An INFANT BAPTIzED.--It was rcsery-
ed for Mr.. William Jones TO prepare tho
most impressive service which took place
In the Episcopal church on Easter day.
On the afternoon of that day hc presented
his inihnt son for the solemn sacrament
of baptism, and made all tho arrange
rhents In II manner that could not fail 10
attract attention and elicit admiration.
| The Sabbath-school scholars and IA large
number Of adults assembled to witness the
ceremony. The cparty that gathered around
the flower.decked baptismal font consisted
Of Capt. Breeze, son.in.law of ex-Goy.

Emily Matt, who oficated ns god.m0lhcr,

will be observed that the three lay gentle
men named are all accomplished sailors
Capt. Breeze and Mr.. Jones having had mn
extensive experience as mariners, and Mr..
Roland Irwin being AN cx.cadct Of the
American navy. With the natural pro-
pensity which every lively American lad
develops 10 follow the sea, supplemented
by such influences 10 mould and direct his
future life AS these three gentlemen will
exert, it will be remarkable II he does not
also become sailor. As If to cap the
climax and make fate more certain, the
roguish infant received the famous name,
John Paul Jones, given 70 him in honor of
the grand hero of the American navy
during the revolution. But then, ~ j.
always the case, "doubtful things are some
times uncertain, and a. Nil. Emily Matt
acted the role Of eod.mo,h"r on that occs.
sion, !, may bc that the influence of this
talented lady will be sutEicieatly potent tu
coun,crhct that of these fcr-lov.ng gentle
men, and when John Paul Jones grow. 10
manhood it is possible that she will per.
suado him 10 keep at least one foo; on
land. Meanwhile, great Neptune. watch
over the future dcs,iny Of thy favored
child.
