BEAUTIFUL PRAYER.-A poor Irish woman
asked wealthy lady, the owner of a beautiful
flower garden in Detroit, for flower or two TO
put on the coffin of her dead child The good
lady invited her to be seated, and very shortly
brought magnificent cross and wreath. The
afflicted one was overcome, aud as soon az she
was able to express herself, she said most fervent-
ly: "May cur blessed Redeemer meet you at
the gates of heaven with a crown of flowers
more beautiful than these"-a most touching
prayer, in which many will join the afflicted mo-
ther.- Wheeling Int.
THE LAST Cir Concert POSTPONED The an
noucement OF the 2os,ponement of the last gift
concert of the Public Library of Kentucky will
not surprise the public. In Governor Brametts
card published below, he gives reasons for it
which will be accepted without question by eve
ry one. The management in this instance, con-
sulting the in erests Of tcket-holders and those
designing TO become ticket-holders have not
waited until the last day TO make this annou nee
ment, butt just as soon as they become satisfied
of the necessity of this postponement, have
promptly made the announcement. It is unne-
cessary to review the causes which have necessi-
tatcd this action, as they fully recied in Co
vernon Bramletts card The promptness and
frankness with which the pu bile have been made
aware of the intention of the manager will meet
with The hearty commentator of every one and
excite such a new interest aud confidence in the
scheme and the ability of the manager to perform
what he pr omises that there can be no doubt
that on the day specified the last concert will be
full one.
Postponcment Last Gin Concert-A Card 10 The
Bubtic.-The anuou ncement of the postponem ent
Of the fifth and last concert Of the Public Libra
ry Of Kentucky To the 3Oth November, anu sat
ished, will surprise few and dsappoint none of
the friends and patrons of the enterprise In
deed, any other course would create dissatisiac-
ton. with precedent of a postpoDement Of
each of the four concerts which have already been
given, the public have very naturally and rea-
sonably expected that in this. by far the largest
scheme OF the series and the largest ever offered
10 the world, the same course would be followed
md there are thousands all over the country
who are only waiting for the setting Of n certain
bTed day for the drawing before sending in their
orders. The sales of tickets TO this date have
been highly satisfactory and a large drawing
might be had on the 3lst July, but, feeling as
sured that short postponement would enable us
to close out the remainder of the tickets Il make
the drawing a full one, we have adopted the
course which has evidently been anticipated, and
Whlch must eyentuate most satisfactorily for all.
Now that the day of the drawing is absolutely
al M urfl, on
for delay, and would urge the friends Of the
enterprise, who intend TO purchase tickets TO
send in their orders, az il will tax my Office TO
its utmost capacity to accomplish all that is to be
done IN the short time which remains for the sale
OF tickets. Tnos. L. BRAMLErTE, Agent and Man
ager.
