=7 .lkßeautiful Sketch.
A ftwiltc;l:e since. in coming down the lioAhltiver,
I was seated in the cabin of the magnificent steamer
Isaac Newton, in'ativinotion -with some friends. 'lt.
'Was' becoming lato lb the evening, iiiitlal i sinfteranother

own comfort or appreheritdOn of danger indicated.
I had noticed on tho deck a fineTiftw. c lir, little boy of
.bout six years old, following around a man evidently his
father, 'Whose appearance indicated him to bo a foreigner.

After walking about the cabin fora turns the lathe

child was ..to occupy. which was)th u or berth, white

his yOung happy heart alt ays rested there, , *his done,
I loSTed for bins to seek his resting place; but instead of
this. ho otifellf kfideled down on the fluor. put hie little
hailds togetliffio beautifully childlike and simple, and
restinilfitrrarms on the lower binih, agaillt which he
knelyho began his vesper prayers.
71to father sat down by his side and waltild the con
'elusion. It was, for a child, a long prayer, but well un
derAood. I could hoar-Os Murmuring of his sweet
toice, but could not distinguish tho words he But
what a scene! There were men around hisa—Christitui

a kind of mental desiro fe'r protection, without inffic - hint
coitrago or piety to kneel down, in a steamboat's cabin,
and ts.t.fore strangers; ackuowledie`tho goodness of God,
or ask his protecting love.
This was the training of some pious mother. Where
was she now? How many times had her kind hand
been laid on those suuiiy locks, as she had taught him
!to lisp his prayers?
A beautiful sight was this, that child at prayer. in the
midst of the busy, thoughtless throng . ,.. Ile alone. of the
reclining multitude. draws nigh to Ilea * ien.. I thank tho
'paternal love that taught him to lisp his evening praPet,
whothOr Catholic or Protestant, whether dead or living,
whether far off or nigh. it did me good; it made me
better. I could scarce refrain Tom -weeping then, nor
can I now, as I see again that sweet child, in the Crol4-
ed^timnit of a stoamboist cabin, bending its devotion to
his Maker. -
But . a little While before I saw a crowd of admiring hiss
jousts getherih rifiont a crowd of Italian singerOn the
upper saloon—a mother and Ave sons, with voice set'
harp and violin; but no one heeded, no enocated for the
child at prayer. '
When the little boy ba l d finished his evontngdevotions,
he aroskand kissed his fattier most affocticnsstsly, who
put him iri'llitiberth to rest for the night. I fella strong
desire to speak to tliersi,lint deferred it till morning.—
When morning came. the .contusion of landing prevent
ed me from seeing them again. But. if etiirtiri meet that
boy in his happy youth. in his anxious manhood.. in his
declining foam, I'll thank him for the influence and ex
ample of that night's devotion, and bless the mime of the
mother that taught him to pray.
Scarcely any passing incident of my lifo ever made a
deeper impression on my mind. I wont to my room and
thanked God that I had witnessed it. and fur ita influence
'on my heart. 'Who prays ou .D 1 steamboat? Who train
their children to pray at home?

How to get rid of a AelghbOr's
If you are troubled with your neighbor's hens,-the beat
way is' not to shoot them, and send in the dead bodies.
but quietly feed them around your stable with pier own
fowls, and, then shake out extra straw in souto empty bar
rel or by-place. .An acquaintance of mine in this way
collected some dozen of, 'eggs at a-slight expense. thereby
getting all the profit of the poultry' without the trouble of
housing or keeping thenftprough the winter'. Try it.—
