THE PRAYER-SEEKER.
rY IoIrS 6. wnITTIEH.

BY IoIIS C. wHIrTiEE-
Along the aisle where prayer was made
A woman, all in black arrayedt
CioSe-veiled between the kneeling host.
With gliding motion OF ghost,
Passed TO the desk and laid thereon
A scroll which bore these words alone
Pray for me!
Back from the place OF worshiping
she glided like guilty thingi
The rustle OF her draperiesY stirred
BY hurrying feet, alone was heard;
While full OF awe, the preacher readt
As out into the dark she sped
Back TO the night from whence she came.
To unimaEined griefor shamel
Across the threshold OF the door
None knew the burden that she bore;
Alone she len the written scroll,
The legend Of a troubled soul
Pray for me!
Glide on. poor ghost Of woe or sinl
Thou leaV'st q common need within;
Each bears, like thee, some nameless weight
Some misery tnarticulate,
Some secret sin, some shrouded qTeAu'
Some household sorrow all unsaid'
Pray for Us!
Pass ont The type Of all thou art,
sad witness to the common hearti
With face in vail and seal on up.
In mute tsnd strange companlonahlps
like thee W.. wonder 90 and fro,
Dumbly implorlng as We go;
Pray for US!
All, who shall pray, since he who ple9as
our want perchance hath greater neeosF
Net thew VFko make their loss the gain
OF others shall not ask In vain,
And Heaven bends low 70 hear the prayer
OF love from lips Of self despair
Pray for Us!

Whose walls OF iron only move,
And ouen TO the touch OF love.
He only feels his burdens fall
Who taught BY suffering, pities all.
Pray for US.
He prayeth best who leaves unguessea

Why cheeks grow paly, why eyes Q i ~ nov, now,
or heads are white, thou need-s not Ai'VN

That every heart hath needs Ike thine.

The Way 10 Start a statesman.

Judge S. gave his son q thousand
dollars, telling him TO go to college
and graduate. The son returned at
the end Of the Freshman year with
out a dollar, and with several ugly
habits. About the close Of the vaea-
ton the Judge said:
"Well, William, are you going to
college this year ?i'
at have no money, father
"But 1 gave you a thousand dollars
to graduate on. -
SIPs all gone, father"
every well, my son, il was all that
1 could give you; you can't stay here:
you must now pay your own way IN
the world"
A new light broke in upon the vis-
ion of the astOnished young man. He
Accommodated himself to the situation;
left home, made his way to college,
graduated at the head Of his class,
Studied law, became Governor Of the
State Of New York, entered the Cabi-
net Of the President Of the United
States, and has made a record for him
self that will not soon die, being none
other than William II. Seward

head against, disputing every mans
opinion, fighting and elbOwing, and
crowding all who differ with him.

you more for turning your eoat ever eEeLy

costs the vacillating and irresolute
