| DO NOT LIKE TO HEAR HIM PRAY.

/ do not like to hear him pray,
Who loans at twenty five per cent;
For then I think the borrower may
Be pressed to pay for food apd rent,
And in that book we all should heed,
Which says the lender shall be blest,
As sure as l have eyes to read,
1t does net say take interest"
l do not like to hear him pray
On Bonded knees, about an hour,
For grace Alright to spend the day,
Who knows his neighbor has 40 flour;
I'd rather see him 20 to mill,
And buy the luckless brother bread,
And see his children eat their fill,
And laugh beneath their humble shed.
lido not like to see him pray,
"Let blessings on the widow be-"
Who never seeks her home to say
"If want o'ertakes you come to me-"
1 hate the prayer, SO loud and long,
That's offered for the orphans veal,
By him who sees him crushed by wrong
Aud only with the lips doth feel.
lido not like to hear her pray,
With jeweled ear and silken dress,
Whose washerwoman tolls all day,
And then is asked to work for less"
Such pious shavers l despise;
With folded hands and face demure,
They lift to heaven their "angel eyes,"
Then steal the earnings Of the poor.
lido not like such %soulless prayers,
If wrong, l hope to be forgiven;
No angels wing them upwards bears
They're lost q million miles from HEAVIER
I cannot like long prayers to hear,
And studied, from the lips depart;
Our Father bends . ready ear,
Let words be low-He hears the heart.

Large Noses.

The epoch Of Louis Quartese was the
epoch OF great men, great ideas, great
things, because it was the epoch Of large
noses. The epoch of the Regency, on the
contrary, was the epoch of little men, little
art, little everything, because it was the
epoch Of little noses, Of snub noses, turn
ed-up noses. All great times, ell great
people, all great men have been distin-
guished by long noses. The nose is the
rudder OF the human frame, only placed in
front. With long straight nose one
marches direct to his goal, without look
Ing to the right hand or to the left but
with short nose. squat nose, or nose
turned up, one advances by tracking in a
sigzag line, futtering to and fro like q but.
terdy. This is the reason Why children,
grizettes, and negroes have no stability OF
charac ter, in fact have not character at all,
but cry and sing without cause, and just
as chance directs them. All the generals OF
the Order of Jesuits have been long -nosed
to man. The Order indeed, is only recruit
ed from men with long noses. All foun-
ders of empires and systems have been
remarkable for their long straight noses
such as Alexaader the Macedonian, A Augus-
tus Cesar, Napoleon, Aristotle, Moses,
Mohammed, and Ignatius Loyola. So
crates indeed, had little to boast OF in
this respect, but his fayorite disciple, Pla-
to, made up for this deficiency, aud bad
nose enough for both.

FRAUDS THROUGH THE POsToRFIoEs.
one of the most common frauds perpetra.
ted through the medium of the postofice is
that Of the bogus lottery. After repeated
warnings ofthe press, it is astonishing what
an immense numbero of people are still swim
died by unprincipled parties in schemes Of
this description. The modus operandi OF
the bogus LOTTERY is as follows Some.
needy individual assumes fictcious name,
and sends large number ofsealed circu-
lars through the mail, addressed to the
postmasters of small villages and others
throughoA the country, enclosing at the
same time ticket to each one for share
in grand distribution Of prizes by grand
art union association, to be drawn st q GER
tain town on certain day. The tickets are
sent short time before the day ANNOUNCED,
accompanied by circular stating that I" we
take the liberty" &C., and that, should you
wish to have chance, ,you have only TO send
them i've dollars, the price Of the ticket.
Of course, few persons are foolish enough
to be duped by such proposal as this, but
these are only the preliminary steps of the
grand swindle. In few days another cir
cular arrives stating that your ticket No.
has drawn prize of $l00, which will be for
warded to you as soon as the price OF the
ticket is received. On receipt OF this q
large number are caught in the trap and re-
NIT SIS, wait patiently the arrival Of the
prize, which. OF course, never comes.
The operations in this and similar enter
prises are quito extensive. aud have not jet
been thoroughly exploded. Thousands and
thousands ofcirculsrs are daily sent through
thes posto6ice, containing offers OF gold
watches for mere tri6e, pair Of whiskera
and moustache in month for one dollar
aud hundred other things which all will
readily recollect.
