AN ORTHODOX PRAYER.

Rev. Theodore Clapp, D. D., once
said in a sermon "You are father;
last week you lost an only soma pro-
fligate-cut down amidst the perpetra-
tion of enormous crimes-in the very
act. You believe in the endless misery
of those who die impenitent. Can you
this day, after church, go out to yonder
cemetery, and kneeling down at the
new-made grave offer the following
prayer: Heavenly Father, if my child
died impenitent, 1 beseech thee that he
may be punished forever; let him be
wretched outcast from God and para
disc through eternity; let no ray of
hope reach him; let not night afford
him refreshing repose; let no returning
morn bring him hope, joy, respect or
gladness; let unavailing signs pierce
the silence of his dungeon, and from
beneath the smoke of his unbending
torment let wailings, weeping and
crashing of teeth be heard forever and
ever. These favors 1 ask in the name
of Jesus Christ, our most blessed Lord
and Saviour, Amenl l."

"JESUS, LOVER OF my SOUL"

The brothers, John and Charles Wes-
ley, with Richard Fillmore. were one
evening holding twilight meeting on
the common, when they were attacked
by mob and fled from its fury for
their lives. The first place of refuge
that they found, after having been for
some time separated, was hedge-row
near at hand, behind which they hid
few minutes, protecting themselves
from serious injury by the missiles that
fell like hail about them, by clasping
their hands above their heads as they
lay with their faces in the dust. AS
night drew on, the darkness enabled
them to leave their temporary retreat
for safer one at some distance. They
found their way at last to a spring
house, where, in comparative security,
they waited for their pursuers to weary
of seeking them. Here they struck a
light with flint stone, busted their
soiled and tattered garments, and after
quenchlng their thirst, Dathed their
hands and faces in the water that bub-
bled from the spring and flowed away in
sparkling streamlet. Then it was that
Charles Wesley was inspired to write
"Jesus, lover of my soul" with bit of
lead which he had hammered into a
pencil.
These circumstances beautifully IL
lustrate the hymn, giving to almost
every line reality that makes it pecul
iarly significant to every loving Chris
tian heart. They had fled before their
enemies, and found shelter from dan
ger. He sang -
Jesus. lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly"

Gums book when originally published was
esteemed very complete work, but in this
new edition, DIR. Jordan has written upon
over one hundred and sixty diseases and all
ments, mostly not touched upon at first.
In the limits of a brief notice it is impossible
to describe even in the barest outline, such
medical, anatomical and physiological cyclic
pedia. The plan followed is, first to give
brief description of the disease or ailment,
and then to prescribe remedies and treatment.
Perhaps the work can be best described in a
few words from its elaborate title page:-"A
complete guide for all the diseases incident
to men, women and children" But the book
does more than this. 1t also gives directions
for using medicinal plants, many valuable
rules for avoiding disease and prolonging life.

General Keifer's host of friends will b.
glad to read this paragraph from the edi-
torial department OF the Ohio State Jour
nat, which Is in vindication of his judgment
and parliamentary knowledge in the respect
named, from both democratic paper (the
Enquirer, il we may be allowed to call it
democratic paperl and republican pa
per, the Journal:
The Enquirer gives very correct ac-
count of General Keifer's famous ruling
when speaker of the house Of represents
tives by which he refused to allow dilatory
motions to be applied to proposition TO
change the rules SO as to shut off dilatory
motions. This is the ruling which Glad
stone quoted with approval in the British
house Of commons. The rule then estab-
iished in the United States house was
Immediately changed by the democrats
when they obtained the majority. and
the Enquirer iDtimates that some
of them are now sorry for
it. If enough of them are sorry they, with
the republicans, could restore the rules to
what they were when the democratic house
came in. But this would require the CO.
operation of Speaker Carlisle, aid even IL
he favors the direct tax bill he Is probably
not master of the grit that Keifer displayed.
HIS action In that direction would, how
ever, subject him to no real danger. There
was strong talk of an attempt to depOse
Keifer on account Of his celebrated ruling,
but 1t never amounted to anything mora
than talk, and even that was confined to
small disgruntled caucuses and did not
come into the house.
