lowing prayer was formerly in a book
of private devotions used in England
beloro the accession of (jueon Mary.
On account of the strong temptations
to demand exorbitant rates, an ex
change thinks tho prayer should bo
received and adopted once more into
tho churches:

A Slight Mistake. A capital sto
ry is told of a young fellow vho one
rtunaay strolled into a villago church,
and during tho servico was electrified
and gratified by the sparkling of a pair
oi eyes wnieu wero riveted upoti his
face. After tho service ho saw tho
possessor of tho shining orbs leave the
church alono, and emboldened by her
glances, no ventured to follow her, his
neart aching with rapture He saw
her look behind, and fancied she evinc
ed some emotion at rocognizing him.
Ho then quickened his pace, and sheac
tually sluckencd hcr's as if to let him
come up with her but we will permit
me young gentleman to toll the rest
in his own way: "Noblo young crea

turned borlkco toward me. M v heart

spot where she stood; she began to
speak, and I took off my hat as if do

you a peddler r she asked. o, my
dear girl, that is not my occupation."
'Well, 1 don't know, continued sho,
not very bashfully, and eyoine me
very sternly, "I thought when I saw
you in the meeting houso that you

A Beautiful Sentiment. Shortly

lustration :

We are animated at the moving pic

who has seen tho process of evapora

knows thnt salt falls to the bottom

it lies with the skin sido down, the
salt will fall to the skin, and remain
there; when, if placed with tho flesh
sido down, tho salt falls to tho bottom
of tho pan, and the fish comes out
freshened as it should be; iu tho oth-
