person q pistol, they should find de-
PENDANT guilty and assess his punish

THE LORDS PRAYER.

[Thefollowing composition was found In
Charleston, 8. c., during the war. II was
printed on very heavy yellow satln.I
Thou to the mercy seat our souls dost gather
To do our duty unto thee-Our Father,
To whom all praise, all honor should be given;
For thou art the great God,-Who art i'll
Heaven.
Thou by thy wisdom, rulst the world'swhole
frame;
Forever therefore,-Hallowed be thy name.
Let never more delay divide us from
Thy glorious grace, but let-Thy kingdom
come,
Let thy commands opposed be by none.
But thy good pleasure and-Thy will be
done
And let our promptness TO obey, be even
The very same In earth as It's in Heaven.
Then for our souls, o, Lord, we also pray
Thou woulds't be pleased to-Give us this
day
The food OF life wherewith our souls are fed,
Sufficient raiment, and-Our daily bread;
With every needful thing do thou relieve us
And of thy mercy, pity-And forgive us
All our misdeeds. for Him whom thou didst
please
And for as much, o, Lord, as we believe
That thou wilt pardon us-As we forgive
Let that love teach wherewith thou dost ac-
quaint us,
To pardon all-Tbose who trespass against
US;
And though sometimes, thou findest we have
forgot
This love for thee, yethelp-And lead Us not
Through soul or body's want, to desperation.
Nor let earths gain drive us-into tempta-
ton;
Let not the soul OF any true believer
Fall in tie time OF trial-But deliver
And in both life and death. keep-Us from
evil.
Thus pray we, Lord, for that of thee from
whom
This may be had-For thine is the Kingdom
This world is OF thy work, its wondrous story.
To thee belong-The power and the glory;
And all thy wondrous works have ended
never,
But will remain forever and-Forever,
Thus we poor creatures would confess again.
And thus would say eternally-Amen."

A Strange Land.

Australia is a country in which Ma
ture has established conditions un-
known elsewhere, and where civiliza-
tion must adapt itself TO surround
ings which it finds novel and strange.
Ii is country full Of absurdiiies In
animal vegetable and human life.
Its native race, in npoint ofintelligencc
and development OF resources, is far
below even the cave ve-dwellers and the
people OF the stone age Of Europe.
Its animals perpetuate types which
disappeared from every other part OF
the globe some millions OF years ago.
Its trees and plants are representative
Of species found elsewhere only In
chalk and coal measures.
Hardly anything here has the char
acter and quality Of It's relations In
other lands. Although it's trees and
flowers are chiefly those OF the tenn.
perate zone, the birds are for the
most part Of the tropics, and flash
the gorgeous colors of the parrot and
the cockatoo through the dull foliage
OF the sadtoned eucalyptus. The
birds have no song and such notes AZ
they possess seem like weird echoes
from period when reptiles were as-
suming wings and filling the tree tops
with strange jargon, before heard
only in the swamps and fens. The
flowers have noHceDt, while The leaves
OF every tree are full of odor. The
trees cast no shade, since every leaf
IL set at edge against the sun, and
shed, not their leaves, but their bark,
which, stripping OF In long scales, ex
poses the naked wood beneath, and
adds to the ghostly effect which the
forest already holds in the pallid hues
OF its foliage. The contour Of the
country Is but newly risen from waves.
Its Thousands and thousands Of square
miles, level as "A table and set with no
other growth than the gray eucaIyp-
tus, looks like the uplifted bed Of
some great sea, and IL a. monotonous
a. the unrelieved expanse OF ocean
itself Here aud there are low hills,
which show in their sides and in the
the country about them the evidences
OF ancient lava flows. Elsewhere are
piled up nasses OF bowIders, which
show the loDgago courses Of glaciers
over the face Of the. land. Everything
seems prehistoric, hoary with age
and forgotten. 10 the traveller from
other lands an impression CONES that
he is visiting a country which had
ceased in its development long cons
ago.

A Remarkable Scene.

/ Ex-Gov. Proctor Knott, OF Ken
tucky, recently told OF remarkable
scene that he once witnessed. He
! said !:
1t WAS a remarkable scene. Ii oc-
Cured during my early manhood,
when | was attorney general OF Mis-
souri, Robert Stewart was then Gov
ernor of that State. One day was
In his private Office, when he pardon
ed a steamboatman for some crime.
What it was | have forgotten, but
that does not matter The man had
been brought from the penitentiary
10 the Governors Office. He was
large, powerful fellow, with the rough
manners Of his class.
The Governor looked at the steam
boatman and seemed strangely affect
ed. He scrutinized him long and
closely. Finally he signed the docu-
ment that restored him TO liberty,
but before he handed il To him said
You will commit some other crime
and be in the penitentiary again, |
fear The man solemnly promised
that he would. not. The Governor
looked, unused few moments, and
said
"'You willgo back on the river and
be mate again, | suppose =
The man replied that he would.
Well, want you TO promise me
one thing, resumed the Governor. i
want you TO pledge your word that
when you are II mate again you will
never take billet Of wood in your
hand and drive sick boy out OF n
bunk To help you load your boat on
a stormy night The steamboatman
said that he would not, and inquired
what the Governor meant by asking
him such IA question.
The Governor replied Because
some day that boy may become n
Governor and you may want him 10
pardon you for a crime. One dark,
stormy night many years ago you
stopped your boat on the Mississippi
TO take on load OF wood There
was boy on board who was working
his passage from New Orleans to st.
Louis, but he was very sick OF fever
and was lying in bunk. You had
plenty OF men To do the work, but
you went to that boy with "A stick OF
wood i'm your hand and drove him
with blows and curses out into the
wretched night, and kept him toiling
like slave until the load was com
pleted. was that boy. Here IL
your pardon. Never again be guilty
of such brutality. And the man, COW.
ering and hiding his face, went out
As never heard OF him again, | sup.
pose he took care not to break the
law"

The Ra,lroad Gozette says that loco
motive building has evidently not
been quite 20 large In the year just
ended as it was in the year preceding
In 1888 there were reported 2,l50 loco
motives built by seventeen firms. In
1853 there were 1850 built by sixteen
firms. The product Of the firms not
reporting would probably not raise
the output TO 900. Thirteen Of the
firms reported in both years. These
built Ida locomotives la 1885 and
1861 in 1889. 1t is quite evident,
therefore, that there has been some
falling of, but it was not enough TO
make dull times for the builders.
The average yearly product Of nine
teen firms for the years 1878 was
1,e45 locomotives, 2l5 less than the
1889 product Of the sixteen firms now
reporting. Reports from about half
the car-building companies show .
decline OF 20 per cent. FROM the pro-
duet of 1888.

NEW VOL. 25--NO.. 16.

Sitting down near the lions cage one
can almost fancy he is about to dis
cover the source of the Nile. In the
distance, as he half closes his eyes,
he hears the cluck of the dodo which
has just come off her nest, with two
little new dodos He also hears the
Tilt of the scaroo and the sleepy voice
Of the high behind. The FURNISHED
moon seems 10 simmer a little bit
through the almost Opaque Jungle.
The yum-yum tree seems to sigh in
the gentle zephyr. The tutti-frutti
palm sways in the soft starlight, while
far away in the deep recesses of the
pungent night one can almost hear
Emin Bey
In them urky depths of the bush
the scorbutic murmurs its low lula
by TO its young and the lala sinks to
rest with low cry.
Hist
What is that
do not know what it is.
Is il the croupy moan of the dew
dad a it rubs its hot back against
the gum arabic tree, or is il the
valedictory of the over ripe citizen
as he drops from the tree into the
vestibule of a straw-colored lion with
red gums?
Again it is still until the sleepy
voice of the hippopotamus is heard
as he yawns little and obscures the
face of nature. Also his own. Then
as the silence comes there is n crush
ing blow in the back of the explorer,
a harsh voice tells him TO wake up
and move on orget moss agate over
the oye and thirty days.on thoiIand. y
He awakes with start TO find him
self in the clutches Of sparrow
chaser
Central Park, including the menag
erie and the mouth Of the hippopota-
mus, will be open each day until
