fThc following poem is said to have been writer
by King James, l., though by some it is asorbe'
to Bishop Andrews;
IF any be distressed and iain would gather
Some comfort, let him haste unto
Our Father
For we of hope and help are quite beroavcn
Except Thou succor us
Who art in Heaven.
Thou showest mercy therefore for the same
We praise Thee singing,

or an oar pisoricE east up the sum
SNOW US Thy joys, and let
Thy kingdom come.
We mortal are and alter from our birth
Thou constant art,

Thou made'st the earth as well as planets seven
Thy namo be blessed here
As il is in heaven.
Nothing We have to US, or debts to pay
Except Thou give It Us,
Give us this day,

We want, but want no faults, Cor no day passes
But we do sin
Forgive us our trcspasses,
No man from shining ever free did live,
Forgive us, Lord, our sins

Into all truth, but
Not into temptation

Amen

the chief aside and whispered the

friendly manner by tomahawking
him and jabbing his butcher knife
into his vitals. Our friend remarked
that these ceremonies were not obscr-
we'd in his lodge; but the chief wanted
to show him all the pcculiariiies of

A Truthful Way Of Putting It,

There is hardly any one who has
not had melancholy occasion to know
that the home education of children is
a duty all but universally shirkcd in
this country. We delegate this, as
VIC delegate everything else, and trust
that boardng-sc schools, day schools and
Sunday schools will repair the mis-
chief occasioned by our negligence -
At a meeting this week Of the Boston
Sunday School Society, the Rev. Mr.
Trafton complained that "children arc
no longer brought up-thcy arc tum-
bled up; it is done by machinery

Now they are sent to Sunday School

The Three Lakes.

Once westward moving, stood suddenly
Upon the curve of clear lake, where no eye
Had faneied it, dropped in a hidden dell,
Embosomed in bright copses and dark pines,
And one low cottage on the swelling shore,
Its pleasing lines drawn clear against the sky,
A little rustic dwelling near the lake.
Glad in this new found wealth sought the way
Yet facing westward on the duslzy moor,
Where solitude was native to the air.
And in moment, further on, came,
Not dreaming of these waters in that place,
Upon the bank of a round mirror, framed
In the brown hills. There, stretched on the crisp
moss,
And more than joyous for the charming scene,
thanked good nature for the generous skill
By which she multiplied my happiness,
Made me three lakes, thrice to rejoice my eyes,
The careless eyes that slowly seek the good.
And as L unused, upon the yielding moss
A flashing beam of days last glory fell
In unexpected splendor, through the gloom,
Slanting across the silent, lonely hills,
Until the place seemed social in this fire.
Then rising, with love for the wild spot,
hastened westward, as the day grew faint,
And climbing low hill, stretched at my feet
A gray and dimpled lake lay in the shade;
A shapely basin rounded in soft curves,
Whose little lines of beach betray the waves,
That with lapEing murmur touch the sand,
And loftier shores with rain-swept grooves of SOIL
And pleasant headlands crested by green trees,
And longer reaches pictured with proud woods.
IT, E. ChGRHipg.

association formed for the purpose, effect
ed the restoration Of the forest, and maize
flourished again in the fields of Piazza
tore"
Similar ameliorations have been pro-
duced by plantations in Belgium. Baude
makes this statement: ga spectator placed
on the famous bell tower of the Cathedral
at Antwerp, saw, not long since, on the
opposite side of the Scheldt, only vast
desert plain; now he sees forest, the
limits of which are confounded with the
horizon. Let him enter within its shade.
The supposed forest is but system of
regular rows of trees, the oldest of which
is not forty years of age. These planta-
tions have ameliorated the climate, which
had doomed to sterility the soil where
they are planted. While the tempest is
violently agitating their tops, the air, a
little below, is still, and sands far more
barren than the plateau of La Hague,
have been transformed, under their pro-
lection, into fertile fields"

was on the tower of the cathedral of Ant
werp, which is claimed by the citizens to
be the highest in Europe. The view from

of which are Brussels, Ghent, Mechlip,

high-gabled Spanish houses of six, seven
and eight stories, with the gables to the
streets, built in the time of Charles V.
and his son Philip IL, from 1900 to 1856,
give an anomalous, grotesque and weird
like appearance. The Gothic architecture
of Antwerp is of great interest, though
not pure. Here is the bell given by
Charles v, of Spain, weighing 16 tons.
1t is of gold, silver and copper, and cost
100000 francs. 1t takes sixteen men to
put it in motion There are 40 bells, and
and as many as three or four hammers to
each bell and the Ginning is most musi-
cal. Tunes are played as on a piano.
Every five minutes there is music The
hammers are worked by the clock ma
chinery. On great occasion oratorios, ETC.,
are played as on an organ. In the oathe-
dral beneath are several of Ruben's great
paintings, among them the famous Descent
from the Cross, which is considered the
fourth great painting in the world.

/" when did You shave 20

In one of the towns of Arkanas, man
had been drinking until a late hour at
night When he started for home, honest
folks were in bed, and the houses were all
shut and dark. The liquor he had taken
was too much for him, and he did not
know where to go. He at last staggered
into an empty wagon-shed, and he fell
upon the ground. For long time he lay
in the unconsciousness of drunken sleep,
aud would have frozen for the snow on

himself been around him. This shed was
a favorite rendezvous of the hogs, that
rushed out when the new conner arrived,
but soon returned TO their bed. In the
utmost kindness, and with the truest
hospitality, they gave their biped COM
panion the middle of the bed, some lying
on either side of him, and others answer
ing the place of quilt. Their warmth
prevented him from being injured by the
exposure Toward morning he awoke.
Finding himself uncomfortable and IN
blissful ignorance of his whereabouts, he
supposed himself enjoying the accommo-
dations of tavern, in company with
other gentlemen. He reached out his
hand. and catching hold of the stiff brist-
les of hog, exclaimed Why, mister,
