THE LORDS PRAYER.-A maiden
knelt in the twilight hour, and clasp
ing her hands, breathed fervently
forth: "Our Father, who art in
Heaven, hallowed be thy name"
A mother in deep agony of grief,
gazed on her child, sleeping her long
last sleep, smile wreathing her soft
lips and white hands folded across
that still and pulseless heart, and
kneeling there, the living beside the
dead, she prays: "Thy will be done -
As the early beams Of the orient
gilds the sleeping land, a widow with
her suffering little ones, chilled by
poverty and woe, bows at the throne
of grace, and fervently prays: "Give
us this day our daily bread"
An aged father, as his loved and
loving boy goes forth from his pa
ternal care, to brave the cold frowns
of life, kneels beside him on the eve
of departure, and pleads: "Lead
him not into temptation, but deliver
him from evil, for thine is the king
dom, the power, and the glory, for
ever and ever. Amen"

A Coop NEwspAPER.-ShoW lis an
intelligent family Of boys and girls,
and we will show you a family
where newspapers and periodicals
are plenty. Nobody who has been
without these private tutors, can
know their educational power for
good or evil, Have you eyel
thought Of the innumorable topics
of discussion which they suggest at
the breakfast table; the important
measures with which thus early our
children become acquainted; great
philanthropic questions Of the day,
to which unconsciously their atten-
ton is awakened, and the general
spirit of intelligence that is invoked
by these quiet visitors? Anything
that makes home pleasant, cheerful
and chatty-thus the haunts of vice
and the thousand and one tempta-
tions-should certainly be regarded
when we consider its influence on
the minds of the young, as a great
social and moral light.-Emer8on.

Az the train started she returned,

while the cars passed through the

The Monkey and the Cats.

The old-time readers and spoilers con-
tanned many instructive fables and useful
stories. Indeed in many respects they
were superior to their successors. Who
would like anything better than the old
Elementary Speller, or the old English
Reader 2. In one of the old readers was
told the fable of "the monkey and the
CATS which ran substantially, that two
old cats had two pieces of cheese between
them, and couldn't agree who should have
the lager. At last the matter was re-
ferred to a monkey, who placed the pieces
in scale, and, finding one too large, bit
off small portion, and little TOO much
to let the scales balance. Proceeding in
this manner and the cheese rapidly disap-
pearing, one of the cats became alarmed,
and said. meekly, that she would abe sat
isfied with the smallest piece n' To which
his monkeyship replied:
"YoU may be satisfied, but JUSTICE is
not !"
And so he kept on till all of the cheese
had gone to satisfy the claims of Justice !;
and the poor cats, sharing the fate of Old
Mother Hubbard's dog, when she went to
the cupboard to get him bone-"HAD
NoNE!" Moral: Never 60 to law about
small matter.

at once circulated in regard to it. Those
already told in our hearing would make

from publishing any Of these rumors,

thenticated. The law will take its course
and nothing we have said or may say will
change the result 1t has been remarked
that the comments in regard to Harry
Roberts conduct were ill timed. Perhaps
they were, and there may, under all the
circumstances have been nothing sgnifi-
cant in the fact that he "did not 90 with
the crowd to the scene of the murder"
This it IS safe to say: Some one committed
the fearful crime Of murder and whoever
it was knors 1t, and the voice of his
slaughtered victims blood crieth from the
ground for the punishment of the MUIR
derer.
