The Nations Prayer.

The following poem, written by a young lady @
New York for fastday service first appeared in th
New York Post, August 8, 1854. It's words seem pro
phetc, in view of the coming election of Gen. Gran
as the next President:
Father, to Thy throne ascending
List the nations prayer to Thee:
With their hearts and voices blending,
od-Grant-Victoryi
We have suffered, 0, our Father
In the great cause, Liberty;
Now come to Thee for succor-
od-Grant-Victory
Vacant chairs are in our households,
Vacant hearts each day we see
That in anguish often Whisper
od-Grant-Victoryi
Father, never let base traitors
In this land of brave and free,
Rule Ger those whose hearts are saying
od-Grant-Victory
Tins to Thee our prayer is rising
Thus we humbly come to Thee.
Asking thee in broken accents
od-Grant-Victoryi
But if Thou wouldst longer listen.
Well submit our all to Thee
Knowing that in His good pleasure
God will grant us Victory
Then. when this dread strife is over.
And the day of peace we see
We shall keep our countrys watchword--
God and Grant and Victory!

The Orphans Wall.

BY FRANCES s. PAGE.
By grave a child was knecling.
Meath dropping willow, weeping;
oh T! no one loves me now. she sighed.
No one loves me since Mother died.
Her waving hair was golden hue,
And eyes the deepest azure blue,
Oh no one loves me now, she cried.
No one loves me since Mother died.
Father was very drunk. know,
And beat my darling Mother so;
Looking up to the sky she said,
No one loves me. my Mothers dead.
NO one gives me warm, sweet kisses,
Or gentle. loving caresses--
With hands reached up to heaven she cried
Oh! give me love since Mother died.
Three days I've had no food to eat,
No one to dress me clean and neat,
For no one loves me now, she said,
No one loves me. for Mothers dead.
I'm weary. faint and hungry now;
Parched are my lips, feyered my brow,
And none to love me now, she cried
No one TO love me since Mother died.
When kneel down at night to pray,
oh no one tells me what to say.
With bitter, burning tears she said
OIL give me love now Mothers dead.
No one tells me of angels bright,
Watching over me day and night.
Clasping the empty air, she cried,
Oh give me love since Mother died.
My heart is very sad to o-night,
Longing for love, my life to light;
But no one loves me now, she said,
No one loves me. for Mothers dead.
Butvery soon will Lulu die.
And here beside her Mother lie,
For no one loves me now. she cried,
No one loves me since Mother died
Soon I'll be in the Spirit Land,
On that blessed, glorious strand
Love will be given me there. she said.
For there my Mother is not dead

A QUEER HYMN BooK.-A good Joke
is told of preacher in Nebraska, who
had dined with a friend just before af-
ternoon services. As it happened, this
friend occasionally luxuriated in smile
of the ardent, and sometimes carried a
morocco-covered flask in his overcoat
pocket.
BY mistake the minister took the
friends overcoat for his own on his de-
parture, and, walking into the pulpit,
began the exercises without doffing the
garment, it being rather chilly in the
room. Looking very ministerially over
his congregation from behind his specta-
cles, he began drawing from his pocket,
as he supposed, his hymn-book, with the
Introductory remark that the congrega-
tion would sing from particular page
which he had selected beforehand.
The minister held the supposed book
up in full sight of the congregation, and
attempted to open itsideways, but it was
no go.
The situation was realized in mo-
ment, but, alas too late.
His reverence was dumbfounded, the
audience giggled, and the whole scene
was made ludierous by fellow in the
back part of the congregation, not alto
gether too sober, who drawled out:
Say, Mister, kin we all (hic) jine in
that ar hymn 2"

A romantic pair in Pennsylvania are
blessed with a number of daughters.
The eldest was called Caroline, the sec
ond Madeline, the third Eve-line, the
fourth Ange-line when 10! the fifth
made its appearance and no name could
be found with the desired termination.
Determined, however, to fight it out ON
that line if it took all summer" the pa
rents at length pounced upon name
very popular in the neighborhood, and
forthwith the baby was christened Crino-
line!

in Buffalo one day, Mr.. Coe met Fred.
who said he had been searching for the
dog ever since the receipt of his letter,
but without any success thus far.
81 have, however," said Fred, ga lit
tie bill that l would like you to settle if
convenient"
lie thereupon produced bill which
ran, (and it is running yet, we reckon).
about as follows:

To one weeks board at Mansion

Tothree meals at "Terrapin,' 1,5O
To three meals at Rloomers, 800
To sundry meals at various rostau-
rants, 1000
Total, s31,OO
"What does this mean p" said Coe.
"You wanted mo to look up your
dog, didn't your"
Certainly"
You expected to pay any expense 1
went to? 2"
Of course, any reasonable expense"
Well, that's just what I've been do
ing. l have been boarding around at
the various hotels and restaurants, tast-
ing sausage, to see if I could find any
traces of your dog, but haven't yet"
He was excused from any further
search in that way.
Once, in Cleveland, Fred was soliciting
passengers at the dock, for the Buffalo
boat. As the boat was about to leave, a
carriage drove furiously to the dock and
out got ponderous puffy man, with an
immense expanse of white shirt-bosom,
followed by an equally fat wife, with a
nurse and several children.
This way for the Buffalo boat!"
sllouIed Fred.
The man with the broad shirt-bosom
wanted to know what the passage for
himself and family would amount to be-
fore coming aboard.
Tell you in minute" said Emmons.
whipping out a big red lead pencil used
in filling out posters
Then, before he knew what he was
about, Fred had it all figured out an the
old fellows broad white shirt-front |
There was moment of speechless rage
on the part of the man, as he cast his
eyes from the big red figures on his shirt
bosom, to Fred, who looked the image of
guileless innocence at that moment, and
then he pitched in and gave Fred such a
whaling that he was laid up in bed for
six weeks after. To most people twould
seem to have been rather an expensive
joke, but Fred always declared it was
".worth it," He said the astonishment
of the old mans face when he saw the
figuring, was "better than to be licked
to DEATH" We should say so.
Fred was a great boaster. He boast
ed too much and too loud one day. He
had been absent from Cleveland for
long time, and coming back one day, he
said he had been to California and the
gold diggings, and brought back lots Of
gold. Some fellows who believed the
story followed him out of saloon one
night, into lonely street, and murdered
him for his money. They didn't find
cent about him to reward them for the
bloody deed. Poor Fred If he could
say anything about it he would say it
was good joke on them

A HAPPY REJo1NDER.-At Oxford.
some twenty years ago, tutor of one Of
the colleges limped in his walk. Stop
ping one day at a railway station, he was
accosted by well-known politician, who
recognized him, and asked if he was not
the chaplain of the college at such a
time, naming the year. The doctor re-
piled that he was. /" / was there" said
his interrogation, and knew you by your
limp" well" said the doctor, it
seems that my limping made a'deeper
impression than my preaching" "Ah,
doctor" was the reply with ready wit,
ait is the highest compliment we can pay
a minister to say that he is known by his
walk rather than by his conversation.
al say, Mr.. Pilot, amt you going to
start soon?" said nervous traveller on
a steamboat lying to during fog. "As
soon as the fog clears up" replied the
captain. "Well, it's starlight now over
head" said the man. "Oh, yes; but we
are not going that way"
A good story is told of bootblack
whose energies were taxed by the huge
shoes of private justice returned from
war; the little fellow kneeling down
looked over his shoulder to friend, and
exclaimed: Lend me some spit Jim;
I've got an army contract"
