FINE PRAYERs.-Prayers need not be fine.
believe God abhors fine prayrs. If person
asks charity of you In else ant sentences he is
not likely TO get it. Finery in dress or language
IS out OF place in beggars. l heard man in
the street the other day begging aloud by
means of magnificent oration. He used grand
language in very pompous style, and l dare say
he thought he was sure ofgetting piles OF cop
pers by his borrowed speech, but l, for one,
gave him nothing, but felt more inclined to
laugh at his bombast. Is It not likely that
many great prayers are about as useless? Many
prayer-meetings' prayers are q great deal too
fine. Keep your figures and metaphors and
parabolic expressions for your fellow-creatures
use them to those who want to be instructed,
but do not parade them before God. When we
pray the simpler our prayers are, the better; the
painest the humblest language which expresses
| our meaning is best.-Sp,irgeon.

ScHEERERs LITTLE JoKE.-There is an
anecdote of Gotlieb Scheerer, who twelve years
ago, was an active Philadelphia politician, and
Vice-President Dallas, which is here first given
In print. Some thirty years ago Mr.. Dallas wa
counsel in case in Philadelphia and Mr. Scheer
eriwas called in as witness. Tie following
questions were put by Mr.. Dallas: "Mr. Shee-
rer, were you in Harrisburg last June?"
LAST June, did you say, Mr.. Dallas?' Eyes,
last June; don't you repeat my question but
answer it." After some moments of study the
answer came; "No, Mr.. Dallas, was not in
Harrisburg last june" "Were you in Harris
burg last Julyp" He reflected again and slowly
said, "No, Mr.. Dallas, 1 was not In Harris
burg in July" "Were you there in August,
Mr.. Scheerer?" The witness again meditated
and said, "No, Mr.. Dallas. was not there
In August" "Were you there in Septem-
ber?"
Here Mr.. Scheerer reflected longer than be-
fore, and replied, "No. Mr.. Dallas, was not
In Harrisburg in September. Mr.. Dallas be-
came tired Of this barren result, and raising his
voice, said; "Mr. Scheerer will you tell the
court when you were in Harrisburg" Mr..
Dallas, )" said Scheerer, II never was in IIar-
risburg In my life." The court, the audisnce
and Gotleib Scheerer enjoyed the joke, bud Mr..
Dallas did not heartily partake of the mer,iment
created.

FAITH AND WoRKs.-Two gentlemen were
one day crossing the river in ferry boat. A
dispute about faith and works arose; one say
ing that good works were of small Importance,
and that faith was everything the other as
serting to the contrary. Not being able to con-
vince each other, the ferrJman, an enlightened
Christian, asked permission to give his opinion.
Consent being granted, he said-"I have in my
hands two oars. That in my right hand call
faith; tho other, in my left works. Now, gem
uemen, please to observe, pull the oar of faith,
and pull that alone. See the boat goes round,
and round, and the boat makes no progress
10 the same with the oar of works, and with
precisely similar result-no advance. Mark
pull both together; we so on apace, and in O
very few minutes we shall be at landing-place
In my humble opinion he added "faith without
wJrks,or works without faith will ntt suffice. lie
there be both, and the haven of eternal rest i.
sure 10 be reached. bishop Whateiy.

No SERVICE Too SMALL.-No form of holy
service is TO be lightly set by. To unloose the
latehets OF Christ's shoes might seem very tri-
vial; 1t might even seem as if it involved the
loss Of self respect, for man of position and in
huence to stcop to offices which servant might
quite as well perform. Why should bring
myself down TO that? l will learn of Christ |;
will distribute bread among the multitude for
Christ; will have my boat by the sea-shore
ready for Christ to preach in, or L will go and
fetch the ass upon which he shall ride in tri-
umph into Jerusalem; but what need can there
be for the disciple to become a mere menia?-
Such question as that is here forever silenced,
and the spirit which dictates il is practically re-
buked Nothing is dishonorable by which Je-
sus may be honored. Nothing lowers a man,
ifthereby he honors his Lord. 1t Is not posi-
BILE for any gody work to be beneath our dig
nifty; rather ought we TO know that the lowest
grade of service bestows dignity upon the man
who heartily performs it. Even the least and
most obscure form of serving Christ is more
high and lofty than We are worthy to under
take.-SpurgeOH,
Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1873-09-15

CRAB-TRER CHRIsTIANs.-lf there Is one
virtue which most commends Christians, it is
that Of kindness; 1t Is to love the people of God,
TO love the church, to love the world, to love
all. But how many have we In our churches of
crabtree Christians, who have mixed such a
vast amount Of vinegar, and such tremendous
quantity Of gall, in their Constitutions that they
can scarcely speak one good word to you. They
imagine it impossible to defend religion except
by passionate ebulltions; they cannot speak
for their dishonered Master without being an
CRY with their opponent ; and If anything is
awry, whether 1t bs In the house, the church, or
anywhere else, they conceive 1t to be their duty
to SGT their faces like flint, and to defy every
body. They are like insulated icebergs no one
cares to go near them. Thoy float about on
tho sea of forgetfulness, until at last they
are melted aud gone and though, good souls,
We shall be happy enough to meet them in
heaven, we are precious glad to get rid Of them
on earth. Be ye not thus. Initiate Chit in
your loving spirit; speak kindly, act kindly, ,and
do kindly, that men may say Of you, "He has
been with Jesus"

A SOUTHERN TRAGKDY.-rhc Opelousas
Ga.) Journal, Of the 10Th, is responsible for
the following: "Down In the parish of st.
Martin an old widow lady, whose children had

she was TO give possession, but she remained in
the house the night following the sale, all alone
or with no masculine adult inmates, as was her
custom. That night two negro burglars enter
ed tho house and demanded her money or her
life. She gave It to them, but begged them to
let her have 500 Of 1t, as she owed hat amount
and wanted to pay the debt, and she would be

keep the 500. They then ordered her to make
some coffee for them TO drink. In doing so she

SMYRNA, which Is seldom without its "sensa.
ton" (" has Just been much excited by myster-
ious tragedy. On the evening Of Sunday, the
9th Of July, small native craft came dashing
up against the Cerigo quay in manner which
led TO the belief that she had been abandoned.
On boarding the craft, the dead body of
an elderly man, supposed to be the captain,
was found lying on the deck, disfgured by
wounds. Near the body was = blood-stained
hammer. A little boy, about ten years old, lay
wrapped in q sail close by. lie was uuinjured,
but apparently stupefed, and nothing intelligi-
bic could be extracted from him. The craft
was partly loaded with cargo Of lemons, but
no papers could be discovered. The Same ev-
ening another body was picked up at sea, fear
fully mutilated. Smyrnese society was lost in
coDjectures respecting these strange events,
when on Wednesday morning, the 30th of July,
Russian monk appeared at the Russian con-
sulate, and told the following story. He had,
he said, embarked at Scio for Smyrna in COM
pany with Persian, on board a coasting tchir-
mix, manned by two men and o little boy. The
monk, who Is master Of six languages, over

OF o large sum Of gold and some bank notes
which he had about him. The captain agreed,

told the captain that as 1t was so hot he would
sleep on deck. asleep In peace" replied the
skipper, 81 will take care and wake you, when
we got to Smyrna" Some minutes later the
captain himself nodded off in into half sleep
and the vessel not being far from the coast, the
monk slippsd over the side and swan ashore. -
He landed a. Ayou-Georgia Tiflik, whence he
made his way to Smyrna. The police, having
made inquiries, found that the Persian had
arrived at Agah-Khan on the Sunday. They
arrested him, and not only has he been identi
fed by the monk. but the stolen money of thu
latter was found in his possession. He ha!
since confessed that after indulgng in "forty

A PITAY SERMoN.--Many sermon has been
spun out to an hours length that did not con.
tain 1.-THE of the sound, moral instruction
and counsel 20 be found In the following brief
and pithy sermon from the pen of that witty
and racy writer, Rev. DR.. John Todd, recently
deceased:
"You are the architects of your own fortunes
Rely upon your strength Of body and soul; take
for your motto self-rellance, honesty and indus
try for your stars, faith, perseverance and
pluck and inscribe on your banner sBe just
and fear not.' Don't take too much advice !;
stay al the helm and steer your ship. Strike
out. Think well OF yourselves. Fire above
the mark you intend TO hit. Assume your po-
sition. Don't practice excessive humility. You
can't get above your evel-water don't run up
hill. Put potatoes 10 a cart over a rough road
and the small ones will go to the bottom. Eli
ergy. invncible determination, with the right
motive, are the levers that move the world. The
great art of commanding is to take fair share
ofthe world. Civility costs nothing and buys
everything. Don't drink; don't smoke don't
swear; don't gamble don't lie don't deceive
or steal; don't tattle. Be polite !; be generous /;
be self-reliant. Read good books. Love your
fellow-man as well as you love God. Love your
country and obey its laws. Love truth. Love
homer. Always do what your conscience tells
Is your duty, and leave the consequence to
God"

EDUCATION IN iNDIANA.-,rhe Indiana po
lis Journal speaks eneouragingly Of school
prospects in Indiana. 1t says: Educational
interests In this State were never In SO goodIa
condition as at the present time. The new law
creating the Office of County Superintendent,
and establishing County Boards Of Education
has given a new impetus to school interests, and
the friends of etucation are expecting great
good to result from these provisions. And the
County Superintendents themselves have gone
to work with will. They seem to feel that
not only they, but the new law through them,
is on trial, and they are quite right. The Coun-
ty Institutes which are now being held all over
the State are generally better attended than ever
before. This indicates a lively interest among
the teschers. These County Institutes have
done more to advance the cause Of education in
this State than perhaps any one other instru-
mentality. The length of the public school
term in the country will be greater the coming
year than ever before, aud the prospect Is that
within very few years the average length will
not be less than six months"
