"Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep.

By virtue of its age, and value, and pre-
vious associations, this little prayer has b.
come classic. 1t must be very ancient
for who can tell when or by whom it was
written? Thousands, from the silver.
haired pilgrim to the lisping infant. sink
to nightly slumber murmuring the simple
petition. 1t has trembled on the lips O,
the dying. One instance was that of AL
old saint Of eighty-six years, whose mine
had so failed that he could not recognize
his own daughter" VERY touching (says
the relator) was the scene one night after
retiring, as he called his daughter as if she
were his mother, saying like a little child
Mother, come here by my bed and hear me
say my prayers before so to Sleep She
came near. He clasped his white, wither-
ed hands, and reverently said:
'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;'"
then quietly fell asleep. and awoke in heav-
en-.
A distinguished judge, who, many years
ago died in New York in extreme old age,
said that his mother had taught the stanza
to him in infancy, and that he never omit
ted it at night. John Quincy Adams
made similar assertion; and an old sea
captain declared that, even before he be-
came decided Christian, he never forgot
it on turning IN at night. An eminent
bishop, in addressing Sunday school,
said that every night since his mother
taught it to him when babe at her knee
he was accustomed to repeat it on retir-
ing.
There is an addemdama (by whom un-
known) which brings in the Intercessor.
giving distinctively Christian tone to
the lines:
And 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,
And this ! ask for Jesus sake"
From another unknown source is a comv
mon prayer for morning, which may be
welcome to some of your readers:
''Now wake me out of sleep
Ipray Thee Lord. my soul to keep;
If shou d die before the eve,
Ipray Thee, Lord, my soul receive,
That may with my Saviour live, Amen"

A FAIR AND RACE COURE FOR
CAIRO.

AS is known, a company has been organ
lied for the purpose of establishing a fair
and race course in our city; but, up to this
time, the full amount of stock has not been
taken. The commissioners, who have OPEN
ed the books for subscription to the capital
stock of the company, intend to visit the
citizens again next Saturday, and it is to be
hoped that they will meet with good sue
cess. Every merchant in Cairo, every saloon.
keeper, every hotel.keeper, every man,
who wants to buy, or to sell, is interested in
the establishment of fair and race course
in Cairo. Every year the land which must
be bought is growing more valuable, and
we believe that in year from this time
land, inside the levee, can not be bought by
the fair association-it will all be occupied
for other purposes.
