a story is told of certain nobleman
of Alexandra, who complained bitterly
to the bishop of that city of his enemies.
While in the midst of his tale the bell
sounded for prayers, aud bishop and
nob!eman dropped TO their knees, fer
mer leading in the Lords Prayer, and
the latter leaving for the time his story
untold. When the bishop came to the
petition, "Forgive MS our trespasses," !"
he stopped suddenly, leaving the other
to 90 on alone. The nobleman attempt
ed to continue, but, startled by the
sound OF his own unaccompanied voice,
and recalled by his companions silence
to the significance of the petition, stam-
mered, ceased praying, aud rose from
his knees, a hopeless man--until he
atterward found hope in better di-po-
sition toward his neichbor. It is an
easy thing to say; "Fofgire Us our
trespasses," by rote it is difficult,
sometimes, to say it unders,amdirgly.
II We stop at this petition when we are
repeating the Lords Pr5yer until we
have taken in tie idea of it, how map7

Almost every city and town lays
claim to the meanest man, but we be-
lievs that about the smallest specimen
OF a mean man resides in Newburyport,
Mass. a few days ago he called at a
hardware store and represented that he
was troubled with mouse in his PAN
try at home, at the same time asking
the e'erk for the loan of a rnonse.lrap to
catcE the anifnaf. The clerk replied
that was hardly the way business was
done at that establishment, but inforn-
ed the gentleman who was being i'm
poverished by the mouse that a good
trap could be purchased for 20 cents
After some dickering, tie bargain was
concluded A few days afterward how
ever, in walked the owner of the trap
with the information that he had been
successful in catching the mouse, and
that the article would be of no further
use to him. This was followed by a
request that the storekeeper take back
the trap aud refund him the original
price. This was rather a staggerer ID
the way ot cheek, but the man behind
the counter quietly took out 20 cents,
passed it over to tfe NJ. H., and re-
marked that he would refund the
money and at the same time present
him wish the trap. Gracefully thank
ing him, the NJ. u. quickly rocke,ea
the cash aud trap, and walked ont with

BROKE JAIL.-A report comes from
Beaver that Ben Tasker broke Jail there
Monday morning, about 4 o'clock. There
we're four guards placed on watch at the
Jail for Ben's especial benefit, but it ap.
pears that the old man did not pay any
attention to them, and when the guards
saw the great outlaw make his appear
ance through the side of the Jail they all
ran and hid. In the morning they track
ed Tasker to the Beaver river, and as
man walking in water leaves no trail be-
hind him, here they lost all trace of Ben.
1t appears that some of Ben's friends,
wishing to get the old man out of the
way, and fearing him, turned again him,
and some pretty tall swearing was done
during his trial, and the old man didn't
propose to take any chances under these
circumstances. Tasker escaped before
the jury brought in verdict, which
proved to be murder in the first degree.
The name of Ben Tasker strikes terror to
the hearts of the Mormons in Southern
Utah, and there has been several rewards
offered for his death by citizens. We
understand that there has been $500 re-
ward offered for his capture, and although
they are many who would like to secure
the coin, there are very few who care
about risking there own lives for so small
