An Expelled NJ. P.'s Prayer.

During the first half of the eight
eenth century one of the members for a
southern constituency was expelled
from the house of commons for forgery
and indeed endured the purgatory or
standing in the pillory for a day. He
was a man Of unctuOus piety, and his
career in many respects resembled that
of Jabez Balfour in later days. After
his death the following prayer was
found in his own handwriting among
his papers:
80 Lord, thou knowest that l have
nine houses in the city of London ana
that l have lately purchased an estate
in fee simple in the county of Essex.
beseech thee to preserve the two coun-
ties of MiddleseX and Essex from IRE
and earthquake, and as l have mort
gage in Herefordshire beg of thee to
have an eye Of compassion also on that
county. and for the rest Of the counties
thou mayest deal with them as thou art
pleased. Give a prosperous voyage TO
The Mermaid, because l have not in
sured her, and enable the bank to meet
their bills."-St. James Gazette.

Stories of John Sherman.

To his aid in his political life John
Sherman brought nature instinctively
methodical and an unflnching probity.
He saw to it that the public moneys
were not sQuandered or used for dis
honest purposes. A claim for $1,000
600 was once brought to him for his
signature. 1t had been regularly al
lowed. but it was illegal, and he re-
fused to sign.
ut has been allowed" insisted the
claimants attorney, "and you must
sign IT,"
81 will not" repeated Mr.. Sherman,
and he did not. He would have resign
ed. he afterward confided to a friend,
had it been required Of him sooner that
even seem to sanction fraud. Neither
would he permit Irregularities. The
chief Of bureau one day came to him
for an order to pay for some machin-
cry.
"Has il been advertlsed?" asked the
secretary.
mo" said the chief, "but there are
only two places where it can be made
and we are accustomed to get their
bids and contract with the lowest"
But" said the secretary, the law
SAYS 1t must be advertised"
"At least this may pass, for 1t Is
made, and we need IT,"
81 cannot help that. The law says 1t
must be advertised, and advertised it
must be-" And advertised it was at
very large saving to the government
