LEARNING TO PRAY. BY MARY E. DODGE. From "Hearth and Jfowic." Kneeling, fair in the twilight gray, A beautiful child was trying to pray ; His cheek on his mother's knee, His bare little feet half-hidden, His smile still coming unbidden, And his heart brimful of glee. "I want to laugh. Is it naughty ? Say, O mamma ! I've had such fun to-day, I hardly can say my prayers. I don't feel just like praying ; I want to be out-doors playing, And run, all undressed, down-stairs. "I can see the flowers in the garden-bed, Shining so pretty and sweet and red : And Sammy is swinging, I guess. Oh ! every thing is so fine out there, I want to put it all in the prayer. (Do you mean I can do it by 'Yes'?) ""When I say, 'Now I lay me' word for word It seems to me as if nobody heard. Would Thank you, dear God,' be right? lie gave me my mammy, And papa, and Sammy 0 mamma ! you nodded I might." Clasping his hands and hiding his face, Unconsciously yearning for help and grace, The little one now began. His mother's nod and sanction sweet lied led him close to the dear Lord's feet, And his words like music ran : "Thank you for making this home so nice, The flowers, and folks, and my two white mice. (I wish I could keep right on.) I thank yon, too, for every day Only I'm most too glad to pray. Dear God, I think I am done. "Now, mamma, rock me just a minute; And sing the hymn with Marlin' in it. 1 wish I could say my prayers ! When I get big, I know I can. Oh ! won't it be nice to be a man, And stay all night down-stairs ! The mother, singing, clasped him tight, Kissing and cooing her fond "Good-night" And treasured his every word. For well she knew that the artless joy And love of he precions, innocent boy A"ere a prayer that her Lord had heard. Mr. First Experience. The following is the experieice of a mechanic, concerning the benefits of a newspapers : Ten years ago I lived in the town of D , lodiana. On returning home one niht, for I am a carpenter by trade, I saw a little gin leave my uoor wnn a smile, which is encouraging to a man after a hard day's labor. I asked my wife who she was. She said Mrs. R. had sent her li lite girl after their newspaper, which she had borrowed. Wc sat down to tea. My wile said to me, call'mg ine by my iven name : "I wish you would subscribe for the newspaper, it is so much comfort to rac when you ore away from home." My answer was : I would like to do so, hut you know I owe a payment on the house and lot. It will be all that I can do to meet it." She said : "If you will take the paper, I will sew fur the tailor to pay for it." I subscribed for the paper, it came in due time to the shop. While resting one noou, and looking over it, I saw an adver tisement of the county commissioners to let a bridge that was to be built. I nut in a bid for the bridge, and the ioh was awarded to me, on which I cleared 300, which enabled me to pay ior my house and lot easily, and for the news paper. If I had not subscribed for the newspaper, I would nave known nothing about the contract, and could not have met the payment on my house and lot. A mechanic never looses anything by tak ing a couoty paper. Sleep-Walkers. A gentleman in Illinois writes the fol lowing to the Scientific American: "My observation led me to believe that sleep-walking is a habit ot lhe system. "I have noticed that children who are allowed to go to sleep on the floor or lounge, in the evening, and aftherward, at some regular hour, are aroused (ot course only partially awakened) aud sent to bed, will in time acquire the nauit 01 tieep walkiu I have no doubt that the man meotioued in the Scientific American of Julv 22J. who would get up d go to the cellar for a drink of wine while asleep had been in the habit of Grst going for it in the night time while awake. I pre sume that the few have failed to notice how soon the mind, by dreams, will re cognize a habit of waking at a 'particular time for any purpose. "I think that the whole philosophy of sleep walking has it foundation in habit, acquired by disturbance at some regular hour for sleep." At Raltimore, on Friday, ex-Deputy Collector Dowerman, convicted of embez zlement, was sentenced to a fine of $23-16.-72 aud costs and four years' imprison ment in the city jail. Ex-Deputy Collec tor Wilsou, convicted of the same crime, was sentenced to a fine of $3180 aud costs aud three years' imprisonment. STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY, PA., NOVEMBER Perkins lias the Toothache. BY CYRUS D. PERKINS. When I went to bed that night, I ap prehended trouble. Along one jaw, the left one, occasionally capered a grumbling sensation. It kept me awake an hour or so trying to determine whether that was all there was of it, or whether there was something to come after, that would need my wakeful presence to contend against. Thus pondering, I fell asleep, and forgot all about the trouble. I don't kuow how long I slept, but I fell to dreaming I had made a match for 650 a side to fight a cross cut saw in a steam mill, aud was well to work on the job,'1 when the saw got my head between its teeth. I thought this was a favorable time to wake up, and I did so. It immediately transpired that I might better have stayed where I was, and taken the chances with the saw. I found myself sitting straight up in bed with one hand spasmodically grasp ing my jaw, aud the other swaying to and fro without any apparent cause. It was an awful pain. It shot round like a dog that had been cruelly cam phened. Jt bored like lightning through the basement of of my jaw, darted across the roof of my mouth, and then ran lengthwise of my teeth. If every pang had been a drunken plough chased by a demon across a stump lut, 1 think the observer would understand my condition. I could no more get het hold of the fear ful agony that was cavorting around in me, tlian I could pick up a piece of wet soap when in a great hurry. Suddenly it stopped. It went, giving nie a parting kick that fairly made, rue howl. I thought I was rid of the teethache, but a grumbling set in next morning. It was just like the feeliug of the night be fore ; and a still voice .faid to me, "Look out, Perkins." I did. I went right away to the dentist who has pulled the teeth of our family and knew our peculiarities There was an uneasy smell about his ofSce. It was very suggestive of trouble, and as I snuf fed it in I experienced a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. I looked at him, and sickly smiled. He was never, even on a holiday, the handsomest of men,butnow his appearance was very,very depressing. lie looked like a corpse with a lighted candle inside of it. 1 told him what the matter was with me, how that I had been up all night with a fourstory pain ; how my wife had been thrown out of bed by the violcucc of my suflering ; how He asked me if I wouldn't sit down. I sat down ou what wa3 once a hogshead, but now cut down and newly carpeted. He held back my head, opened my mouth, and went to fishing arouud inside with a watch spring. . And while he angled, he conversed. Said he : 'You have caught a terrible hard cold." "I have." "It seems the trouble is with one of the bicuspids." Of course 1 didn t know what a bi cuspids was, but I thought it wouldn t look well in the head ol the Jamily being struck with so short a word as that, so I asked, with some vigor : 'Which one ?" "The tumorous," said he. "I am jrlad it aiu't any worse," I re plied, throwing a sigh cf relief. "lhe frontal boue is not seriously at- fected. The submaxillary gland is some what enlarged : but it does not necessarily follow that parotitu.s will ensue." "I am proud to hear that," said, I, which I certaiuly was, although if tho parotitis had ensued it is not at all like ly that I should have minded it much, unless It was something that would spill, as I was dressed up in my best. He kept on talking and angling. "The esophagut ius't loose," he next remarked. "Ah," said I. winking at him. "Oh no, the ligaments arc quite firm. I might say " "Did it hurt you ?" he asked, as cool and clam as the lid of an ice cream free zer. "Hurt me ! Great Heavens, did you expect to split me open with a watch spring, and not have it hurt me? What was the matter did you slip ?" "Certaiuly not," he said, 'I was simp ly getting hold of the. tooth. Just hold your head back an instant, and I will have it out at once." , . "I guess I wont , try it again," paid I, with a fdiiver. - "The toothache is bad enough, but it is heaven alongside of that watch spring, ion may come up some time, and pull it out when I ain't at home. I think I could endure the operation if I was off about eight blocks, omc up when you cau." Election Bet.

A WOMAN ON THE BENCH. The Great Joke of Wyoming How the Wags Served Mrs. Judg3 Morris' Hus bandA Wife Committing her Spouse. My last gave in brief the history of the passage of the Woman's Suffrage act in Wyoming. I will now give some ol the practical workings of woman suffrage and woman office holding. The first action taken uudcr the provisions of this law was the appointment by the Secretary, as acting . Governor, of Mrs. Ester Morris, of South Pass City, as a Justice of the Peace, for Sweet water county. Mrs. Morris qualified, "remitted the usual fee of 65" to the Secretary, aud entered up on the duties of her office. Nothing un usual occurred for some days ; everybody was satisfied with the new Justice, and the new Justice with everybody. One day, however, the wine of bitterness was mixed in her cup of bliss, and notwith standing her womauly aud wifely feeling, she was compelled to drink it. ller bet ter half, who was now left in charge of the domestic department of the firm, had previous to his retirement to the sweets of domestic life, occasionally taken a so cial glass with his friends. Taking ad vantage of this weakness, soma friends waited unoa Mr. M orris one day. - - and having made Mr. Murris drunk, led him into a breach of the peace, then hastened to the Esquire's office and lodged a com plaint with her Honor against her Honor's "liege lord and master," that used to be, and demanded a warrant for his arrest. Mrs. Justice hesitated a moment on the banks of this' woman's Rusicon, but like Caesar she was equal to the emergency, aud promptly crossed into her lord's dominions, and her former master was dragged befor her for trial. Mr. Morris' head was not sufficiently clear to comprehend the situation. He began to assert his sovereign rights in contempt of court, until suddenly brought up by the officer in obedience to the Court's order. Seeing that things had changed somewhat, and that Othello's oc cupation had been at least suspended, he began to expostuate first with the officer, uutil informed by that functionary that he had no discretion, but was acting uu der orders from the Court. "Who is the Court (hie)?" inquired Mr. Morris. On being iuformed that the occupant of the bench was the Judge, Mr. Morris looked at the Justice with a puzzled air, scratched his heal in an ef fort to collect his scattered thoughts, and ejaculated, "ller her (hie) she is that's Esther my wife Esther you're drunk, or oh, don't bother me (hie)," aud he started to go. 'Lock up the prisoner for contempt of court," said Mrs. Morris to the officer. "What have you you to say about it, eh ?" blurted out Mr. Morris, staggering menacingly toward the Judge. "You will find I have all to say about it. Otficer lock him up," replied her Honor. Although badly mixed, Mr. Morris be gan to get a glimmer of the truth, and began a parley : "Now look here, Mr. Officer, don't you be in a hurry. I didn't mean anything wrong. I want to just talk with my wife a minute. Now, Esther, what's the use of fooliu'; you jist git down out o' there and go home and behave yourself. I'll tend to this little difficulty myself. Now along, the baby wauts nursing I had to give it Mrs. Wiuslow to get it to sleep when I came down. He's hungry. for he won t use that old bottle, and i don't blame him cither. The dishes ain t washed, nor the beds made, neither. And what's more, I ain't goiu' to do it l I .1 i XT any more, now. lou near mat. now start alcnr." Ry the time Mr. Morris had delivered himself of this, his tone had charged as his feelings warmed from that of expos tulation to that of command again, and the officer forced him iuto the rudely constructed lock up in the rear of her Honor's court,-nud there Mr. Morris was left to reflect upon the situation, and gaze upon the dividing wall between him self and wife as the dividing line between man's and woman's rights under this new dispensation. On the following morning Mr. Morris was arraigned before her llouor, aud in the most sober and subdued manner, and with the ' deepest, humiliation, pleaded guilty, asked the pardon of the Court for contempt, and then awaited his sentence with humility and resignation. After giving the prisoner a Caudle lec ture as amended by the laws of Wyom ing, her Honor imposed the usual fine aud required the prisoner to give bends to keep the peace, upon which the Court gallantly offered to let him go, and Mr. Morris vanished. Disasters never comes singly. From Bangor, Maine, we have the news of a sudden freshet iu the i'euobscot River, the stream having risen niue feet in twenty-four hours, causing immense destruc tion of property. It is estimated that five million logs uear Oldtown have brok en from their moorings and are strewn along the shore, great numbers of which will be lost to their owners. The trains the Maine Central Railroad have been ob structed and it is feared that much damage will Le cause 1 to bridges and other property.

Aud it's no new thing uuder the sun. It has been presented in a great variety of forms by all authors of children's primers, from Mother Goose to Edward Lear. For in stance, witness the followiug exposition of it : "The nionkcv married the baboon's sister, Smacked his lips, and then he kissed her, Kissed so hard he raised a blister She sot up a yell." Thi3 is a touching incident in the beautiful process of transition from worm to Wallace from dirt to Darwin. The intermarriage between correlated families; the reciprocal attachment so interesting to the thoughtful mind: the pathetic thoughtful preliminary of osculation ; the cuticular accident of vesication ; his fervency ; her coy affection of displeasure all, .all point with unerring finger to the mysterious origin and solemn destiny of man. Again, observe the continuance of this resem blance, as shown in the same familiar poem : "Bridegroom stuck on some court plaster ; Stuck so fast it couldn't slick faster ; O, it was a sad disaster lint it soon got well." Here you arc aiiain. These be human passions, affections . and ufdictious. We see the praiseworthy solicitude of the" bridcirroom : the faithful coustaucv of the court plaster ; and behind all, cunningly suggested, rather than stated, the uncom- plaining patience of the young wife Then the slow recovery. Hut we must not linger : "What d'ye think the bride was drest in ? White gauze veil rnd green giass breast p in ; She did look quite interesting She was quite a belle." The scene is changed. The cohesive emolicnt has been removed from the saluted lip. The bride, though of Simian origin, betrays the divine symbol of her sex the taste for decoration. She robes her lovely form iu transparent gossamer, revealing by concealing. She ornaments her undulating bust with a sapphire gaud just the way they do now. Is it not sufficiently obvious that the author of this understood the great principle of natural selection and the survival of the Sghtist, as it is now cxlpaincd by Darwin, Huxley and the rest. Dut, on arriving at the blunt termina tion of the adectiug stanzas, it occurred to U3 that they were incomplete that they were, as it were, rudimeutury so we handed them oveiv to our ingenious office boy to finish according to the evolu tion theory. He pulled up his shirt col lar, rolled up his eyes and sleeves, spasmodically seized a sheet of paper and weuded his winding way along alter the following fashion : What d'you think occurred soon arter? First a son and then a darter ; i And shcy kept a growing smarter 'Cordin to the law. Lost their tails and found their knowledge ; Put on clothes and went to college ; Studied science and zoolige Wagged a cl.is.-ic jaw. One remembered his "poor relation," Then he printed a narration, All about his derivation From his gi$iu!mjH?ma. Thus much thMioy. Then he fainted dead away, like Prof. John Tyndall, F. R. S., when he surniouuted the highest peak of the Mattcrhorn. We dragged the youth to the Mnk and sprinkled him with the water the "formes" had balhed in, and he sadlv opened his eyes. "How are you V said wc. To which vehemently the lad replied : "Walter Whitman ain't no poet, lie never caught nothing from the Muses 'ccpt the St. Yitus's dance." Wc let him warble on seeing that his mind was waudermg. lut here arc our subsequent meditations. "Larwm is ri"ht. We are what we are because the monkey married the baboon's sister ' A Keen Reply. Lecnl bullies who ask women imper tincut questions in the witness box, ought to get their deserts, as uia me solicitor sreneral the other day in the celebrated Tichhorne ease in England. The witness was a eoverucss, who had formerly been employed in the Tiehborne family. Governesses in England are generally regarded as beings who are made to b snubbed and insulted. So the solicitor- general snubbed and insulted tins one, while she was testilying to the identity nf the claimant to the richborne estate with the young heir as she knew him twenty years before. At hist she had chance at him which she did not hesitate to improve. "Was the young man always polite to ladies V asked the solictor gcn cral. "lie was, indeed, polite toward ladies." replied the governess ; aud with a well understood emphasis she added, "tfentlemen, I believe, always are eo The court room burst into a loud laugh, and the eolictor-genral turned red in tho face. A man in Georgia recently received a letter euclosinir thirty cents in fractional curreucv. aceompauied with the words : "I stole a feed of corn from you duriug the war."

HH.aM The Philadelphia DUjmtch thus relates how a female was calumniated, and the re sults : A week or two ago one of our reporters had occasion to refer to a certain woman, whom we will call Hannah Smith, as a denizen of the 11th Ward. A day or two afterward, a huge man entered the office with his brow clothed with thunder. Iti his hand he carried a fearful club, and at his side trotted a bulldog whom hunger evidently had made desperate. With the fearlessness of conscious innocence we sat still, merely inserting our legs in two sec tions of stovepipe, to guard against mis apprehensions of facts oa the part of the bulldog The man with the club ap proached. "Are you the editor?" he asked, spit ting on his hands and grasping the club! Wc told him that the editor was out ; that he had gone to the North Pole with Capt llall.and he would not return before 1870), in time Tor the ccutcnnial celebration. "Are you the proprietor V asked the man. Wc explained to him that we were nof; that the proprietors were also cut ; that they had gone to South America for the purpose ot investigating the curative pro perties of cuadurango, and they ex pected to remain there for several years. "Well, whoever you are," exclaimed the warrior, "my name is Smith !" Wc told him we were glad ; because, if there was any one thing better than the possession ot tue name ol fcmitb, it was the privilege of knowing a man of that came, "liut omitu, we said, "why this battle array ? It S3 absurd for a man to put on the panoply of war and frisk into editors' sanctums fumbling a clab and accompanied by a disheartening bulldog, simply because his name happens to be Smith." He said he called iu to burst the head' of the man who had insulted his sister. "It is impossible, Smith, that such a thing could have been done by any one in this office." "It is? But it was, though ; and her uame was published, too Miss Smith Miss llanner Smith." "May we be permitted to inquire, Mr. Smith, what was the precise character of the affront offered to Hannah '" "Well, you see," said Smith, "the blackguard said she was a denizen. And' I want you to understand," exclaimed Smith, becoming excited, and brandish iug his club in a wild manner over our head, while the bulldog advanced and commenced tosniff up and down our stove pipe "I want you to understand that she is a decent young woman, with a good character aud none cf your deuizens and such truck. The man who says she is a denizcu is a blackguard and thief, and I'll smash him over the nose if I get the chance. They may say what they plcaso about me, but the man who abuses my sister has got to suffer !" And Smith struck the table in a violent manner with- his club, while the bulldog put his fore leg on the back of our chair. We pacified Smith with a dictionary. Wc pointed out to that raging warrior that the Websterian definition of the world "denizen" gives such a person au unoffending character, and deprives the. term of everything like reproach. Smith said he was satisfied and he shook hands and kicked the bulldog down stairs. A Deserted Wife. The Detroit Free Press tells a lamenta ble story cf a husband's perseverance and 1 wile s unrequited love. Such things ire not so uncommon as to warrant any- particular uoticc, but the husband's per sistence was so remarkable and so suc cessful that it takes the case out of tha ordinary. Mr. Messenger, of Illinois, lately married a girl about 15 years old,, and on account of some vague rumors which tended to show that he was a bigamist, he took his pet wife from the West towards the East, tenderly asking her on the road what she would do if he should abandon her, how she would make a living, aud putting other unnatural queries to her. Strange to say, her sus picious were aroused, and when the cou ple come to Dctriot, she would not leavo her husband alone for au instant. Such trcatmeut made him despondent, and the two retired together for the night, the lady lockiug the door and putting the key under her pillow. Iu the dead waste and middle of the night, poor Mrs. Messenger was awakened by feeling her husband for he key ; he was dicssed and ready to depart. She sobbed aud prayed, and the gentleman, apparently relenting, return ed to his couch, when his wife, having first hidden the key under the mattress, tied his wrist to hers with a handker chief. The lady watched lor awhile, but the drowsy god was too much for her, and when she awoke she found that her rest less husband had united himself, drefed, torn the bed quilt into strips, and using these as a rope had desccuded from tho window, re-entered the hotel, paid his half of the bill, taken his baggage and departed, leaving her alone in tho wide, world.
