My Prayer.

We can always lind room In our columns for
such beautiful lines az the following, rcpub.
lished from the Olympia Echo, at the author 5
request:-lED.
o, Lord
Let me not die before I've done for Thee
Some earthly work, whate'er that work may
be;
Call me not hence with mission unfulfllcd;
Let me not leave my space of ground untitled
Impress this truth upon me, that not one
Can do my portion that leave undonc;
For each one in Thy vineyard hath spot
To labor In, for life, and weary not.
Then give me strength all faithfully 70 toll,
Converting barren earth to fruitful soil.
| long tO be an instrument of Thine
10 gather woshipers unto Thy Shrine
To be the means some human soul to save
From the dark terrors ofa hopeless grave
Yet most want-in spirit Of content
TO work where'er thou'lt wish my labor
spent,
Whether ut home, or in n stranger cline
All uays VI JOY, OF sOrrOWs stcrntr time;
lwanta spirit--passive-to be still,
And by Thy power to do Thy holy will.
And when the prayer unto my lips doth rise,
Before new home doth my soul surprise.
"lfmy poor sphit e'er 'galnst Thine rebel,
AZ ifmv wisdom and not Thine were well. -
snbdue IL Lord may my petition be,
Let me accomplish some great work for Thee;
. make me useful in this world OF Thine,
In ways according to Thy will-not mine.
Grant my dear friends 'mong Thine to have
place,
Completely ansomed-seasoned by Thy grace
And may we deem our greatest work to be-
Living or dying-stillt to live to Thee

Miss Thurston, the young woman who
went "up in a balloon" from Oswego a
short time ago, nearly came to grief. 1t
seems that the valve had been tampcred
with before starting by some persons on
the ground. After ascending to an alti.
tude of more than a mile Miss Thurston
opened the valve and the balloon began
rapidly to descend, hut when she at
tempted to close it she found she could
not do 50. She threw out ballast, but
to no avail, and finally, when near the
earth, Prof Squires, proprietor Of the
balloon, set out to catch it, and after a
race of tour miles came up TO it, though
not till it had been caught by farmer,
who, in his attempt to stop it was un-
tremendously dragged over fences and
in the iveliest manner imaginable, but
with true grit he hung on, for, 'as he

that they were as good as the state
