THE FAITHFUL PRAYER.-"rwo families
lived in one house, and each had little boy
about the same age. These boys slept togetli-
er; one OF them said a prayer every night, and
repeated some good verses which his mother
had taught him; the other little boy had never
been taught to pray. Now the little boy who
pray ed was tempted not to, but ts jump into
bed without first kneeling down, just as his
little aymate did; but he was noble boy and
did not yield TO the temptation. He prayed
aloud every night, aud said his verses. Now
comes the best part OF the story,-the little boy
who had never been taught TO pray learned his
little companions prayer and the verses By
hearing him repeat them. He grew up to h
one of the best of men, and lived TO be DID,
The boy who prayed grew up to be noted mar
in Washington. When the other one lay o,
| his dying bed he went to see him, and the dyin
| old man told him that il was his little prayer
so faithfully said every night, which led him l.
| Christ. He repeated the PRAYER aud the verse;
!, word for word, and with his dying lips thanke
his friend that lie had been the means Of savin
| him.

The DIFFICULTIES OF PROSPECTIVE MATRI-
MoNY.-ls said that Sir Walter Campbell, who
was lately in a mercantile firm in Newa York,
wished to marry an American young lady, of
good position, in the Empire State. Upon his
applying to the young lady's father, the parent
stated that he always referred all those ones
tions 10 bis wife. The mother in her turn,
stated that she must refer it to the Duke OF
Argyll. The Duke pleaded that. considering
his connection with royalty, he must consult
his eldest son. Tho Marquis could do nothing
without the Queens consent. Her Majesty
felt that the issue must be referred to the Duke
Of Sake Cobourg- -Gotha, as head of the family.
The Duke rejoined that since the recent chan
ges in Germany, lie looked upon the Emperor
William as his sovereign, and must bow to his
advice. The Emperor said he could do nothing
without Prince Bismarck's opinion; and Prince
Bismarck declared he had no opinion at all
one way or the other; and so the question-to
marry or not to mairy-was brought to a
dead lock.

joicing in the darkest hour. Again the scan.
dals of readiness must be put on, the feet must
be shod with preparation. These were defen-

weapons, and hence the christian must be
armed with the sword of the spirit. The bible
furnished the very best weapons for offensive
and defensive warfare, hence the Importance

Mr.. Disraeli refased, few days ago, to re-

imprisoned Fenians, but be has since consented
to listen 10 the same request from seventy Irish
members of Parliament. The prisoners were
convicted nine years ago, and of late considera-
BILE sympathy for them has been manifested in
Ireland on account of the repeated refusals Of
the Gladstone ministry to set them at liberty
If the question were simply one of justice and
mercy, it could be readily deciled, but as for

them, 80 for political reasons Disraeli may

Weary, halt weary Of tre work of life,
The iust-begun aud never-ended strife,
o Son Of Mary;
Jesus OF Nazareth, the carpenter,
God given' twenty years agone, to her,
Jesus, the Lords Amounted. free from sin;
The Way, by which far-of heaven we win.
The Door, through which We all may enter in,
Christ, son Of Mary.
Our days, Thou knowest, are short and full of
Our cross, like Thine, too soon It's shadow
throws,
Tired son of Mary;
Our birth crowns that our mothers treasure up,
Are melted Oft into one bitter cup =
They drink, like Mary
Aud with dim, frightened eyes, they also see
The shadow OF some strange accursed Tree,
Where their dear sons gave up the ghost, like
Great Son of Mary.
o full of life, with all lfe's lawful joys
Calling upon Thee in mellifuous noise,
Fair Son of Mary;
Full Of mans strength to do God s whole be-
hest,
The noon-tide labor bringing evening rest,
Sweet son of Mary;
Yet through all this, love-wiser far than these,
The shadow of the Cross Thy mother secs
lu its uDfaihOmable mysteries
Heart-pierced Mary.
But Thou, with those Divine eyes, free from
fear,
Thou seest the rest remaining even here
To Thee-and Mary,
And all Gods people, all His children poor,
Whom Thou namest brother, knocking at their
dooI,
Blest Son of Mary;
And. by and by, Thy earthly travail done,
Death consummatiDg what Thy life begun,
Thou'it say "Come unto Me, each weary one
l an Son of Mary"
Son of God and yet the woman's seed,
Bruise Thou our serpent SINS even though we
bleed,
Like Thee and Mary.
Forgive, if we too, tired ere work be done,
Look forward longing to the set of sun,
Alone-no Mary:
And in the day of evil anguish-rife,
Remember us Through this our mortal strife
Lead us into Thine everlasting life,
Christ, Son of Mary.
