You visit ones sanctum and find him
quietly seated in an old rickety chair
with the bottom half gone, a portion
Of the patch on the bosom of his pants
hanging down and his feet encased
in half-tanned pair of shoes, and
corns all over his toes as big as hotel
bed bugs, writing up society news and
telling the farmers how to plant their
crops in order to produce a large yield,
and at the same time maybe some fel.
low is strutting about who owes him a
dollar for subscription to his paper,
is wearing socks made of silk, a gold
ring and fine cane with his body
laced up in an expensive corset. And
right then the farmer he is advising
should sell enough potatoes to pay the
editor for his paper and have plenty
left to do him whole year. It's no
wonder that there are so few editors
in the church, for If they we're called
upon to tell their experience they
could relate nothing the Lord had
done for them only given them a big
lot of delinquent subscribers. Forest

Two men in the dress of farmers,
and each one carrying hnt-lock mus

front Of the Paulding farm house near
TarrytOwn on the Hudson. In re-
sponse to the call, a man OF thirty ap-

scarlet from having knelt before the
fire for the last half hour, and in one
hand he held pair Of bullet.moulds

A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER.

One Of the prettiest things l ever
read or heard, says a correspondent OF
the Brooklyn Eagle, was little poem
written on the prayer Now lay me
down to Sleep" by a mining prospec.
tor, apropos Of the circumstances and
place he found himself one right.
This man was once in quite coms0rt-
able circumstances, but possessed Of a
strong desire to prospect for mines,
started out, and becoming finally
tramp, financially. walked many miles
east to Wichita. Kan, and stepping
into the office Of newspaper applied
for work on the reportOrial staff, say.
ing that he had worked On newspapers
from the bottom to the top as editor;
but his appearance being against HIM
from his long walk ana impoverished
conditi0n, he received no notice, much
less encouragement, and On retiring
laid on the editors desk the poem,
saving IL it was any use to him he was
welcome to it. At the editors leisure
he picked it up read It, and at once
sent out to find the tramp. but NJ
trace Of him could be found.
THE PRAYER.
Now lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If sholld die before wake
pray the Lord my soul to take.
"Now lay me down to Sleep"
Near the campfire's Pickering light,
In my blanket bed lie,
Gazing through the shades Of night
At the twinkling stars on high.
Der me spirits in the air
Silent vigils seems to keep,
AS l breathe my childhood's prayer
"Now lay me down to Sleep"
Sadly sings the whippoorwill,
In the boughs Of yonder tree;
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the midnight melody;
Foemen may be lurking near,
In the canyon dark and deep;
Low I breathe in Jesus ear,
~ pray the Lord my soul to keep"
Mid the stars one face see,
One the Saviour called away;
Mother, who, in infancy
Taught my baby lips to pray;
Her sweet spirit hovers near,
In the lonely mountain brake,
Take me to her, Saviour dear,
"If should die before wake"
Fainter grows the Pickering light
AS each ember slowly dies,
Plaintively the birds of night
Fill the air with saddening cries;
Over me they seem to cry,
"You may never more awake"
Low lisp, "If should die
Ipray the Lord my soul to take"

face went white in an instant. He
had wonderful self-control, however.
The pallor disappeared and was re-
