth from all sim. l
, hi, agony he grasprd Christ as bis only hop
t And when he awoke, he renounced all b
boas. Of morality, accepted Christ as ais on
i salvation, and became living example
II faith and trust in Him.

Biting at the Bare Hook.

The following auecdote is old, but it is
worth reproducing often :
was some time since walking upon the
wharf where fishing boat lay, and as was
passing and re-passiug, the master was utter
ing tremendous oaths. At length turned to
him and, standing beside his boat, said:
Sir, am unacquainted with your busi-
ucss. What kind of fish are these?
They are goldfish rcplod he.
How long are you usually ont, in order to
obtain your load ?
Two or three weeks he answered.
AT what price do you sell them !!
He informed me.
We'll, have you had hard work 20 obtain
living in this way -
Yes, hard work. said be.
With what do you bait these fsh 2
with clans
Did you ever catch mackerel
Yes
We'll now dill you ever catch fish with
out bait :?
Yes said he, was out last year, and
one day when was fixing my line the bare
hook fell into the water, and the !ool TOOK
hold OF it, and drew him in.'
Now, sir said l, have often thought
that Satan was very much like fisherman
He always bates his hook with that kind o
bate nhich different sorts oil sinners like best
but when be would catch a prolanc swearer
he does not take the trouble to put or bate
all, for the fool will always bite at the bar

He was sileot. His countcnancc was sol

My wife looked at the candy with a
critical eye. Then she ruug the bell for
Biddy, who soon made her appearance.
"Where did the children get the molass-
es for their candy ~ she Inquired.
"out of the jug, to be sure" said Bid
dy; "where else should they2 Didn't
they fnd it in the cellar, where 1t had been
ever so long, doing no good to any one,
and SO just said they might have it for
candy"
"But the jug ought not to have been in
the cellar, Biddy that is not its proper
place." said my wife.
"Ohl it's not the jug VIC use, ma'am,"
responded Biddy rand now I'll tell Won
all about it. When Nora, the cook we had
last summer, you remember, was here, she
just accidentally, one day, broke the han
die off the jug, and so that it wouldn't be
in your sight, ma'am, she put it on the up
per shelf in the cellar, where we forgot all
about it. ] suppose, somehow, the cork
got out and the flies got in, but it was very
nice molasses, for all that, ma'am. And
told Miss Lily, when she boiled the mo-
lassesi to be sure and skim off the top of
it, for thought there might be fy or two
in il, and knew flies liked molasses and
that's just the blessed, truth, indeed it is,
mn'aml7
When Biddy had left the room, said to
my wife:
"Tbis is another example, my dear, of
yourhousekeepiug qualifications. Yonnot
only let the children do as they please, but
you allow the servants that same liberty
If they break jug, why you know nothing
about it until months afIerward. when the
children poison themselves with eating
flies"
"Poison themselvesl'' exclaimed my wife;
''you don't mean to say that flies are pois-
onous 2"
"well," I replied, '.I don't regard them
as wholesome food. And / advise you, if
you have any regard for the children's
health, to collect the balance of the candy,
scattered around, aud throw it away"
This opportunity of disposing Of the
candy, which otherwise would be sticking
everything up for week to come, was
appreciated by me, and the few flies dis
covered were almost worth their weight
in diamonds.
Now, my dear" said, after my wife,
having given her orders in regard to the
destruction of the candy, resented herself
near me, "I will state my theory in regard
to domestic government In the first place,
you must adopt, as fundamental precept,
that which Solomon taught"
" My dear" said my wife, al am sorry to
interrupt you, but must leave you and at
tend to getting dinner"
After saying this, my wife abruptly left
the room. My theory, which, however, is
good one, shall insist on her listening
to some day or other.-Home Journal.
