TIE cHILp,s PRAYER.

THE cHiLD'S PRAYER.
Into her chamber went
A little maid one day,
And by chair she knelt
And thus began to pFays
"Jesus, my eyes close;
Thy form I cannot see;
If thou art near me- Lord,
pray thee speak to me-"
A still small voice she heard within her soulg
"What Is it, child2 hear thee. Tell me ell. ,
II pray thee Lord, she said,
"That thou wilt condescend
To tarry In my heart
And ever be my friend.
The path of life Is dark,
/ would not go astray,
Oh, let me have thy hand
To lead me in the way"
''Fear not, will not leave thee, child,
alone"
She thought she felt a soft hand press her own.
"They tell me, Lord, that all
The living pass away;
The aged soon must die,
And even children may.
Oh, let my parents live
TIL a woman grow,
For If they die, what can
A little orphan dor"
"Fear not, my child. Whatever ills may come,
TN not forsake thee till bring thee home"
Her little prayer was said,
And from her chamber now
She passed forth with the light
OF heaven upon her brow.
"Mother, I've seen the Lord,
His hand in mine felt,
And, oh, heard him say
AS by my chair knelt:
Fear not, my child. Whatever ills may come,
I'll not forsake thee till bring thee home !"

Both Died In .TarnsaIem.

Monk Gerbert, who assembled the papal
throne under the title of Sylvester II,
anticipating Roger Bacon, made a
bronze head, which, like that owned by
the reputed inventor of gunpowder, was
CapzDic s1sss
From tEis head he learned that he would
not die until he performed mass at Jeru-
salem, and so he determined to live for
ever, by taking especial care not to go to
the Holy City. Unfortunately Gerbert
soon found that brazen heads, like other
juggling fiends, ''but keep the word Of
promise to our ear and break it to our
hope, for one day he was taken serious
" Ill Just after he had celebrated mass
in one of the churches at Rome. On in
quiring the name of this particular
church he heard, much to his dismay,
that it was popularity known as "Jeru-
SALEM" and he died in great agony q
few hours afterward. Five hundred
years after this Master Robert Fabian
gives us the story Of the death of King
Henry ~, and tells us how that in his
youth it had been prophesied that he
would die in Jerusalem, and that the
prophecy, as in the case of Gerbert, was
in way fulfilled by the king dying in
the Jerusalem chamber at Westminster.

Views of an English Critic on Al
Minor Bards.

Minor Bards.
With Transatlantic Bardlets" as his
headline, a writer in the London Satur-
day Review prefaces some rather savage
criticism of several books of verse recent
" published in America with the fol-
lowing lively remarks:
They are uncommonly like the Eng
hsh poetlings, these Transatlantic bard
let's, but there are more of them. This is
not because the States are less poetical
than the mother country, but because
they have more people Moreover, ''cul-
ture'' is generally held in higher esteem
there, and to appear in print is an u1l-
doubted mark of having obtained it, just
as university degree is a proof, among
the English middle classes, of its proud
possessor's right to be regarded as a
scholar and gentleman.
But if the authorship of book is a
certificate of taste and reading it be-
comes a diploma in honors when that
book consists of metrical matter. Now,
about 70 per cent of moderately educat-
ed persons can write lines which some
times scan, often rhyme and occasional
" make sense, and painfully large pro
portion of these are impelled to establish
their characters in the eyes of their
neighbors by the publication of these sc
| called verses A little money or the
power of deluding publishers reader,
a simple tribe, is all that is needed II
must be added that at times the poems
are genuine trade success, as are In
England, for instance, the innocent
maunderings of Sir Edwin Arnold and
Mr.. Lewis Morris, a fact which encour-
ages scores, nay, hundreds, of other ana
bilious and avaricious rhymesters te
emulate the lucky men.
In the States, too, they have their deal
little chques of mutual admirers, like
our fair brotherhood Of the Rhymers
club and the Bodley Head, who gener
ously praise one another's songs-whicl
they read Cor neglect to ready in presen
tation copies-and they thus maintain
one another's spirit on little butter
And then, of course, there are Away
ones aunts and sisters and wives ana
that sort of thing. There are more O
these in the United States than here
hence there is more minor poetry.
