The Radicals throughout the North
always open their political meetings
with prayer. They have an overplus
of ex.army chaplains, who attend
these political gatherings for the pur-
pose of enlisting the Almighty in their
electioneering schemes These Holy
Willies open the meeting by making
10 God a rather prejudiced statement
of the status of the political affairs of
the country. They then make sue
cinct statement of the wants Of their
party, and ask the Almighty to attend
70 them and, see that they are supplied.
10 make the matter perfectly clear,
they chalk out limo Of policy which
they desire to have adhered to, and
ask God to bless them by ordering
matters according to their programme.
A Radical meeting recently held in
Richmond, Va, was called to order by
the notorious Hunnicutt, and opened
with prayer by colored preacher
named Harris. The following is the
prayer:
"Oh, Lord God, bless our enemies
bless President johnson. We would
not have him sent TO hell. Come, oh
come, good Lord, and touch his heart,
even while am talking with you
here tonight. Amen. Show him
the error of his ways. Have mercy
upon our Moses [sarcastic-grest
laughter who, like Esau, sold his
birthright for a morsel of pottage-
took us in the wilderness and left us
there. Come down upon him, oh,
Lord, with thy blessing. God bless us
in our meeting tonight, and help US
in what we do. God forbid that We
should choose any Conservative that
has the spirit of the devil in his heart,
and whose feet take hold on hell.
God bless our old friend--true and
tried-Mr, Hunnicutt, who has stood
great many sorrows, and | think be
can stand a great many more. Laugh
ter Bless our judge, Mr. Under
wood, who is down here among us,
and don't lot anything harm a hair OF
his head"

The most condensed and cutting
satire upon the Bishops yet published,
is conveyed in Punch's cartoon. Ii is
called "The Pan Anglican Washing
Day" and represents the Bishops as
a company OF washerwomen, with
their lawn sleeves tucked up, engaged
in washing their linen. Around thom
stand a number OF small tubs marked
emissions" but in the midst Of the
work comes in Mr.. Punch, almost
back-broken under the load Of a ter
ritis basketball Of dirty linen. marked
nColenso," "Rationalism," "Ritual-
ism, &c. The Bishops oye him angrily
and with . snarl bid him "Go take
'sm away, we can't be worried with
these things."

The mutual endurance of protracted
trial will bind hearts together more
closely often than the bearts them
selves are aware Of at the time. Alb.
sence, too, will cover over little differ
ences of disposition, the wear and tear
of daily contact, and the inevitable,
though often invisible conflict of the
frequently opposing interests of selfish
wills. 1t is blessed work that Time
does in burying any remembrance Of
human frailties that may have existed,
and cherishing only the better, nobler
deeds end influences of our lives. We
forget the little weaknesses, and recall
only the strength of old friends, when
separation is broken and union comes
again. And our sympathies are en-
larged, and effection is rekindled, and
the greeting is generous and heartfelt.
So 1t was that we came back 70 find
open hearts and open homes on all
sides, with not one inharmonious voice
in the midst of this faithful and beloved
charge. 1t is always worth while for
one TO 20 back occasionally, TO discover
by the test how true is human nature
especially in Christian people where
it has been rcgenerated-to the higher
instincts and sentiments Of life. One
knows not how many and how sincere
are the friendships of life, which we
are constantly forming, if we seek to
deal Justly and truly by our fellow-men,
until we come toreview them together,
and to measure them by common
standard in odr hearts. Then the
response comes in ardour, unconcealed
and unaffected.

A little three-year old stood by his
mothers khee, looking his baby broth
er, few months old, in the face. At
length he inquired, "Mama, did God
maket he baby ~ "Yes, dear" was the
reply. Touching one of the organs TO
which be referred with his finger, he
inquired "Did God put on his little
ears 2" "Certainly, my child" said
the mother. Waiting a minute, as

A good Joke came off quite recently
at court house. A person, living a
short distance out of the village, is in
the habit Of frequently coming to town
and drinking TO inebriation. At such
seasons he is apt to call on his honor
Judge NJ. Recently he made one
Of bis visits, became decidedly tipsy,
called upon Judge NJ, and desired
the Judge TO write him pledge, assert
ing his intention TO cease drinking.
His honor wrote the pledge, as desired,
and the tipsy individual affixed his
name thereto. He then desired to
have the pledge that he might take IL
home and exhibit it to his wife. His
Honor thought be was himself the
proper custodian of the important doc
ument, but yielded TO the solicitations
of the man, at the same time assuring
him that if he broke tho contract and
appeared before him in state of in
toxication he would have him locked
up. A week elapsed, and the Judge
was confronted by the same man, as
tipsy as aforetimes "How is this p
said his Honor; "did / not tell you
/ would have you locked up if you did
not keep your agreement
Judge NJ" said the tipsy fell
low, "you think am fool i know
what | am about. III show you il i
am fool p and he drew forth his
wallet from his pocket, took out his
pledge, unfolded It's worn creases, and
holding it up triumphantly, exclaimed
"Will you show me the United States
internal revenue stamp on that agree
mentY The Judge caved.
