PECULIAR Pravers.


An anonymous writer contributes
to the Atlantic Monthly Some recol-
lections or stories of the public pray
ers of the Puritan fathers of New
England. In a Maine town, near the
sea-coast, was one of many communi-
ties where the men were, so 10 speak,
cross between farmers and sailors,
and where, as natural consequence,
the cultivation OF the soil was some
what neglected.
The minister of a neighboring town
exchanged with the minister of this
community, and as a drouth was then
upon them, the people sent him re-
quest that he would pray for rain.
This he did as follows:
20 Lord, thy servant is asked by
this people to pray for rain, and he
does so. But thou knowest, o Lord,
that what this soil needs is dressin'. ="
A member of a certain Massachu-
sets parish, prominent for his thrift
and personal consequence, was also
notorious for his oVerbearing assump-
lions and pompous airs. Under the
distress and fright of a dangerous
illness he put up notes" on several
successive Sundays, and after his re-
coVery, according to usage, he offered
note, to be read by the minister,
expressive of his thanks.
The minister was somewhat large"
in this part of his prayer; recalling
the danger and the previous petitions
of the squire" and returning his
grateful acknowledgements with the
prayer that the experience might be
hlaCCan 70 10 nfFff al Of N
restored man; he closed with these
words:
"And we pray, o Lord, that thy
servant may be cured of that ungodly
strut, so offensive in the sanctuary"
Doctor Barnes, of Scituate, had for
parishioner rich but hard, grasp
ing, penurious and quarrelsome man.
In course of time he died, and at his
funeral the minister dealt with him
in no gentle phrase.
The next Sunday the bereaved wi
dow came herself to the parsonage,
bringing the usual mote, and at the
same time preferring an earnest re-
quest that, as the minister had al.
ready given her husband such a rak-
ing at the funeral. he would quietly
pass him over in his prayer. She
added that her husband had always
been kind and good to her and to his
family.
We'll, well, We'll see, said the aged
and venerated pastor. His curt reliel
of himself in his prayer was this:
Thou knowest, o Lord, that thy
departed servant was a good provide1
for his family; but beyond that, his
friends think, and we think, the less
said the better.

Accrington bowed low and mockinglY.
Auberon took Mrs. Deliamere's cold and
trembling hand, and caressed it between
his own warm nervous ones
~Then marriage shall save herr" cried
he, flushing up. and fixing his sparkling
eyes beseechinghly upon Mrs. Della
mere, while the thrill from his own
heart tingled through his hands into
hers, and crept along all her veins like
new life. Marriage shall save her; but

AccringtOn sprang erect with a fierce
air. ~But is not this pity? a generous
pity, which yet fills me with humilia-

"Pity!" echoed Auberon, hot,y, "who

Mrs Dellamere, that as circumstances

"Hai" snarled Accrington, looking as
if he would spring upon him "YOu

Colonel Accrington, to spare you any
further trouble in this matter, which has
ceased to concern you, I shall explain
that Miss Dellamere and have plighted
our troth to each other, subject TO Mrs
Dellamere's appreciation, said Auberon,
proudly.
And without waiting to watch the tor
| tured face of his Vanquished rival. as
the truth struck home, he bent his curly
head and received Mrs Dellamere's fer
vent kiss upon his brow. then caught
her in his arms as she sank under the
wild revu!sion of feeling
AS he lore her into the hall he saw Ac-
crington striding away in the darkness

with curiosity as to the secret Of this
visit of the riTai candidate.
In very few minutes Colonel Accring-
ton himself appeared, calm, courteous
and inscrutable, and greeted Mr.. Arden
without offering his hand (which he per
haps feared might be rejected).
Edgar Arden and Richard Accrington
had met several times in the course Of
their lives, but in such fashion that they
had never CHANGED to make each others
personal acquaintance; they knew al
about each other, and possessed many
mutual friends.
The present meeting was. therefore
easy and digniffed; and the Colonel made
his political opponent very welcome TO
his own house, referring with graceful
raillery to the professional rivalry be-
tween them
@You find me up TO the eyes in e,ec-
pioneering bu- mess, and quite re olved to
rout the enemy" said he, laughing; ~or
if that be impossible, as I dare say it is.
TO give him hard fight for his victory.
II am quite sure I should find Col. Ac-
crington a foeman worthy Of my steel, If
/ intended to dispute the held with
him, replied Edgar; and his tone and
steady gaze convinced Accrington that
something very personal indeed was
coming. He resented the young mans
cold manner, and writbed consciously
under his eondemning gaze. What! was
every young jackanapes who chose to
sit in Judgment upon him, and treat him
TO mystifcations in this highland mighty
style?
@You don't intend to give in without
tussle sure?" drawled he, putting on his
delicately insolent manner
"Oh, don't do that, Arden; I should
have no pleasure in the affair if you al
low me to walk over the course in dreary
solitude. But, perhaps have misunder-
stood you; Inehcape hasn't failed you,
has he? I supposed of course that you
had his support, and, I confess, rather
dreaded your power Speak out, sir,
don't be afraid; you have come to ask
me to do something or other, 1 can see
that"
81 have, indeed, " said Edgar briefly;
81 have come to as you, as gentleman
and a soldier, to do an act of justice to
one who has suffered wrongfully for five
years"

Water at Fifty Cents a Drink.

A Lewiston gentleman driving in
the country recently, found the wa
tering places by the roadside as dry
as herring bones. Seeing a farmer il
a yard by the roadside, he drove VI
to the door and asked for water fol
his horse. The man looked at him
interrogatively, and said:
water? should say not. 1 shouldn't
agree to give your horse what watel
he might want under half a dollar
It's worth that.
The Lewiston gentleman paid it
and the horse was watered, and the
farmer said in explanation that al
the water they had was brought 4;
long distance, laboriously by hand
and that it cost nearly that amount
in time and hard work to get it. Wa

THE genius who has invented
India rubber" war ships is skipping
around at a lively rate just now, in
the hope of getting his invention
adopted. He claims that an armor
of rubber seven feet thick on a naval
vessel would cause the largest prof.
ectile which could be fired at it to
rebound with such velocity that it
would do more damage to the ship
which fired it than TO the one fred
against. Vessels armOred this way
and provided with towers which can
be telescoped to the surface OF the
deck at a moments notice, certainly
ought to be nearly impregnable. But
why not put all the gunners and
other fighters in a 12-inch rubber

There is not another place in the
world where the emperor Of Russia
feels SO secure and SO easy in his mind
as at the court of his father-in-law,
King Christian of Denmark. They were
sitting together on the day of the golden
wedding of the king, when the emperor,
in the exuberance of his feelings of COM
fort, said that he wished he could think
Of something by which he could give to
lis beloved father a very great pleasure.
you could not give me a greater
PLEASURE replied the king, ''than
should feel at your resolve togo and pay
a visit to the emperor of Germany"

was arranged. What all the cleverest
