IRREVERENT PRAYERS.
Petitions Which Impnte to the
Almighty Human Passion and
Prejudices.

Youths Companion.
1t is said that an officer once
went up to the ruler of the English
commonwealth, iafter he had
finished prayer in the presence of
his troops, and said to him
roughly:
Il know row the God you be-
lieve in He is only a bigger and
stronger Oliver Cromwell"
Whether this bold declaration
was true or not there is reason to
believe from many of the sermons
which have come to us from those
early days that some of our fore
fathers, with their narrew lives
and intense personal affections
and prejudices, were apt to to re-
gard their Maker merely as q
larger and more powerful Self,
very much as they did their king
or the chief of their clan:
The chief of the Leslies is said
to have prayed before a battle:
"Be on our side An gin ye Gamma
be on our side, aye lay low a bit,
an's yell see thae carles get "a
hidin' that must please ye."
An old Covenanter. who ruled
his household with a rod of iron,
is said to have prayed in all
sincerity at family worship:
20 Lord, hae care O. Rob, for
he is On the great deep, an Thou
holdest it OIL the hollow O. Thy
hand. And hae a care O. Jamie,
for be hae gone to fight the en-
emies o his country, and the out
come O. the battle is wi Thee.
But ye need ma fash yersel' wi
wee Willy, for hae him here, an
I'm cawpable o lookin after him
myself"
There was no irreverence meant
in these petitions, however much
of vanity or of misconception of
God may have been exhibited in
the language used.
Cavalier and Roundhead,
Fenian and Orangeman' Bon
apartist and Legitimist, have alike
invoked the aid of the Ruler of
the universe. with a passionate
faith that He was a partisan with
strong, bitter prejudices like
themselves.
We have learned to offer our
petitions with at lest moro of a
semblence to reverence; but how
many of US endow the Almighty
with our own opinions and pre-
iudices? And how often we forget
to ask His help, until we find we
are not able to help oursclves

think the prosecuting witnesses cared SO
much for the amount of penalty as they
did to have people understand that they
must not interfere with officers. He was
satisfied that Valenzuela would not have
done what he did if he had not been

that he would do well not to do so again.

The examination of Charles CASTOR, for
burglary. in stealing silver watch and
chain and other articles from Morris Ru-
bernstein, took place yesterday in the
Police Court.
Rubenstein testified that he went to his
room pretty drunk. He thought his
watch was in his vest when he went to
bed, but was not positive. His recollec-
ton was not clear on that point. 1t might
have been taken from his pocket before
that.
John D. Trainor swore that CASTOR
wanted to sell him watch.
Officer Talbot detailed how he had fol-
lowed CASTOR on the night of the arrest,
how the defendant saw him and ran
away. but was shot at and arrested. Tai
bot went back to the alley where the ar
rest was made, and found the watch and
other articles. AT the City Jail CASTOR
confessed to witness and the City Attor-
ney how he took the articles from Ruben
STEMS room, offering to sell them and
throwing them away.
The court held him to answer, with bail
fixed at 81, 600.
Captain Mendes afterwards identified
the silver watch which had been stolen
from him, and was allowed to take it, not
wishing to prosecute.
