A PRISONERS PRAYER.

MRS. II. X. HERvEY, the widow OF tho poet OF
that name, who has lately published q novel
with the romantic title of "Snooded Jessaline," "
contributes the following poem to the Athdnoum
based on the words written by Caroline Matilda
Queen of Denmark on the window Of her prison
at Kronberg:
"oh, keep me nnocent-make others great!"
Such was thy captive cry,
Thou, ft TO rule though not where kings keep
state,
And litter still TO die.
"To die, and rule the world with words that live:
To pass to dust and leave
a pearl TO Time. Thy pearl Of prayers shall
give
Light while his seas shall heave.
"oh, tender pleader--Innocency' mate
Womani couldst thou not sec
How wild prayer was thine7 mot mo make
great"
What angel blindedth thee?
"Thy voice was raised I'M vain. Thou didst but
rave.
How weak vast thou to cry,
Sweet innocence let live!" Behold-a grave:
Sweet innocence must die.
"Great Heaven confoends thy prayer, Noio thou
dost see
How God is love, not hate,
Took back thine innocence In taking thee,
And, taking, left thee great"

p.iy your Pastor.

PAY yourj pastor what you have
promised. II it be sufficient for his
temporal support, his mind will be free
from worldly cares, and he may give
himself up to the work Of his ministry
with cheerful, contented, and happy
heart. He will respect and love you
for your liberality, and labor the more
earnestly for your spiritual good. He
will not be easily drawn away to anoth-
er tield-at least he will not be ever
seeking change. Able to educate his
children, to supply his library with the
best books Of the day, happy in the
midst of home comforts, and able to
lay up little for the time when he
must be laid aside, he has nothing to
do but to study and labor for your good
and the Masters glory.
If the salary be inadequate, it is all
you promised, and perhaps all you aro
able to give. He knew it when he ac-
cepted your call. If he be man Of
earnest devotion to the work, willing
to make sacrifices of personal comfort
for the sake of preaching Christ, he
may reduce. his expenses TO his income,
and still be happy and useful. You
ought to appreciate his labor of love
and pay him by all means, to the day
and the dollar. You may be too poor
to give him more, but you cannot afford
to be dishonest, especially toward one
who is sacrificing so much for your
spiritual good.
But what is the pastor to do whose
salary is paid only in part, or in uncer-
tain instalments, coming in long after
the quarter has become due? What is
he TO do?3s How is he to sustain his
character for common honesty? Your
promise will not pay his butchers bills,
the grocer's, or the booksellers. How
can he love you as dear children in
Christ, or pray for you, or labor in the
study, the pulpit, or from house to
house, as he should? Is it a matter of
surprise that he should preach dull
sermons, and seldom call to spend
pleasant hour at your homes? Is it to
be wondered at, if he should become
dissatisfied with you, and you with
him, his ministrations Improbable to
you, his temper soured, and his charac-
ter and influence as minister of the
gospel ruinedT
No congregation can afford to let their
PASTORS salary remain unpaid. They
can better afford to borrow the money
at fifty per cent, than fail to meet their
just obligations to him, and bear the
consequences which inevitably follow
to both pastor and people. Pay your
pastor what you have promised. III.

did not lose consciousness, for mo-
ment. In the midst of my fall seized
with both hands the rope. 1 felt the
stick at the other end of the rope, and
upon which 1 sat, break under me,
through the sudden plunge and tho
weight of my body, and that / was on
ly connected still with the upper world
by the second small rope, that was
wound around my body. "Draw in!

cousins above, who answered my sig
nal, and the rope was at once drawn in

wounded eagle, as could still observe,
was striving to cling with his claws to
the rocky ledge and reach his nest.
''Sir, / was in my youth one Of the
first wrestlers, and my arms and mus
cles were of such strength that they
could be measured against the best in
all the IN ountains. But was, and am
also what is called "man of corpu-
lence," and soon perceived that the
small rope in the lohg ascent of eighty
feet, could not alone bear my heavy
body. Necessarily my arms must lend
assistance, If / would reach the summit.
l did what was in my power, and
clinched with both hands the large rope

tie weight of my body, the ascent must
proceed but slowly. Longingly direc-
ted my glances above. Repeatedly /
cried to my cousins "Draw in-draw
in! !" They answered encouragingly,
but the ascent, however, was not, on
this account, quicker; the muscles of
my arms were strained to their utmost,
and my strength was failing more and
more.
"Suddenly felt that cold, clammy
sweat was covering me. AS l looked,
longingly towards the top, / observed
an icy chill, even now, runs through
me that under the weight of my body
the knot Of the small rope was slowly
unloosening from the larger, and with
every second the moment drew nearer
when l must rely solely upon the al
ready failing strength Of my arms.
81 shall never in my life forget that
moment. With every pull from above,
the knot heightened, the plunge into
the abyss was nearer. Once more,' /
cried, in the deepest anguish of soul,
to my cousins; closer and more convul-
sively my hands grasped the rope, then
l closed my eyes-commending my
soul to God-the Lord in heaven helped

near me, and a hand seized my hair,
and drew me towards it. "Scppel, for
Gods sake. what has happened to you?
Where is your hat-your staff?

were kneeling upon the precipice, and
drawing in the rope, to bring me to
terra firma. had been nearer the top
than 1 had supposed. The knot, al
though already half loosed, had contin-
ued to hold, and bear its burden till the
last. Perhaps two minutes later the
end would have slipped, and sent me
into the abyss. When I reached the
summit OF the rock, l sank to the earth
in a swoon. How long l lay thus, l
know not; but when, few days after

my relations, and learned that l had
had high fever, and been delirious,
my elder cousin, smiling, held a glass

How "a Seller of Beer was Sold.

THERE are few men in Cincinnati
who make living by selling cheaJ
signs of various kinds to hang outsid,
of corner groceries, saloons, etc.
Since it was recommended by thu
Board Of Health that sign inscribed
Small Pox' should be suspended in from
OF houses where that disease prevailed
one Of the most enterprising of the
cheap sign dealers prepared quantity
OF them to be ready for an expected de.
mand. Yesterday morning he called
with his assortment at lager beer
saloon.
"Want any signs ?" he inquired of
the portly proprietor.
"Yaw," said Hans, 81 wants sign
"Sawdust Vonted!"
"Here 1t is" said the dealer, who
was o graceless scamp, handing him
one of his small pox signs, and receiv-
ing his pay departed.
The unsuspecting Teuton, supposing
it was all right, and not being able to
read English, hung it outside his door.
People passing on the walk saw the
sign, turned pale, and hurried to the
other side Of the street. Regular Gus.
TONERS came, caught sight of the door
knob, and stole away, remarking that
they guessed that they warn't very dry
that morning. An importunate credit
or, whom nothing could daunt before,
blanched at the sight of the sign, and
going home went to bed straight.
In the meantime the saloon keeper
was wondering at the absence of his
customers. The regular forenoon lunch
was spread-soup, boiled tripe, bologna
sausage, stewed liver and onions, saur.
kraut and brown bread-but no one to
partake Of it.
Being Of a social disposition, this soli-
tude was oppressive to him, besides
being Improbable.
At length one man did come in, and
called for glass of beer. His face was
deeply pitted. He had had it.
" see by your sign out there" said
the man with a motion of the head
toward the front door, "that you have
got it bad here"
"Nein,', replied Hans, supposing that
he alluded to sawdust wanted; 81 don't
have got 'em now already. l goost
puts out mine sign SO getch 'em ven
dey GONE dis vey, all de vile!"
"1Ou want to catch it ?" said the Gus.
toner In amusement.
"Yaw, that's what's the madder. |
wants whole loads OF 'em. Goot tings
to have nit der house. l panks him
up nit dee cellar unit cellar, und spring.
les der floor NIT my saloon all over
init him. 1 CLEANS out der house NIT
him bodily, mind tell you."
YOU'RE right,' said the stranger.
"If small pox wont clean out house
don't know what will"
"Schmall box" exclaimed the aston.
ished Dutchman; "vat you mean by
schmall box, hey ?"
Explanation Of course ensued and the
wrath Of that beer jerker and lunch-set
ter was fearful to behold. Could he
have fastened his embrace upon that
painter at the time, he would have
"died and made no sign" more.

Cause, by whose almighty fiat we were
formed.
Webelieve our business hereis to obey
the orders of our superiors.
We believe that every soldier who
does hts duty will be happy here and
hereafter.
We believe that General Washington
is the only fit man in the world to head
the American army.
We believe that Nathaniel Green Yves
born a general.
We believe that Baron Steuben has
made us soldiers, and that he is capable
of forming the whole world into solid
column, aud deploying il from the cen

We believe in his "blue book"
We believe in General Knox and his

We believe in our bayonets.-Amen.

Common ratio, Is, ,446. Lincoln should
have had 12l electors. Douglas SO,
Breckenridge So. and Bell IS. Douglas
obtained less than ne.seventh of the
electoral votes which belonged to him
upon the popular vote. Though second
in choice with the people he was the
lowest in the electoral vote of the four
candidates. If by slight change of
vote in few States the election had
gone to the House of Representative
he would have been,.ruled out, as the
House must choose from the three cam
didates highest in electoral vote, and
Breckenridge or Bell would probably
have been elected by the House.
might refer to several other presi-
dental elections. For instance, in 1864,
the ratio for the Lincoln electors was
10, ,292 and for the NJ Clellan electors SG,-
pa. In 1868 the difference between the
ratios of Grant and Seymour electors was
somewhat less, but still very remarka-
Bile. In both those elections the popu-
lar majority, as reported, secured the
result they desired. But this was for
tunate or accidental rather than cer-
tain result under our electoral system
as now constituted. The election of
1924 proves that plurality as well rs IA
minority candidate may suffer heavy
loss Of electoral votes, and in fact be de-
feated. And the subsequent cases must
convince us that there is danger of de-
feat in future elections even to MAORI
ty candidates.
The conclusion to be drawn from the
facts in our political history is that at
any time candidate with minority
of votes given to him by the people Of
the United States may have a majority
in the electoral College. / have refer
red to these facts not only to show that
tho committee examined the subject,
but that they acted wisely in recomend-
ing the proposition before us. 1t is in
my opinion wise and timely. 1t will
secure to the people the right of choos-
ing electors, and will render possible
any plan or measure of reform in regard
TO the manner in which such electors
shall be chosen-Boston Commonwealth.
The above figures do not include the
podular vote ofSouth Carolina in which
State Electors were chosen by the Leg
islature. Ed. COL.

Six thousand Pierce voters obtained
an elector while $4,000 were required
for Scott elector! Now, dividing the
whole popular vote by the whole num-
Der Of electors, we obtain the average or
common ratio of votes to each elector
Of 1O,5 ,562. II electors, then had been OBJ
tained by the several candidates in pro-
portion to the reported popular vote for
each the result would have been -
Pierce, $50; Scott, 1871; and Hale, Is.
BY the defective plan upon which elec-
tors were chosen 1t appears, then, that
Pierce had 10i more electoral votes than
his due share; that Scott had 80 less
than his share, and that Hale was de-
prived entirely Of electors. And it is
to be remembered that the 1Oi electoral
votes to Pierce in excess of his due share
really count 20S upon the result in the
electoral colleges, because they are de-
Quoted from the other candidates.
Take next the Presidential election of
