FAvoRs.-If you want to be happy,
never ask a favor..a Give. as many as you
can, and if any are freely offered, it is
not necessary to ebe- too proud to take
them; but never .asksfor or stand waiting
for any, Whoever asked favor at the
right time? To be refused lis a woful
stab to ones pride. 1t is even worse to
have a: favor granted hesitatingly. We
suppose. that out of hundred who
petition for the least thing, if be even
an hour of time-ninety-nine wish, with
burning cheeks. and aching hearts, that
they had not done so. Don't asks favors
of your nearest friends. Do everything
for yourself, until you drop, and then if
any one picks you. up, let it be because OF
his free choice, not from any groan. you
utter. But while you stand be soldier.
Eat your own crust rather than feast on
another's dainty meals; drink cold water
rather than another's wine. The world
lis full of people asking favors, and people
are tired of granting them. Love of ten
.derness should never be put aside, when
its full hands are stretched towards you;
but 80 few love, so few are tender, that a
favor asked is apt to be cruel milestone
around your neck, even if you gain the
thing you want by the asking. AS you
cast your bread on the water, and it re-
turns, so will the favor you ask, if unwill-
tingly granted, come back to you when
YOU least expect or desire. Favors con-
,ceded on solicitation are: never, repaid.
They are more costly in the end than an
over due insurers bill. fj.: :....o>

CURIOUS HISTORY OF A SrATE.-The
territory now known as the State of Wis
cousin was claimed by France on the
ground of discovery by it's missionaries
and teachers in 1880, who governed it
until they ceded it to great Britain. It
was held by the British nation until 1882,
when she ceded all her possessions north
east of the Ohio to the United States.
Wisconsin was then thrown under the
Territorial Government of Ohio by the
ordinance of 1887. On the 4th of July,
1900, the Indian Territory was organized,
and it was attached to that Territory until
April 18th, 1918, when Illinois became a
State. It was then attached 10 the Ter
ritory of Wisconsin, July 4, 1885; so
that Wisconsin was governed by the
King of France ninety.three years; the
King of Great Britain twenty years BY
the State of Virginia one year; by the
Territory of Ohio sixteen years, by the
Indian Territory nine years; BY Illinois
Territory nine years, and by Michigan
Territory eighteen years. She continued
"a Territory of the United States nearly
twelve years, when, on the 18th of
March, 1848, she became the thirtieth
State of the American Union.

keeping of men who, in their associations
have learned to undervalue all that be-

terrible Ashtabula catastrophe. He said,
indeed, that it was not fair to compare

How, It. Feels to be Drowning.

1 was crossing bridge over a wide but
shallow stream, in a lonely place, and ac'
cidentally fell off, When | say shallow,
mean for such wide body of water. /
saw nobody near me and could not swim
a stroke. I knew how deep the water
was, and gave myself up for lost. The
lquickness Of the senses when sudden
death seems impending has frequently
been noted, but still, without experience,
no one canrealizelsit. ;1tis as if ones
whole life were spread out-in 3 panorama
before him, every portion of which was
visible at once Every minute detail OF
things long forgotten and which when
they happened were, so trifing that they
apparently made no impression on the
memory, stand out in sharp and bold
outline. 1 remembered, for instance,
games of marbles played when 1, was q
boy, and g. futile attempt I once made to
trransmute "commoney" into white
alley" by roasting it in the fire. ] re.
membered how the marble bursted in the
operation, and how a piece oft struck
and cut the cheek of the boy who had be-
guiled me into the experiment, and. the
satisfaction I experienced at the retribu-
tive justice. 1t seemed as if everything
I had; ever done, suffered, or thought, was
presented to my memory at single flash.
Then / struck the water, when sound,
which I have since learned to liken to
the roar ofNiagara, burst on my ears and
stunned me with its overwhelming vol
ume. I remembered a brief instant of
struggling and clutching, and then a
sense of sinking-sinking-sinking
til had reached depth of thousands of
fathoms.- / neither suffered pain nor felt
alarmed, but had a vague feeling of being
irresistibly borne to some catastrophe, the
climax to which would be terrible.
Suddenly found myself possessed of the
power of floating or waiting myself along
BY mere violition. With delicious feel
ing of languid Incidence I suffered my
self to float about-not in the water, but
in the air-skimming over the surface of
the ground in whatever direction chose,
hither and thither, as wayward fancy
led. I was conscious that 1T was 8 new
power, and I exulted in its possession
and reasoned on its nature. found that
my body was as light as the air in which
it moved, and imagined that thistle
down would feel as I did, if possessed Of
consciousness. Then was in the water
again, and everything around me had a
roseate hue, which speedily changed to
green, then to violet, and finally to utter
darkness, and then all was blank.
AS l subsequently learned, some men
in a skiff half mile away had seen me
fall into the water and hurried to my as
sistance, but l had disappeared long be-
fore they reached the spot. Many min.
utes elapsed before they found me, and
full half an hour afterward before the
physicians, who had been summoned,
arrived. They pronounced me dead, and
that they made any attempt to resuscitate
me was due solely to the persistence ofan
intimate friend Of mine who had accom-
panied them.

The FIRST PRAYER IN CONGRESS-
In Thatcher's Military Journal, under
date of December, 1777, is found 3 note
containing the identical first prayer in
Congress, made by the Rev. Jacob Duche,
a gentleman of, great eloquence. Here
it IS, an historical curiosity: =,
30, Lord, our Heavenly Father, high
and mighty Kingrof: kings, and Lord OF
lords, who dost from thy throne behold
all the dwellers on earth, and reignest
with power supreme and uncontrolled
over all the Kingdoms, empires, and gov
ernments, looh down in mercy, We be-
seech Thee, on these American States,
who have fed to Thee from the rod of
oppression, and thrown themselves on
Thy gracious protection, desiring to be
henceforth dependent only on Thee, they
have appealed for the righteousness OF
their cause; to Thee do they look up for
that countenance and support which
Thou alone can'st give; take them, there
fore, Heavenly Father, under Thy nur-
turing care; give them wisdom in coun-
Gil, and valor in the field; defeat the
malicious designs of our cruel adversa-
ries; convince them of the unrighteous.
ness of their cause; and if they still
persist in their sanguinary purpose. .,
let the yo .ce of Thine own unerring JUS
tice, sounding in their hearts, constrain
them to drop the weapons of war from
their unnerved hands in the day of battle !!
Be Thou present, o God of wisdom, and
direct the councils of this ;bt 'orable as
semble; enable them to settle things on
the best and surest foundation, that the
scene of blood may speedily close, that
order, harmony and peace may be etfec-
tually restored, and truth and justice, re-
ligion and piety, prevail and flourish
among Thy people. Preserve the health
of their bodies and the vigor Of their
minds; shower down on them, and the
millions they here represent, such tenn
poral blessings as Thou seest .expedient
for them in this. world, and crown them
with everlasting glory in the world 70
come. We ask all these things in the
name and through the merits of Jesus
Christ, Thy Son, our Saviour. Amen.

WIEN AND How TO EAT FRu1r..

WHEN AND How TO EAT eFRUIT.-
When fruit does harm it is because it is
eaten at improper times, in improper
quantities, or before it is ripened and fit
for the human stomach. A distinguished
physician has said that if his patients
would make q practice Of eating 2 couple
of good oranges before breakfast, from
February to June, his practice would be
gone. The principle evil is that we do
not eat enough of fruit; that we injure
it's finer qualities with sugar; that We
drown them in cream. =. We need the
medical action of the pure fruit acids in
our system, and their cooling, corrective
influence Journal.
