AN IDYL OF THE PERIoD-INrwo PARTS.
From the New York MALL


L.
Come right in, How are You FredP
Find chair, and have a light
"Well, old boy, recovered vet
Iron, from the Mathers, jam last night?"
Didn't dance, the Germans old"
Didn't you? had to lead
Awful bore but where ,cers you?n
Sat IT out with Molly Meade;
Jolly little girl she is
Said she didn't care to dance.
ID rather have quiet chat
Then she gave me such glance.
SO when you had cleared the room,
And had captured all the chairs,
Having nowhere else, we two
Took possession Of the stairs.
was on a lower step;
Molly, on the next above,
Gave me her bouquet to hold
Asked me to draw of her glove.
Then, of course, squeezed her hand,
Talked about my wasted life,
Said my sole salvation must
BE true and gentle wife.
Then, you know, L used my ewes
She believed me every word;
Almost said she loved me-Jove!
Such a voice L never heard
Gave me some symbolic flower,
Had a meaning, oh. so sweet
Don't know what 1t Is, I'm sure,
Must nave dropped it in the street.
How 7 spooned! and she-ha !-ha!
Well, know il wasn't right,
But she did believe Inc SO,
That kissed her-pass light"
''Molly Meade, we'll declared
Who'd have thought of seeing you,
After what occurred last night,
ont here on the Avenue.
Oh you awful, awful girl,
There-dont blush-I saw it ALL"
"Saw all what ?'-"Ahem-last night
At the Mathers', in the hail."
"Oh! you horrid-where were you?
Wasn't he an awful goose?
Most men must be caught, but he
Ran his neck right in the moose.
L was almost dead to dance,
I'd have done it il / could;
But old Gray said / must stop,
And I'D promised Ma would:
So looked up, sweet, and said
That I'd rather talk with him.
Hope he didn't see my face,
Luckily the lights were dim;
Then how he did squeese my hand
And bed look up in my face
With his lovely. great big eyes
Really it's dreadful case.
He was all in earnest too,
But thought I'd have to laugh
When he kissed a flower l gave,
Looking-ohi like such calf.
suppose he has 1t now,
In a wine glass on his shelves;
It's mystery to me,
Why men trI deceive themselves.
Saw him kiss me, Oh, you wretch
Well, he begged so hard for one,
And thought there'd no one know,
Solicit him-just for fun.
i know il wasn't really right
To trifle with his feelings, dear;
But men are such conceited things,
They need a lesson once a year.

MATTHEW VI: 13.-Having noticed
the different renderings of word in
the Lords Prayer, as below mentioned,
we asked Rev. d. f. Bonner, of this
place, to tell us something about the
original. He kindly furnishes the
following:
A study of the original of the New
Testament is always interesting and
instructive. 1t is SO in this case. There
are two ways of reaching the meaning
of the word here rendered debt"
The first is by the Lexicon. This gives
these meanings: property; what one
has lent; debt; what is justly due;
from the Chaldee, delinquency, Of
Tense, fault, SIM" In other words,
the word properly means debts; but in
the Chaldaic dialect, which was in
common use in our Savior's time, it
meant sin. Still, it was sin as consist
ing in Withholding from God His due.
The second is, the parallels. Ofthese
we will notice but two: verse IA, and
Luke IL: 4. In these, the terms in
both the original and the translation
are different, although they refer to
the same thing. In verse IA the orig
inal corresponds very nearly to our
expression "fall out" as "a. had a
fall out with B. today" In Luke II:
the word means violation of law,
either by breaking the law or falling
to keep it.
The general meaning of all the
words, then, is sin; but each term sug-
gests specific conception of what
constitutes sin. In Matthew 6: Is, it
is sin as consisting in Withholding
from God His due; in verse IA, as con-
sisting in conduct which forteits His
favor and fellowship; in Luke II: 4, as
consisting in violation of the law God
has given us.
The word "as" expresses neither the
measure nor the ground of our forgive
ness. 1t has reference to the principle
of forgiveness which we possess.
cannot better give the meaning Of the
whole petition than the Westminster
Assembly have done in their Shorter
Catechism:"In the fifth petition we
pray that God, for Christ's sake, would
freely pardon all our sins; which we
are the rather encouraged to ask, be-
cause by His grace we are enabled
from the heart to forgive others"

The Superintendent Of the Institu-
ton, Mr.. Knapp, states that COM
plete report of the number of blind in
the State of Iowa would doubtless
show that there are about 600, OF
whom at least 125 should be pupils OF
the Institution; and he believes that
all that prevents their coming there is
the lack of information in regard to
the Institution.
The pamphlet Report, containing
full information, is on file at our Office,
