SENDING PRAYERS IN A CART.-The Gel
ebrated London preacher, Sturgeon, tells
the following story: A poor man who had
a very large family gave them very com
Portable support while he was in health.
He broke his leg, and was laid up for some
weeks. AS he would be for some time des-
titue of the means of grace, it was pro
posed to hold prayer meeting at his house
The meeting was led by Deacon Brown.
A loud knock at the door interrupted the
service. A tall, lank, blue frocked young
ster stood at the door, with an OK goad in
his hand, and asked to see Deacon Brown.
Father could not attend this meeting,'
he said "5ut he sent his prayers, and they
are out in the cart" They were brought
in, in the shape of potatoes, beef, pork and
corn. The meeting broke up without the
benedction. Nor did the Door fellow
suffer during his whole confinement. The
substantial prayers of the donors became
means of grace.

That Willie gave me years ago,
The time We parted on the rocks:
His ship lay swinging to and fro
At waiting in the lower bay.
| thought my heart would break, that day
The picture with the pensive eyes
Is Willie's? No DEAR that S young Blake
Who took the West Point highest prize:
He went half crazy for my sake.
Here are lot of rhymes he wrote,
And here's a button off his coat.
Is this his ring? My dearest May,
| never took a ring from him.
This was gift from Howard Clay.
Just see. the pearls are getting dim.
They say that pears are tears-what stuff
The setting looks little rough.
He was as handsome as prince
And jealous. But he went to Rome
Last Fall. He's never written since.
| used to visit at his home
A lovely place beyond Fort Lee:
His mother thought the world of me!
Oh no, | sent Ais letters back.
These came to me from Washington.
But look, what tremendous pack!
He always wrote me three for one.
| know used to treat him ILL.,
Poor Jack!-he fell at Charlottesville.
The vignettes-all that lot-are scalps

At Paris, and among the Alps:
Those foreign lovers act like geese.
But, dear. they are such handsome men.
We 60 to France, next year, again.
This is the doctors signet ring.
These faded flowers? Oh. let me see:
Why, what a very curious tn ing,
Who could have sent these flowers to me.

His hair was ed.-Gou need not look
So sadly at that raven tress.
You know the head thatlock forsonk:
You know,-but you could never guess.
Nor would tell you for the world
About whose brow that ringlet curled.
Why won't tell > Well, partly, child,
Because you like the man yourself:
But most. because-dou't get SO wild,

He's not bygone. In year.
I'll tell you all about him, dear.

BEEN TO THE CENTENNIAL.

A Cincinnati paper tells the following
story of one of those who are always itch
ing to be named in the papers:
"A bashful-appearing man stepped into
the Enquirer editorial room, and edging up
to the table, hat in hand, said in hesitat-
ing way:

"Wel my name is Smith, John Smith,
and I've just got home"
"Gad to see you back; been gone longa'

of pride, 'to the Centennial, and if you
want to make notice.
"Whato You've been to the Centen-
NAL? And you have got back ? Give us
your hand. Spear, let me introduce yon
to John Smith. John has been to the Cen
tennial'
Spear shook hands warmly with Smith,
and then ran to the reporters room and
shouted:
'Shaunnessey; come, quick; here's a
man that's been to the Centennial.'
O'Shaunnessey bounded in, followed by
his assistants, all of whom embraced the
bewidered Smith, and expressed the graft
