These words in careless moods I read, In careless mood I turned away ; But still in every thought and deed, Through every moment of the day, There rang these words that I had read : "Give us this day our daily bread.". I Give us, O Father! we are poor; Our strongest efforts naught avail : We know by sad and weary toil That Thy strength only can prevail. We bring no gold, but cry instead, "Give us this day otir daily bread." Xot food for others, Lord, we ask, To-day our thoughts are bent within ; We hungry ire, and at Thy throne, Repentant for each bitter sin, Ueliold we pray as thou hast said, "Give us this day our daily bread." Our yesterdays, or sad or bright, Are passed foreverniore away, To-morrow in Thy hand we leave; Hut with an aching heart we pray, Because we hunger to be lui, "Give us this day our daily bread." We cannot live on future food, The bread of yesterday is past: We need new strength each hour we live> And so to Thee v»"c come at iasl, And ask that we this day be fed With helpful, needful, daily bread. The way is rough ; our strength doth fail; We need Thy food to make its strong ; For bread of Heaven to hungry hearts We earnestly desire and long. Thy children guide as Thou hast said, And give us, Lord, our daily bread. Ted's Account of New Year's 'By the way,' said Mr. Samuel Gloss, I've a letter from little Ted; its quite a heavy one, you see, for a chap of ten; but I can't make out such a scrwl. Here, mamma, you read it.' Before Mrs. Gloss could reach out her band Uncle Joe, Mr. Gloss' bache lor. brother, interfered with, "let me have the boy's letter; I always did like that young scamp of yours.' After smiliug at the down-hill tend ency of the superscription, Uncle Joe soon became absorbed over the pages that began in text-hand, continued in spider tracks, and at last rose to the dignity of hieroglyphics. The Gloss family, tired out after the holiday season, were having a domes tic evening in the dining room. The library, artistically hung in old Spanish leather, lacked the embellishments that grow out of daily use, and oppressed one like a great bronze extinguisher; the long drawing room, the conven tional New York parlor, was too like a mammoth and splendid hearse toadmit or even its proprietors feeling at home in it. So about the dining table were gathered Papa and Mamma Gloss, the Misses Lou and Rosie (Bos, Mr. Sor ghum, a gentleman of many smiles and compliments, of many suits of fine clothing, of a dog cart, and gorgeous living generally, and Uncle Joe, un married, crusty and rich. There wus also young fellowcalled Fred Tremaine, but he was only a chap in papa's office at a small salary, though he had six feet of uncommonly good looks; still he was very modest. 'And no won dor,' as Lou whispered to Rosie, 'he ought to he. Twelve hundred a year, indeed.' Sorghum remarked in his sweptest tones, 'how seldom a poor dog of a bachelor like me has the chance of en joying a happy family gathering,' A sigh, carefully given out for only Rosie to hear, was a graceful hint of his dissatisfaction with a bachelor's existence. Mamma Gloss clasped her plump hands in a little ectasy, and answered: 'No one can have any idea of the peace and contentment of family life.' A smile both maternal and encouraging showed that Mr. Sorghum was an ap proved candidate for the position of son-in-law. Lou, who was clever, and had a lofty bearing, a marble white skin, and won derful rows of coal black scallops on her pretty forhead, made a properly in nocent and girlish comment on the bachelor's remark; hut Rosie, who was a confiding blonde with big gray eyes, said nothing, and kept on with her crochet work. Sorghum used inward ly a warm emollient of Wall street in vective, aud wished himself the Af ghan stripe that could so hold her at tention. Just then Charlie Hedge (the young stock brokerage firm was Hedge A Sorghum) dropped in, and nodding familiarly to his partner, joined the family circle by taking a place at Lou's side. He exclaimed: 'llow jolly! A regular boom in domestic evenings, eh, Miss Lou ? Now Uncle Joe was sixty at least, tall, grizzled, cleau shaven, heavy browed, with a cast iron look that seemed expressly made to withstand humbug, ami steel cold sharp eyes that could pierce the neatest coating of sham Having at last finished his reading, he sat awhile shading his face with his hands; then looked up sud denly, as if he had made up his mind to something, ea.it a searching and dis comforting glance around the table, and asked: 'Who would like to hear Teddy's letter V '|, ? sajd Sorghum, with the liveliest interest. 'Ted must be a capital boy. He's your brother.' (This last in an aside to Rosee.) 'Fine boy,' confirmed Hedge. 'Saw him here New Year's. So cheeky. Cheek is business capital. Ted will succeed. Let's have the letter.' 'I think my Teddy is very bright,' remarked Mrs. (Jloss, 'anil so I always keep him at school, where he has the best advantages.' 'Yes,' answered Uncle Joe, with an inscrutable intonation, 'the boarding school is such an advantage to a child of ten.' ,Oh, yes, undoubtedly,' sighed mam ma, with a pensive look at tin; diamonds ! 011 her nice fat fingers; 'end we moth ers sacrifice everything to the good of [ our dear children.' I Uncle Joe coughed neiaily, and then I asked : 'Are you all sure you want to hear the letter, an.l that you'll sit still until the end V ignite an amiable clamor of voices assented : so he began the epistle, which, grammatically aud orthographi cally ran in this wise: 'DEAR FATHER A MOTHER—Prof. Whacker gave us a subject for our first composition when we come bac after the holidays he said we must rite an account of new Years it put into it all we saw A herd wile we was home at New year time so i rote mine A yister day he gave it back to me with very good marked onto it A he sed for me nottoleve it Lyin roun luce Sol guess he thort it was pretty good A i guess I will send it to You so as you see i make some progress I brush my teeth very carefull every nite A i am entirly out of pockit money your aff son. 'TEDHY.' A murmur of amused admiration went around, and every one composed himself with a smile for further listen ing. 'AN ACCOUNT OF NEW YEARS. 'Boys A gurls have fuu at Christmas and get presiuts in there stockings Ac but new Years times is foi grown folks chrismas eve children has lots of fun so i think Grown folks ort to have fun New years eve. I dont want to be mean about nothiu so I didnt answer back nothin to 1113* Sister 100 wen she called me a horrid troublesome boy for sittiu down in her room after dinner New years eve she was 'Skolding a little woman wot was a dresmaker and had brort a long tailed pink dres home somehow fixed up wrong and she had her hair all in little iron gridirons to make it skullup nice the next day.' Miss Lou flushed, then laughed aloud nervously to show that she enjoyed the joke. L T ncle Joe, without so much as a quiver of his bushy eyebrows, went on i 'Rosy was sittin with her feet kurled up under etiug candy and reding a story book in her room she sed go way Teddy and ma she was in her room having a row with Kamil the made about her does and she sed go way Teddy too, then I says were shall I go to, and she says you may go to the pluh and find your father.

'So I set down A looked at some pictures there was two men talking it i guess they didunt know me but they knovved niy sisters good kause one says Charlie, you go in for 100 if you can stand her temper A He go in for the blondy then we wi}l maljo the old man gloss scttil our bills ile brake her tem per if i get her says charlie A i will get more capatil for the Firm. 'blondy is meek A will stay at Home A not interfear with me i Guess says the other fellee any way we will share the profTets.' A funeral silence fell upon the room Hedge looked unnaturally child-like aud unconscious. Sorghum pulled his moustache over a bad imitation of a smile. 'then Father he after a good wile got up A put on his Cote to go home A just Out side the door of the club House a man said some thing to lather and father He said lots of Swear Word* that ain't allowed boys in professor Whacker's skdol Alt was all about a Settihnent 'And father said he Hadunt Got the money for it.

'ma says pa what do you think of vour chicker Biddvs and kissed him. 'Pa says hmmf! Aud we went Out aud he banged the frunt door.' Mr. Gloss used every wile to turn Uncle Joe's attention, hut he went 011 mercilessly ; 'Some of the Ladys we called on was old A some was yung. the ole ones moscly had no necks in their dresses A a good many had orfully pink cheeks A dirty eyes with black Sruudg under them.

His interrogatory, with bis tone, was a most emphatic declaration that there was no evidence. It was a thing which he had no right to sav, and which was a palpable usurpation of the province of the jury, for it was for the jury to say whether there was any evidence to justify a verdict of ac quittal or manslaughter. After these words of the Judge it was entirely evident that the jury were obliged to bring in a verdict of murder, and the Judge so knew it to be, and knew the effect of his words, for he retired to his private room and returned with the black cap in his hand before the jury came in. "I am absolutely satisfied with the defense, but Lere let rue refur to an other matter. Always after the ver dict of guilty is returned in England the elerk asks the prisoner if he has anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced. This was asked in an utterly inaudible tone. I didn't Lear it, and several barristers who were rearer to the clerk than I, told me they did not hear it. (.'OUNNKLI, CHOKEP OFF. O'Donnell didn't hear it. 1 say that absolutely. Immediately the Judge proceeded to pass sentence. After he concluded, the wardens on either side of O'Donnell, took hold of him to re move him to the prison down stairs— and my God, it is a prison ! O'Donnell then waived the wardens off and asked the Judge if he might not say some thing. The Judge waived his hands to stop him, and the wardens seized him. O'Donnell had intended to make an ad dress, but, being cut short, he supposed it to be a trick to stop him. I shall never forget that moment. O'Donnell, untutored and ignorant, shook off his guards and stood as straight as a wall His eyes flashed the manhood that was in him He meant to show the world that he died game, and believing this to bo his last chance to signify his pur pose, as they were forcing him away, he fulminated the words with a clarion voice: "Three cheers for old Ireland ! Hurrah for the I'nited States! To h—l with the British Government!" Y"ou see he was but a rude man, but the impression he made was profound." ENdlilSII CONTEMPT F(\R AMERICA. If I had made application to be al lowed to plead for O'Donnell, I know it would not have been granted. They graut no courtesy to Ann rieau lawyers, and the English people generally hold Americans in the greatest contempt. In America we have always allowed English counsel the court?sy of plead ing A case in point was the Emma Mine case; but instances are too numer ous to mention. O'Donnell's counsel advised against any attempt on my part to appear for the prisoner. They said that the prejudice against Ameri cans was such that any Knglish jury would convict a man who had an American counsel. My observations proved the correctness of what they said." "It is time," he continued passionate ly, "that the American people ceased to crawl on their bellies to Englishmen. The English have only derision for an Englishmen who allows himself to be toadied to by Americans. Lord Cole ridge has sunk in the estimation of his countrymen, and has lost nine-tenths of the respect which the English people held for him. It is high time that we ceased to be a nation of 50,000,000 sycophants " —They had a "calico tea party" in Philadelphia last week. Calico tea is a new article.

A young wife in Michigan had just settled in her new home. All seemed fair and promising, for sin l did not know her husband was a drunkard. I>ut one night he eame home at a very late hour, and much the worse for liquor. When he staggered into the house his wife, who was very much shocked, told him he was sick and lie down at once; and in a moment or two he was comfortably on the sofa, in a drunken sleep. His face was red dish-purple, and altogether he was a pitiable looking object. The doctor was sent for in haste, and mustard applied to the patient's feet and hands. When the doctor came and felt his pulse, and examined him, and found he was only drunk, he said: 'He will be all right in the morn ing.' But the wife insisted that h«i was very sick, and that severe remedies must be used. on must shave his head and apply blisters,'she urged,'or I will send for someone who will.' The husband's head was according shaved close, and blisters were applied. The patient lay all night in a drunk en sleep, and, notwithstanding the blisters were eating into the flesh, it was not till near morning that he be gan to beat about, disturbed by pain. Abontdaylight he woke up to the most uncomfortable consciousness of blisteaed agonies. 'What does this mean?'he said, put ting his hands to his blistered head. 'Lie still; you mustn't stir," said his wife, 'you have been sick.' 'I am not sick.' 'Oh, yes, you are; you have the brain fever. We have worked with you all the night." 'I should think you had,' groaned the poor victim. What's the matter with my feet?' 'They are blistered.' 'Well, I am better now ; take off the blisters—do,' he pleaded piteous 'y- He was in a most uncomfortable state—his head covered wifcb sores, and his feet and hands still worse. 'Dear,' he said, groaning, 'if ever 1 should get sick in this way again don't bo alarmed and send for a doc tor; and, above all, don't blister me again.' 'Oh, indeed, I will! All that saved you were the blisters. And if you have another such spell, I shall be more frightened than ever; for the tendency, I am sure, is to apoplexy, and from the next attack you are hkely to die unless there are the severest measures used.' lie made no further defense. SuHice to say that he never had anolher attack. —(J olden Censer. Patrons of Husbandry. IIARRISBUBO, Dec. 13.—The ses sions of the State Grange Patrons of Husbandry to-day were devoted to the reception and discussion of reports of committees. The priucipal one was on the subject of legislation, which em braced a number of resolutions. They demand, first, that the conmon school law be so amended as to embrace in the rank of studies additional practical branches and other technical instruc tions pertaining to agriculture. Among the resolutions was the following : AN APPORTIONMENT DEMANDED. FIFTH. That we demand at the earliest practical moment that a just and fair apportionment be made, divid ing our State into districts of compact and contiguous territory, so that the people of the State may have equal and fair representation in the council of the nation and State Legislature. The Legislature, in neglecting to perform this important duty devolving upon them under th? Constitution they had sworn to support and for which they were specially convened by the Exe cutive of tbe State, merits our unquali fied condemnation. Theii indolence was only equalled by their greed. Had they manifested half the zeal and unan imity in the performance of theii con stitutional duty they did in securing compensation for non-performed service, their action would not be a reproach to the fair fame of our great Common wealth. SIXTH. Regarding our order a* a great educational and moral organiza tion, we unhesitatingly set our seal of condemnation upon intemperance, not only as an unmitigated evil mor ally, but a fruitful source of expense in the administration of justice. —An evil thought in the heart of a man who has a heart is about as trou blesome as a wasp in the ear. —lf you are planing a plan which involves dishonesty you had better chew the cud for a little and think about consequences. —There is no period in a fond moth er's lifts when she is happier than im mediately after the baby has success fully cut his Ist 2th. —No woman can do her duty in fashionable society until she has learn ed how to pull a number four glove on a number six hand. —A man's brain weighs three and a half pounds. A woman's is somewhat lighter, but of finer quality. That is what enables her to taste lard in her neighbor's pastry. —There is an old proverb which says; "You cannot get more out of a bottle than was put into it." This is a mistake. A nnm can get all that was put in the bottle, and thirty days as well. —At a recent swell ball a lady ap peared in a now Berlin toilet, and {im mediately upon her entrane merriment reigned supreme, She had on her dress the wrong way, with the "pouf' in front. —lt is a sight worthy of an artist's crayon to see a woman talking through a telephone to her grocer three miles awav, stamping hor foot, and shaking her fist as though the poor man was quailing before her.
