States within the Union since they became
parties to the federal government, and that tho
failure to maintain their assertions Of indepen-

The Unfinished Prayer.

Now | lay"-say it darling;

Ofmy daughter, kneeling, bending,
Der her folded finger-tips.
"Down to sleep ITO sleep" she murmured
And the curly head dropped low.
AZ pray the Lord"-I gently added,
"You can say it all, know"
''Pray the Lord the words came family,
Fainter still-''My soul to keep;"
Then the tired head fairly nodded,
And the child was fast asleep.
But the dewy ewes half opened,
When clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice softly whispered,
Mamma, God knows all the rest
o, the trusting, sweet confding
of the child heart Would that
Thus might trust my Heavenly Father,
Who hears my feeblest cry.
