THE PRAYER OF JESUS.

For Tbs Chicago Tribune
Prayed the Christ, when, pnic and dying,
On the cruel cross he hung;
When the telnplc-veil was rended.
And the night DER day was Hung;
Pierced His auguished bosom thro':
"Fathcr, Q forgive, forgive Them,
For they know not what they DOR
Mocking lips His woes derided--
Heads were bowed in scornfui pride;
Judas had betrayed hts Master
Peter thrice bis Lord denied:
Yet still prayed the Christ unce8sinR,
While His gaspiug breath He drew:
Father, q forgive. forgive them,
For they know not what they dol''
Omy suffering fellow-,nortals
On the cross OF earthly woes,
Be.rinR SCOTS, and scorns. and scourges,
Angry words and cruel blows,
Can yc pray as did the Jesus
When nu helping hand He knew:
Father. q forgive, forgive them,
For they know not what they do"2
Ye whose bruised and broken spirits
Sink hcneath continual strife
Ie, ali faint and worn With suffering
BY tho weary way Of life
Can you say for them that crush you,
"Father, . forgive, forgive thom.
For they know not what they do"2
Know ye not that all oppressors
Are themselves the most opprcssed-
Needing all our kind compassion
More, far more, thun all tho rest?
Ann, ir therefore. We should pray for them.
Fnther, Q forgive, forgive them,
For they know not what they dol"
Yes, nh yes! dear, blessed martyrs;
Let us lot the Angels see
How We learn from our Great Teacher
To extend our charity:

danger and excitement over, became
unconscious, and for weeks my life was

The Straight Of It.

An exchange says: We overheard
conversation between two little urchins
which for its intelligence We consider
good. One Of them, it appears, had
been engaged in mortal combat with
companion, and was relating how the
thing occurred. Said he:
''Tll tell you how it was. Yop zee,
me and Bill went down to Turner'S to-
bacco manufactory and 6shed Of that
old boat, but we didn't catch any; got
one bite and Bill told the to scratch, but

me to sleep mother, and said he was

measles, and said for him to fork over
that knife, and he said be couldn't see
that fork, and said I'd fix him for q
tombstone at Volks, and he said my
grandmother was no gentleman, and l
said he daren't take it up. but DO did,

they were the sole judges of the credibility
of the witness, and If they should find that
any witness had sworn differently upon
any other trial of the case, they might
consider that fact in making up their estl-
mate as to the weight to be given to his
evidence. The charge would have been
more accurate If the words AS to any
material matter" had been inserted, ana II
the words " inconsistency with, or In con-
tradiction of his former testimony" had
been used, instead of the words different
