NOW I LAY NE DOWN TO SLEEP.

1t is said of the late John Quincy Adams thai
he never went to bed without repeating this little
prayer,-the first taught him by his mother,
whose memory WAS dear to him to the last
Ihere are two little poems. descriptive of child
saying this prayer. that are among the tenderest
IN our language. We give here combined the best
OF both:
Golden head SO lowly bending,
Little feet so white and bare,
DeWy eyes. half shnt, half opened,
Llsplng out her evening prayer.
Lay me, - lisped the tiny lips
or my daughter, kneellng. bending
O'er the folded finger tips.
"Down to sleep. ITO sleep, {" she murmared
And the curly head bent low;
81 pray the Lord, - gently added,
"You can say 1t all, 1 know"
pray the Lord, 1.-THE sound came family,
Fainter still MY soul to keep;''
Then the tired head fairly nodded,
And the child " as fast asleep.
But the dewy eyes half opened
When clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice softly whispered,
Mamma, God knows all the rest.''
Oh, the trusting, sweet confding
or the child-heart! Would that
Thus might trust my Heavenly Father,
de who hears my feeblest cry.
o, the rapture, sweet, unbroken,
VI the ssul who wrote that prayer!
Chlldren,s myriad voices floating
Up to Heaven, record it there.
II. of all that has been written,
could choose what might be mine,
1t should be that child's petition,
Rising to the throne divine.

the ATHEIST.
BY WILLIAM KNOX

The fool has said 'tThere is no God -
No God who lights the morning sun,
And sends him on his heavenly road,
And far and brilliant course TO runP
Who, when the radiant day is done,
Hangs forth the moon q nocturnal lamp,
And bids the planets, one by one,
Steal o'er the night wales, dark and damp?
No GOd!-Who gives the evening dew,
The tanning breeze, the fostering shower;
Who warns the spring-morn' . budding bOug
And plants the summers n0Ontide nowel
Who spreads in the autumnal bower
The fruit trees mellow stores around,
And sends the winters icy power,
10 inVigOrate the exhausted ground,
No God!-Who makes the bird to wing
Its flight like arrow through the sky,
And gives the deer Its power to spring
From rock to rock triumphantly?
Who formed BehemOth. huge and high,
That at drought the river drains.
And great Levlsthan to lie,
Like nosting Isle, on ocean plains?
No God!-Who warns the heart to heave
With thousand feelings soft and sweet,
And prompts the aspiring soul to leave
The earth We tired beneath our feet,
And soar away on pinions neet
Beyond the scenes of mortal strife,
With fair ethereal forms to meet
That tell US OF the after life?
No God!-Who fixed the solid ground
or pillurs strong, that alter not?
Who spread the curtained skies around
Who doth the ocean bounds allot?
Who all things 10 perfection brought
On earth below. in heaven above
Go ask the fool, Of impious thought,
Who dares to say, "There is no G0d!''

Those spunky democrats who have
sworn to not vote for Tilden because he
did not take his office by force, in spite
OF congress and the army, will now
have chance to vote for a military
man, and one who will defend his
rights as lsns as he can find a man TO
back him. Will these same demo-
Gratis vote tor Hancock, or are thew
afraid they will be called upon to stand
up to some OF the loud boasts they have
50 freely made

IT'S WELL WE CANNOT SEE the END

When another life is added
To the heaving, turbid mass;
When another breuth Of being
Stains creations tarnlshed glass
When the hrst cry, weak and piteoas,
Heralds long enduring pain.
And u soul from non-eXistence
Springs, that meier can die again;
When the mothers passionate " elcome,
Sorrow. like, bursts forth in tears,
And q sirs's self-gratulation
Prophesies of future years
It Is well We cannot see
What the end will be.
When the boy. upon the threshold
OF his all-comprising home,
Puts aside the arm maternal
That unlocks him ere he roam;
When the canvas of his vessel
Flutters to the favoring gale,-
Years of solitary exile
Hid behind the sunny sail,-
When his pulses beat with ardor,
And his sInews stretch for toll,
And hundred bold emprises
Lure him to that eastern SOIL
1t is well We cannot see
What the end shall be.
When the altar of religion
Greets the expectant bridal pair,
And the VOW that lasts till dying
Vibrates on the sacred air;
When mans lavish protestations
Doubts Of after change defy,
Comforting the frazier spirit
Bound his servitor for ave;
When beneath loves silver moon beams
Many rocks in shadow sleep
Undiscovered, till possession
Shows the danger OF the deep
1t Is well We cannot see
What the end shall be-
Whatsoever is beginning,
That is wrought by human skill;
Every daring emanation
OF the minds ambitious will:
Every fret impulse Of passion,
Gush Of love or twinge of hate;
Every launch upOn the waters
Wide-hOrIzOned by our fate;
Every venture in the chances
Ot iife's sad, oft desperate game.
Whatsoever be our motive,
WhatsOever be our aim
1t Is well We cannot see
What the end shall be.
