A Boys Prayer.

MlddietOwn Mercury,
A lady residing in this village, the
mother of bright little boy, was talk
ing to him the other night, just as
she was pntting him to bed, about the
efficacy of prayer. and told him that
if be would ask God for anything that
be particularly desired she had no
doubt his request would be granted.
The little fellow knelt at his mothers
knee and prayed Gcd to send fifty
little sisters and one hundred little
brothers. The prayer was never
finished, for the mother, aghast at
the prospect of having her house turn
ed into an orphan asylum, lifted the
bow to his feet and tucked him into
bed without moments unnecessary
delay.

edge. This leaves the card plainly
discernible among the hundrd or
more of others in the box. The con-

utensils? Go by all means. Get farm
OF your own, and in three years time you
can he worth more money than i'm n life
time where you are now.
Do you own small farm of valuable
land off which you can barely make a
living? Sell it and go and get large
f4rm, and in a few years you can rest
from your labors with a competence for
Your old age.
Have you a team and no land? Get a
breaking plow and go. You can find
plenty OF work and good wages for your
self and team. Breaking teams are in
great demand. At the same time you
are making farm for yourself
Are you mechanic living i'll q rented
house, working for wages that will barely
support yourself and family? Go. Your
labor is wanted there and at good wages.
Are you merchant struggling along
in an already over crowded city, eking
out a miserable existence with scarcely a
hope of better prospects? Gather your
goods and go. Start in some new and
growing village, and you too can soon
earn your way to comparative ease and
comfort. 1t will require hard work, some
self denial, but you are sure to win in
the end.
Are you capitalist looking for good
investments? You, too, go. Invest in
substantial business blocks, mills, factor
les, and you may be sure your dividends
will be large.
In fact, anyone having backbone enough
to start will find in few years he will
have no cause to regret having done so
