The LORDS PRAYER BY BooTu.-In the
palmy days of the elder Booth, before
the sparkle of his great black eye had been
dimmed by the bane of genius, strong
drink, Booth and several friends had been
invited to dine with an old gentleman in
Baltimore of distinguished urbanty and
piety. The host, though disapproving of
theatres and theatre-going, had heard SO
much of Booths remarkable powers. that
curiosity to see the man had overcome all
scruples and prejudices After the enter
tainment was over, the lamps lighted, and
the company reseated in the drawing room
some one requested Booth, as a particular
favor and one which all present could ap-
preciate. to read the Lords prayer Booth
expressed his willingness TO afford them
this qualification, and all eyes were turned
expectantly upon him. Booth rose slowly
and revently from bis chair. 1t was won
derful to watch the play of emotions that
convulsed his countenance. He became
deathly pale. and his eyes turned trembling
ly upwards were wet with tears As yet
he had not spoken. The silence could be
felt. |; haa become absolutely painful,
until at last the spell was broken as if by
an electric shock, as his rich-toned voice,
from white lips, syllabed forth: "Our
Father who art in Heaven DC, with a
pathos and iervid solemnity that thrilled
all hearts He finished. The silence con-
tnued. Not voice was heard nor mus
Gle moved in his rapt audience, until from
a remote corner in the room a subdued sob
was heard, and the old gentleman 1.-THE
host stepped forward with streaming eyes
and tottering frame. and seized Booth by
the hand, " Sir" said he in broken accents,
"you have afforded me pleasure for which
my whole future life will feel grateful l
am an old man, and every day from boy
hood to the present time l thought l had
repeated the Lords prayer, but l never
heard it before, never"
:" You are right" replied Booth; "to
read that prayer as it should be read caused
me the severest study and labor for thirty
years, and | am far from being satisfied
with my rendering of that wonderful pro-
duction. Hardly one person in ten thou
sand comprehends how much beauty, ten
derness and grandeur can be condensed in a
space so small, and in words so simple.
That prayer itself sufficiently illustrates the
truth Of the Bible and stamps upon it the
seal Of divinity SO great was the effect
produced, says our informer, who was pres
ent, that conversation was sustained but y
short time longer in subdued monosylla-
bles, and almost entirely ceased and soon
after at an early hour the company broke
up and retired to their several homes with
sad faces and full hearts.

Singing by spurgson's Congregation

A writer to the Western Presbyterian
thus describes the singing as he heard it,
recently. in spurgeon's congregation. Lon
don :Ifl IfI.ttE HfN|
The hymn was read entirely through,
and each verse was read before it was sung.
The singing was started-not led-by a
person who stood beside Mr.. Spurgeon.
l welcomed the familiar notes Of "Old
Hundred" and for the first time for several
months, essayed to join in singing it. But
l was surprised into silence by the manner
in which the audience took possession Of
the tune. The most powerful organ. if
there had been anything OF the kind used,
could not have led them. The second hymn
was announced to be |" Jesus Lover Of my
soul" The preacher said, Let us sing
this hymn softly to the tune Of Pleyel's
Hymn" When the first verse had been
sung. and after he had reached the second,
he said. sing it softlyw With counte-
nance uplifted and beaming with fervor,
his book in both hands. keeping time in
voluntary to the music, he sang with the
congregation. When he read the third
verse, he said, "You do not sing softly
enough !" They sang it softly. 1t was
as though some mighty hand had damned
up the waters of the Niagra, leaving thin
sheet to creep through between two fingers,
and make soft sweet music in its lap, and
then plunge into the great basin below.
Then, when he had read the fourth verse,
be said, Now if we feel this. we will sing
it. we will sing with all our souls. Let
us sing with all our might" And the
congregation burst forth into song 1t
was as though the great hand had been
suddenly upliited, and the gathered waters
were rushing on their united way in awful
grandeur.

she frugal in her expenses and exact in her
domestic concerns 'She is cnt out for

The Doctor leans back on his old settee.
A putting rank cigar,
And he crins a grin. so pleased is he
To puff the smoke afsr;
And he snufrs and snuff.. and puffs and puds,
Like man with bad catarrh
His boon companion beside him sits,
And stale old quid be chaws;
And plug Of weed, which he bites into bits,
He holds in his dirty paws;
} nd he sits and sits. and sqnrts and spits
The slime from his juicy jaws. ..-
And hsnpy are they as pair Of twins,
Aspiring and slobbering there.
With dirty spttoon between their shins,
Which they hold with the greatest care.

And forgetting then need Of prayer.

A Docs FIDELITY,-A gentleman took
a long walk in the neighborhood of South.
ampton recently. accompanied by his dog,
q fine Newfoundlander. In the evening he
missed some letters from his coat pocket
and his dog. The latter did not surpr SO
him, as his dog often wandered from him
in bis walks. The next day the gentleman
felt annoyed and puzzled at the loss of his
letters and he thought it possible hc might
have drawn them ont Of his pocket with
his handkerchief during his previous days
walk He resolved. therefore, to repeat
the walk, for he might have dropped the
letters in an unflequented path. and they
might be there still, About four miles
from the hospital he came suddenly upon
his dog lying on the ground, with the let
ters close by. The dog must have laid by
the side Of the letters for sixteen hours, in
cluding the whole night. The animal has
been rechrstianed " Postmaster General"
and an artist has sketched him guarding
the letters.

"Mother, put up my dinner" and Mother,
with her loving hands would spread the
bread and butter. and would stow away
the luncheon, and sew on the great patch,
her bcart blimming with affection for the
imperious little curly pate that made her so
many steps and nearly distracted her with
his boisterous mirth
Now she is "the old woman !" but she
did not think it would ever come to that.
She looked on through the future years and
saw her boy to manhood grown and he
stood transfgured in the light Of her own
beautiful love. Never was there q more
noble son than he-honored Of the world
and the staff OF her declining years.
Aye. he was her support even then, but
she did not know it. She never realized
that it was her little boy that gave her
strength for daily toil--that his slender
form was all that upheld her over the brink
OF a dark despair, She only knew how she
loved the child, and felt that amid the
mists of age his love would bear her gently
through its infrmitles to the dark hall
leading to the life beyond.
But tho son has forgotten the mothers
tender minstrations now. Adrift from the
moorings to home. he is cold, selfish, heart

THE. GENTLEMAN.s-He is above o
mean thing. He cannot stoop to mean
fraud. He invades no secret in tue
keeping of another. He betrays no Sc
cret confided to his own keeping. He
never struts in borrowed plumage. He
never takes selfish advantage of our
mistakes. He uses no ignsble weapons
in controversy. He never stabs in the
dark. He is ashamed of inuendoes. He
is not one thing to the mans face and
another behind his back. If by acct
dent he comes in possession of his
neigbor's counsels he passes upon them
an act of instant oblivion. He bears
sealed packages without tampering
with the wax. Papers not meant for
his eyes, whether they flutter ut his
window or lie open before him in I'M
guarded exposure, are sacred to him.
He invades no privacy of Others, how
ever the sentry sleeps. Bolts and bars,
locks aud keys, hedges and pickets,
bonds and securities, notice to tres
paSsers, are none of them for him. He
may be trusted by himself out Of sight
near the thinnest partition-any-
where. He buys no offices, he sells
none, he intrignes for none. He would
rather fail Of his rights than win them
through dishonor. He will eat honest
bread. He tramples on no sensitive
feeling. He insults no man. If he
have rebuke for another, he il straight
forward, open, manly. In short, what
ever he judges honorable he practices
toward every man.
