An Earnest PRAYER.

A school teacher in Mississippi made
a verbatim report of negro clergyman's
prayer, and he sends it to the Educational
Monthly as follows: go Lord God of
dis glorious universe, wilt dou look
down in de omnipresence of dy eye upon
desc dy collard children bowed upon de
knuckle-bone dis night. Take solemn
peep upon us and let heap O. light in.
Dou knowest what desc dy poor darkies
need. On every side dou knowst, o
Lord, is de evidence of de dislocation
and destruction of the human family.
Dere be fighting among one another and
natural disease. But we die to live
again either as saints or evil spirits.
Dere be discussions on doctrines, cleo
shion, Decentralization, perfection, and
SIGH like, confuse de intellects of both
black men and white. But, good Lord,
dou knowest dat desc are vain illusions,
splittin' and dividin' dy creatures into
sexes without mercy. Whoever will,
can go to glory. Many there will be
with slick countenances, white collars
and fine clothes, who will find de gates
shut against them, while the blind old
woman, hobbling ON crutches, she go
straight in. Amen"

The SWjndling Schemes,

Fully three thousand dollars have
been stopped at the New York post
office in money orders, registered and
other letters, in single day, the amount
being sent from all sections of the coun-
try in answer to fraudulent advertise
ments. These advertisements are of the
class known as "saw DUST" bogus
"sewing Machines" etc. 1t seems
singular that people will send their
money in answer to these frauds, but
that they do so is evident. AS soon as
the Post-office department learns that
letters are in answer to fraudulent adj
vertisements these letters are stopped,
go to the dead letter Office, and in time
the money finds it's way back to the
sender. Thousands of letters are de-
livered before this knowledge is gained
at the post-oflice. The best thing man
can do is to set down as fraud every
offer made to give him ten dollars for
one dollar, and he will be safe,

A Word I'm Season.

Health is a blessing which compare
lively few enjoy in all it's fullness. Those
endowed by nature with robust frames
and vigorous constitutions should be
careful not to trife with them. When
we enter the seasons of periodic fevers,
the increased heat of the sun develops
miasma which pervades the air. The
evil is inextinguishable; our duty to
guard against it is imperative Fortu-
nately for those whose lot is cast in low
marshy districts or new clearings, ma
ture provides cure and preventive.

of health, so as to fortify the system
against the assault of summer disease,
and thus secure by their life-giving,

virtues, a defense against atmospheric
poison.

Overlooking Ministers.

Christian at Work has an article on
overlooking ministers that reads as fol-
lows: What is more delicious for q
minister than to accept an invitation to
parishioner's house, and sit an hour or
two in the evening at the table with a
collection of pleasant people9 But that
is what kills ministers. Hot wafles,
fresh biscuit, oysters, and cold tongue
at seven o'clock in the evening have
given many a "man of God dyspepsia,
dull brain, poor sermons, short pastor
ate, and an early decease. Rich and
late suppers are doing bad work for
some of our best clergymen. We know
OF ministerial clubs where the members
assemble Saturday afternoon to discuss
religious topics, tarrying until evening,
when q sumptuous table is provided for
them. AS consequence they do not
sleep well on Saturday night, and the
congregation on Sabbath see what they
suppose is heavenly pallor on their pas
tors cheek, when his wife knows it was
hot biscuit at tea the evening before
that did the business. If you invite
your minister out to eat, better have him
at noon or thereabouts or, if calling
him to tea, then let it be in the early
part of the week, giving him time to get
over his gustatory indulgences. The
most of ministers have powerful appe.
tite for good food, and capacity to resist
temptation in that direction isnot one Of
their strong points.

A Love Story.

Some people who write books, says
81. Nicholas, never marry. It's pity,
because those who write books are such
good folks. Jacob and William Grimm,
who wrote the fairy stories, were
bachelors. They always lived together
and worked together and wrote in n
wonderfully contented way before either
had wife or children. At last, they
thought it best that one of them should
marry. Neither wanted a wife bit
which should it bel
After long waiting, Jacob, the elder
brother, concluded to be generous and
self-forgetful, and relieve William of
his share in the difficulty by taking the
burden of a wife upon himself. So he
selected a handsome young lady, but
here he hesitated again and delayed, for
he did not like to do the counting.
William thought he would encourage
him little by going to see the young
lady himself. He found her SO hand
some and engaging that he Immediately
fell in love with her, and to his surprise
found counting the most agreeable
thing in the world. But the lady was
Jacobs by selection-now what was to
be done? Here was trouble again.
An old aunt went to Jacob, very
kindly, and said:
civilian is in love-he cannot wrong
you-what shall he dol"
"This is the most joyful tidings ever
had, said Jacob. "Let him have her
let him have her I" And he packed
his trunk and started off for the Hartz
mountains.
William married, and Jacob came to
live with him. In time he loved Will
liam's wife and little children very much.
One of these children became noble
and useful man. And the two brothers
grew old together, and when they were
not writing books of great learning they
did that other thing they wrote fairy
stories for little children.
This story of bachelor Jacob Grimm
reminds us, though we hardly know
why, of the crusty old bachelor who
made will leaving his entire fortune to
be divided among the girls who had re-
fused him. "For to.them," he added,
feelingly, 81 owe all my earthly
happiness.

Chewing Orders.

To illustrate the eccentricity of James
Lick, the California millionaire, it is
said that he hired two men to work for
him and set them to work planting cab
bages, directing them to put the plants
tops down, roots up. One of the men
obeyed the order strictly. The other
Thought it a mistake and put the plants
in the soil just as any sensible person
would do. By-and-bye the employer
came along. Seeing the work of the lat
ter, he inquired: "Who did that?" 81
did" said the man, confidently. "You
cannot work for me any longer, sir, "
was the reply, with summary dismissal.

The Baptism of the Bulls.

The opening of bridge at Aries, re-
marks the Pail Mall Gazette, has been
the occasion of an extraordinary popular
diversion, known as the Baptism of
the Bulls" Near the town is an i'm
mense plain called the Camargue, where
multitudes of cattle usually Craze in
peace. During great public festivals,
however, a large amphitheater is formed
of carts and hurdles, which serve to de-
fine the half-circle. A straight line is
then drawn with a pillow between the ex-
tremities of the curve, and this open
space is toward the Camargue. A num-
Der of bulls are then driven into the
arena so formed. They instantly en-
deavor to leave it and return to their
pasture, but they are stopped by body
of horsemen armed with tridents. A few,
however, manage to break through the
line, and then comes the real excitement
of the day. The plow-mark is guarded
by men on foot, who meet the fugitive
bulls, seize them by the horns, throw
them down, and apply the branding
iron to each from among those bearing
the names Of the cattle owners of the
Camargue. AS, however, branding the
bull is considered great honor, the
handsomest spectatress of the sports is
led forward to give the unfortunate ami
NAL his fiery baptism" Such is the
scene with which the opening of the
bridge of Aries was celebrated the other
day. The men liked it, the women liked
it, and it is to be hoped that the bulls
liked it, too.

WAS THERE.-On the Sunday follow
ing his capture of Ticonderoga, Allen
attended divine worship in the little
meeting house at Bennington. The
clergyman, who was as deyout as he was
loyal, took occasion, during tho long
prayer that preceded the sermon, to
give all the glory of the exploit to the
God of battles. Aliens notion of the
share which Providence had in the
matter did not exactly agree with his
pastors. He held his peace for some
time, but finally, overcome by passion
ate impulse, arose in his seat and cried
out: "Parson Dewey Please men
ton the fact that Ethan Allep was
there"
