Now | LAY NIL presume that except
the Lords Prayer, there is no form of pcii-
ton ms frequently used throughout Christcn-
dom rs that beginning Now lay me down
to sleep Nor is il confined exclusively 10
the days of infancy and childhood. ! knew
n dear old man in Philadelphia, for many
years warden in one of the chief parishes
there, who was heard, almost up to the time
of his death, nj the age ofcighty- four, repeat
ing these same words as Il part of his daily
evening dcvotions. And vet am inclined
as well from observation ms from inquiry. to
believe that the majority ofpcrsons teaching
and using this familiar prayer make very
serious mistake in one of It's most important
particulars, thereby departing from its orig.
inal intent and form.
As usually said, it is as follows:
'Now lay me down to sleep:
pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If should die before wake.
pray the Lord my soul to take"
Whereas it ought to be:
Now lay me down to sleep:
pray Thee. Lord, my soul to keep
If ! should die before wake,
pray Thee, Lord my soul to take"
One needs but compare the differences to
see most pregnant distinction between the
two. In the one a mere declaration is made

Signature of the Cross.

The mark which persons who are unable
to writcare required 10 make instead of their
signatures, is in the form of cross; and
this practice having formerly been followed
by kings and mobiles, is constantly referred
TO as an instance of the dCplOrahlc ignorance
of ancient times. This signatures not, how
ever, invariably II proof of such ignorancc.-
AnCicntly, the use of the mark was moi CON
fined to ilitCratc persons; for among the
SaXons the mark of the cross as an attcsia-
ton of the good faith of the person signing,
was required to be attached to the signature
of those who could write, as well as to stand
in the place OF the signature of those who
could not write. In those times, if man
could write, or even read, his knowledge was
considered proof prcsumptive that he was in
holy orders. The clericus, or clerk was synOn-
ymous with penman; and the laity, or people
who were not clerks, did not feel amy urgent
necessity for the USE of letters. The ancient
use of the cross was therefore universal, alike
by those who could, and those who could rot

BLAINE's VERY CoMTCAL STORY During

he thought of Hayes.
"That reminds me of little story" said
the Senator, "a party went up to Moosehead
Lake to camp out The agreement was that
one man should do the cooking till some one
complained, and then the man who grumbled
should try his hand at it. The cooking was
frightful, but not one of the party-with the
penalty hanging in ter70rem over their heads
dared say a word. Finally things came to
such pass that each man tried to inveiglc
his neighbor into freeing his mind One day
one of the party saw his friend writing in
silent agony over piece of alleged pie.
