How Knox and Luther Prayed.

During the troublous times of Scot
land, when the Popish church and ar
istocracy were arming themselves to
suppress the Reformation in that land
and the cause of the Protestant Chris
tianity was in imminent peril, late on
a certain night, the vigilant and un-
wearied John Knox was seen to leave
his study, and to pass from the house
down into an enclosure in the rear of
it. He was followed by friend
when, after a few moments of silence,
MS voice was heard as if in prayer
In another moment the accents deep
ened into intelligible words, and the
earnest petition went up from his
struggling soul to heaven: 20, Lord,
give me Scotland or | die y Then a
pause of hushed stiffness, when again
the petitition bro k e for h: 40,
Lord, give me Scotland, or | die =
Once more all was yoicelesS and noise
less, when with yet intenser pathos
the thrice repeated intercession strug
gled forth: 40, Lord, give me Scot
land, or l dier' And God gave him
Scotland, in spite of Mary and Cardi-
nal Beaton; a land and a church OF
noble Christian loyalty to Christ and
His crown, even unto this day. How
could it be otherwise
So Luther, when Germany and the
Reformation seemed to be lost, and
human help was none; this was the
prayer which that second Moses went
and laid down at the foot of the eter-
nal throne: 20, God, Almighty God
everlasting! how dreadful is this
world behold how its mouth opens
to swallow me up, and how small is
my faith in Thee! If am to depend
upon any strength of the world all is
over. The knelI is struck. Sentence
is gone forth. 0, God! o, God Q,
thou my God help me against all the
wisdom of the world. Thou ShOuldst
do this. The work is not nine, but
Thine. | have no business here
The cause is Thine, and it is righteous
and everlasting. 0, Lord, help me.
o, faithful and Interchangeable God . |
lean not on man. My God, my God,
dost thou not hear? Ny God, art
thou no longer living? Nay, thou
canst not die Thou dost not hide
thvself. Thou hast chosen me for
this work. | know it. Therefore,
o God, accomplish thine own will
Forsake me not, for the sake Of Thy
we'll beloved Son, Jesus Christ, my de
fence, my buclller, and my stronghold"
But he had not done. Once more
the tide of emotion and importantly
bursts forth: Lord, where art thou :?
Ny Cod where art thou? Come, |
pray thee; | am ready. Behold me
prepared to lay down my life for thy
truth. For the cause is holy, 1t is
thine own. | will not let thee go; no,
nor yet for all eternity! Ny soul is

to assure ME of it. Ny soul belongs
| to Thee. and | will abide with Thee
forever. Amen! O, God, send help !!
Amen p
The history of the salvation and
sanctifcation of human souls hitherto
is the history Of such praying as this.

SONG.

On the bank of river was seated ono day
An old man, and close by his side
Was child who had paused from his laughing and
play.
To gaze at the stream as il hurried away
To the sea with the ebb of the tide.
ssWhat see yoa, my child, in the stream s! flows
To the ocean so dark and deep?
Are re watching how swift, yet how silent, itgoes!
Thus hurry our lives as they sink In repose,
And are lost in Ieeasurcless sleep.
"Now listen, my boy You are young, an old,
And yet like two rivers are we,
Though the food-tide of youth from Times ocean
isrolled,
Yet ii GIBBS all too soon, and its waters grow cold
As it creeps out again to the sea-"
But the river returns" cried the boy, While bis
eyes
Cleaned bright as the water below.
"Ah, yes," said the old man, g but time as It flies
Turns the tide of our lives, and it never can rise.
''But first" said the boy, ''it must flow.
Thus, watching its course from the bank Of the
stream,
They unused as they sat side BY side,
Each read different tales in the rivers bright glcam;
One borne with the fow Of a glorious dream,
And one going out with the tide.

Remedy for Kicking Cows.

Cows, says contemporary, seldom kick
without some good reason for it. Teats aro
sometimes chapped or the udder tender harsh
handling hurtsthem and they kick. Sometimes
long and sharp finger nails cut their teats, and
sometimes the mixer pulls the long hairs on
the udder, while milking. Shear off the long
hairs, cut long finger nails close, bathsohapped
tcats with warm water, and grease them well
with lard, and always treat COW gently. She
will never kick unless something hurts her, or
she fears repetition of former hurts. When
handled gently, cows like to bemilked. When
treated otherwise, they viii kick and hold up
their milk. 1t is quite as consistent TO whip a
sick child TO stop its crying, as TO whip or kick
a cow, to prevent her kicking while being milk

MISCELLANY.
Story OF a Picture.

A painter once wanted apictureo Innocence
and drew the likeness of child at prayer. The
little suppIicant was knecling beside his mother
the palms of his uplifted hands were reverently
pressed together; hisrosy cheek spoke of health,
and his mild blue eye was upturned with the
expression of devotion and peace. The portrait
Of young Rupert was much priced by the pain
ter, who hung it up on his study wall, and call
ed it Innocence" Years passed away, and
the artist became an Oldham. Still the picture
hung there He had often thought Of painting
a comterpart,-th picture of guilt,-but had
not found the opportunity. At last he effected
his purpose by paying a visit to neighboring
goal. On the damp floor Of his cell lay a
wretched culprt, named Randall, heavily iron
ed Wasted was his body, and hollow his eye;
vice was visible in his face. The painter sue
ceeded admirably, and the portrait of young
Rupert and Randall were hung side 10y side,
for Innocence" and Guilt" But who was
young Rupert and who was Randall Alas
the two were one. Old Randall was young
Rupert led astray by bad adcompanions, and end
ing his life in the damp and shameful dungeon.

Hon. LEONARD MYERS, Philadelphia, Pa.

The Valley Virginian, speaking of the late
Philadelphia Convention, says =" While ac-
quiescingin and sustaining thisgreat movement
80 far as we can consistently, there are other
and far more important matters for the South
ern people to attend to- AS far as the so-cailed
National politics of the country are concerned,
we have no business dabblng in them, only so
far as to let our Conservative friends North
know, as we have just done, that we are with
them, heart and soul, in their efforts to over
throw the worst enemies a country ever had,
the Radicals. As to the best means to accom-
psh that much desired object, the Conserva-
tives North have decided upon them in this
Convention, and as they make the fight for us,
it is as little as we can do to holdup their hands.
The great necessity of the whole country now,
is to break up and root out the Radical party
the only hope we see of obtaining that object
is the platform, no matter how distasteful in
some respects, of the Philadelphia Convention,
and we bid the Conservatives North God
speed" in the good work"

study to be pert, when softness and kindness

1t is worth while for all farmers, everywhere,
TO remember thai thorough culture is better than
three mortgages on the farm that an offensive
war against weeds is FIVE times less expensive
than defensive one that good fences always
pay better than lawsuits with neighbors that
hay is a great deal cheaper made in sumner
than purchased in the winter that more stock
perish from famine than founder that scrim-
ping the feed of fatting hogs is waste Of grain;
that cows should be MIXED regularly and clean;
and that over-fed fowls won't lay eggs.
