One Of the shortest and most compre-
hensive prayers of modern times, said
Sir. William Wyndham, is that of a SOL
der before the battle of Blenheim : "Oh
God if there be q God, save my soul, if
l have a soul" Bishop Atterbury, who
was present, said he could produce q
prayer as concise as that, and in similar
circumstances. but be thought in a much
better spirit. 1t was that Of a pious SOL
der, uttered Immediately before an en-
gagement "Oh Lord ! If in the hour Of
battle I forget thee, do not thou forget

AUNT HETTY's TOILET IN 1880.

Como listen, girls, aud l will tell,
About Aunt Hetty's toilet,
Twas n that grsced her passing well,
Don't laugh and make me spoilit;
Aunt Hetty stood just five feet ten,
Without her shoes and hose,
Well formed, and graceful too, withal,
Blue eyes and Grecian nose.
Her hair above her reverence bump
Was always neatly tied,
And DER q niue inch cushion drawn,
a And fastened on one side,
While fearful frizxles stood upright
Upon her temples smooth,
For glossy ringlets then were held
Both ugly and uncouth.
Long strings Of pearl of milky blue,
Hung careless from her neck,
Ger her vandyke cut square before
OF muslin without speck;
Her dress of damask silk was made,
Full five ellis wide or moro,
Was stiffened with . whalebone hoop:
And swept the sandy floor.
The ample sleeve the elbow reached,
And fastened by . band;
And gloves with frills six inches deep,
Adorned each pretty hand;
The waist, three quarters Of q yard,
Was trimmed with ribbon DER,
With point and bow, and tassel hung,
And buttoned up before.
Her spring kid shoes, with peaked toes,
Adorned her little foot,
With heels full out three inches high,
And made of cork to boot;
Her 'kerchief, made of cambria good,
Was always large and ample,
Without embroidery or laceS
Girls, follow her example.
Her bonnet! but my weary muse,
Her feeble wing must drop;
II you would see its like again,
Go view IN old gig top;
And when Aunt Hetty went to church
In corks, calash, and all.
She walked in seven feet dignity,
Oh me, but wasn't she tall!
