Prayer with a Postscript.

HARRY is-we belieye--the name OF 9
youngster in friends family who has
Just outgrown "Now l lay me-" and is
stepping into the maturity of prayers OF
his own composition at bedtime. One
day his will had clashed with some OF the
regulations of the kitchen, and there was
boyish trouble with Lizzie, the domestic.
His prayer that night ran very much as
usual, with its simple request: God bless
papa, and mamma, and Fred, and Lizzie,
for Jesus sake. Amen" Hardly was he
off his knees, however, before he seemed
to be pondering some subject with much
intenseness The secret appeared as he
suddenly dropped upon his knees again
and amended the former request as fol-
lows: 40 Lord, never mind Lizzie.
Amen" 1t would be pity, in laughing
at the story, to lose its lesson Of sincerity.
Harry had not "improved to the COM
mon.prayer. meeting Journalism. Perhaps
some of US who are wont to get into trouble
with our neighbors might also find sug-
gestion concerning that kind of conduct
which takes awkward shape when carried
to the throne of grace.-ddpdnce. o

This Is the way to push the financial
question-to tell the truth about IL. To
show that although the rebellion of the
Southern wing of the Democratic party,
sustained by the opposition offered 10 the
Government by Mr. Seymour and his
friends, has thrown great debt upon the
country, yet the energy and Industry
which conquered the rebellion will, with
equal determination, easily pay the honest
cost of the incidentally precious victory.

The nautilus is a navigator; he raises and
lowers his sail, casts and weighs his an

PEOPLE who are apprehensive that some

have not been reassured by the assertions
Of scientific men that comets are mainly

a small comet, has recently fallen on the
earths surface near Warsaw, in Poland,

contrary, being itself shiVered TO pieces by

it now becomes my painful duty to record the
death of her son, JOHN BALTIMORE, in the -
year of his age. John had been entirely help
less for six weeks from uparalytc stroke. and
the close attention of the most skillful physi-
clans could not reach his case, and on the 81
Of October he passed away without u struggle
or groan. He was clever young man, and
remarkably kind to his parents and sisters-an
example that should be initiated by the young
and rising generation. He seemed to be deep
ly impressed with the idea that his doom
was sealed, and he was not known to smile
during his affliction. He made u profession Of
religion in his youth but hd become wild and
neglected his duty; but during his sickness lie
stated that he prayed all the time, and would
meet his mother in Heaven, Il nd eXhorted his
brothers and sisters to follow his example. His
llntimcly death should be q solemn warning to
all his young friends, and especially his broth
