A PRAYER.
t When before my spirit’s eye
4>reams and fancies flicker by,
If earth’s scenes, so bright and gay,
Tempt my soul from thee to styay,
Bv thy Spirit, may I b£
Drawn, my Saviour, nearer thee.
If .ground my chequered way,
Aught would fill me with dismay,
If temptations, like a flood,
Seek to drive me from my God;
E’en that moment let me flee,
Rearer, Jesus nearer thee.
Thou dost know my feeble frame:
(Thou unchangeable the same)
Thou didst feel the tempter’s power
In bis darkest, fiercest hour, '
Thou didst die that I might be.
By thy cross drawn near to thee.
May thy love constrain my heart;
Let me n^.er from thee depart:
Ne’er thy Holy Spirit grieve;
Ne’er the living waters leave.
Hold me Saviuur! let me be
Every eveniug nearer thee*

A Touching Incident in the Life
of a Distinguished Violinist.
One beautiful summer day there was
a great festital in the large park at
Vienna This parlf is called by the
people the Prater. It is full of lovely
trees, fine walks anti little pleasu
houses. At the time jof wbiph I am
spea^-iiig it w^s algi- st covered with
crowds of people. Among a number
of organ grinders, beggars and the girls
who played oh harps there stood an old'
musician He had once been a sohlier,
but his pension was not enough to live:
on. Still, he did not like to beg; there
foie, on this particular festival day, he
t.»ok his violin and played under a tree,
in the park. He had a faithful dog
with him, which lay at his fee land held
a ha in Lis mouth, so that passers-by
might cast coins >nio it.
On the day which I have just men
tioned the dog sat before him with the
old hat. Many people wenj, bj, and
hea’d the musician playipg, but' they
did not help him much. I vvouder the
people did not give him more, for he
was truly q pf^jable object. His face
was covered with scars received iu his
country’s battles, and he wore a long
gray coat, which he had kept ever since
he l-.al been in the army. Lie even bad
his old sword by his side, for he wonld
not walk in the street without carrying
his trusty friend with him. He had
only three fingers on his right hand,
so that he held the bow with difficulty.
A bullet had taken off the two tjtfiprs,
and almost at the same timp ^ cannon
ball hail taketio(f his lefj. lpg. ’fhe last
money he |iad, bad been spent in buy
ing nety strings fcj his violin, and he
was now playing with all his strength
the mUnafy air fie had learned when a
boy with his father. He looked sad
enough as he saw the multitude pass
by in their strength, and youth and
beauty ; for he knew that if be did not
obtain sum; money that evening he
would have 10 go to bed supperless.
His dog was better off, for he sometimes
found a bone here and there to satisfy
the cravings of hunger. ’’
It was iaie in the afternoon, the musi
cian’s hopes were f.bnost like the sun—
they were bot^ going down together,
and he placed' his violin down by his
side, arid leaned against the trees, the
tears streaming down his cheeks. He
thought none of that giddy crowd saw
him; but he was mistaken. Not far off
stood a gentleman in fine clothes, who
had a kind heart; and when he saw
that no one gave the soldier anything,
he was touched with smypathy. Go
ing 10 the dog, and looking into the hat,
he saw only two small copper coins (p
it. He iben v said, ‘My flood friend,
whv do yoi( flot play longer?’
*0,’ replied the old man, ‘my dear sir,
I cannot; my arm is so tired that I can
not hold the bow; besides I have had
no dinner, and J (ibye little prospect of
supper.’ ' .
The stranger resolved to ajdj him as
best he could • a,rrd giving, him a piece
of gold, said, ‘I will pay you if you
will lend me'your violin for an hour.’
‘O,’ said the musiciah,’ ^his ptece of
money is worth more than half a doz
en fiddles like mine.’
‘Never mind,’ said the stranger; ‘I
only want 10 hire it one hour.’
‘Very well;. you can do what you
will,'* said the owner.
The gentleman took the fiddle and
the bow in his hands; and then said,
‘Now, you take the money, and I will
play. I am quite sure the people will
! give me something.’
The first aii; bad not been finished
before the people, observing the strange
sight, and h aring beautiful music, stop
ipecl a ijjpmeijt in curiosity. Every one
Uaw that the fine looking stranger was
playing for the poor man, but none
knew who he wap. Bj and by the
people began drop money into the
jbat, ! and;tMi dog; seemad delighted to
ireceive so many pieces < f goldj f<?r: his
master. The circle of hearers became
larger and larger. Even the,coachmen
of the splendid carriages bfsggpdl the
people inside tQ,a!op-<md bear the mu
sic. Still the money increased. Gold,
silver and copper were thrown into the
hat by old and young. The dog now
began to growl. What could be the
matter? One gentleman, as he drop
ped a large piece of money into the hat
bad struck him on the ncse, and he
came very near letting all the money
’fail. But the hat soon became so heavy
that he could not hold it any longer.
• ‘Empty your hat, pld man,’ said the
people, ‘and we will fill it again for
you.’
He pulled OUI a handkerchief and-
wrapped the money in it and put it iu
his violin
The gtranger kept on playing, and:
the people cried out, ,Bravo ! bravo!’
He p!aye4 first one tune and fihen an-:
other. The children seemed carried
off with delight. At last he played
.‘God bless theEmperor Francis!’ All
hats and caps now off their heads, for
the people loved their Emperor. The
music came to an end; the hour was
ended anG I he performer handed back
the violin to tha happy and delighted
old man.
‘Thank you,’ said the gentleman.
‘May God bless you !’ and he disap
peared in the crowd.
‘W ho is he ?’ cried the people.
A certain person sitting in one of the
coaches said: ‘I know him; it is
Alexander J3oucher, the distinguished;
violinist. It is just like him; he saw
that the poor musician needed help,
and he has helped him to good purpose*
The people then gave three cheers
for Boucher, and put more money in
the hai? ft's owner we of home that;
evening richer than b.e had ever been
before. When he went tc his bed, he
folded his hapds and prayed that God
might ‘bfess good IR>ijcJier,’ so thaf,
when he should oecome old, he too
t have a friend to help him. "'N. .
Called to Fkeaoh.—Thp papers!
ill a story of a member of the—
persuasion, who, ambitious of ministe
rial honors, was praying in the woods
for some divine manifestation of a call
to preach. While so engaged a John
Donkey set up one of those cries for
which his race is peculiar, which Wal
ker mistook for an affirmative reply tot
his appeal. Whereupon he applied
for license, when the following colloquy
occ jrred between him and the inlerroga
ting preacher:
Pastor—‘Do you believe, brother,
Walker, that yefp are called of God to
preach,-as was Aaron?’
VValker—‘Most sartainly I does.’
fl',—‘Give the church, that is, the
bretherin, the proof.’
.—‘I was mightily diffikilted, and I
was determined to go itilb the woods
and wrastle it out.’
P.—‘That is ir, brother Walker. 1
W.—‘And while th^r wrastlin,’ Ja
cob like, I hern one of the curiousest
voices I ever hear in my born days.’
P.—‘You are on the right track,
Bro. Waiter, (jo on wjtb the ti^rra-
pon ’
W.—‘I coqltln’t tell, for the life o’ me,
wheatfier the voiqe vya’s up in the air of
d'-wn in the it sounded curious.’
P.—‘floor creature! how he was
diffjkilted, Go on to narrate, Brother
Walker. How did it appear to sound
unto you ?’
W.—‘Why, this way: Waw waw-
ker! Waw-waw-ker! Go preach,
go preach, go preach, go preach, ah, go
preach, ah-ee uh ah-ee-ah; 1
P—‘Bruthering and sisters that’s the
right sort of a call. Enough said,
Brother Walker. That’s none of your
college calls. No doctor of divinity
ever got sech a as that. Brother
Walker im>Si have a license fur sartin
and for sure.’
The license was granted, so the story
goes, and Walker is now, doubtless
making the mouotainsrng with his
torian lungs.
Dirt Scientifically Considered.
-Oid Dr. Cooper, of South Carolina, used
to say to his students, ‘Don’t be afraid
of dirt, young gentleman. What is
dirt?—Why, nothing at all offensive,
when chemically viewed. Bub a little
alkali upon a thirty grease spot on your
coat, and it undergoes $ chemical
channge and becomes sojap, novf rub
it with a little water and it disappears,
it is n-ither grease, soap, water nor dirt.
That is a very odorous pile of dirt you
see yonder; well, cattera little gypsum
over it and it is no longer dirty. Every
thing like dirt is worthy of your notice
tis students of chemistry. Analyze it.

Dirt makes corn, corn makes bread and
meat, and that makes a very sweet la
dy that I saw one of you kissing last
night. §0 after all, you were kissing
dirt—particularly.if she whitened her
skin with chalk or Fuller’s earth. There
is no telling, young gent'emen, what is
earth : though I may say that rubbing
such stuff upon the beautiful skin of a
young lady, is a dirty practice. Pearl

man can bea.laijy who can wound or

may be, she is, in reality, coarse, and
the innate vulgarity of her nature man

courteous and polite treatment of all
persons is one mark of a true woman.’

Josh Billins’ Female Remarks.
P -ir (LVI V are" you in searsh or a
husband
Tnis .is # bumper, and you are not
required to say ‘JTes’bi^ii ldud^but yojt
are expected tew tbroyy youreyei.dToitrn
unto the earth, a? tho yu was IoOkiifg
for a pin, and reply to the interroga
tory with ^ (tind of draulin sight, az
though yu was eating an oyster r juide
and all, off from the half shell. .
Not tew press such a theme until it
begums a thorn in the ffesh, we will
presume (to avoid argument) that yop
are on the lookout for sumthing in the
male line teiy boost you in the up V/ v .
of life, ai)d to keep his eyes on th’e
breeching when you begin to go down
on the other side of the mountain.
Let me give you sum small chucks
advice how tew spot yure fewterhpy-
band;
1. The man who isjealcus of every
little attensliun which yu git from sufn
other fellow, yu will find after yu are
married to him, luvs himself more than
he duz yu, an^ what you mistook .for
solisitude, you will diskover has chang
ed iijto indifference. Jellousy isn’t a
heart discease, but a liver complaint. ‘
2. A mustash is not indispensable;
it ii only u little i^ore hair, and iz a
good deal like moss and other excres 1 -
cences—often does the best on site that
won’t raise anything else. Dont forgit
that those things which yu adniire ih a
fellow before marriage yu will probalfr
ly have tew admire in a husband after,
and a mustash will git tew be verjr
weak diet after a long time. ' *
3. If husbands could be took on triali
az Irish cooks are, two-thirds ov them
would be returned; but there doq|t
seem to be epy law for this. Therek
fore, girls, yu will see that aftef yu git
a man, yu have got tew’kefep, evenejF
yq lose on him. Consequently, ef y4
have got any kold vittles in the house,
try him on’em once in a while, during
scouring season, and ef he swallers
them well, and sez he will take some
more, be iz a man who jyhen Blue
Monday cums will wash well. f
4. Don’t ujarry a pheller who is al
ways a telling how bis mother du£
things. It is az hard tew suit these
men as it iz tew wean a young one.
5 r Jf a young man kentbeatyu play;
ing on a pianner, and kan hear a fish
horn playing in the street without
turning a back summersett on account
of the music that iz in him; I say ship
him; be might answer tew tend babe
but if yuset hipa boeing your &»rd&£
will find that y'ctu have ^got tew do it
yourself. If man ‘wfioze whole heft
ties in musick [and not very hefty tft
that] qipt no better for a hdsbahd tbaft
seed-1 itz pqwcjgr, but if he luvs to lis
ten while yu. sing sum gentle ballud,
you \y(li £nd him mellow and no soft.
Rut don’t marrye anybody for just onq
virtew, enny quicker than yu would
flow a rnan for one fault. r
6. It iz one of the most tuffest thing)
for a female tew be an old maid suc
cessfully. A great menny hez tried i|
and made a bad job ov it, Everybody
looks upon old mades jnst as they QQ
upon dried yarbs—in tile garrett, han
dy for sickness—and therefore r girls, i|
ain,f a mistake th^t yu should be wil
lin' to sWop yourselph oph wit!) 8.qtU9
trew pheilow for q husbaRtj, Tfio
swop is a good one, but don't sWop for
nny man who is rCspekted jist because
lis father iz. You had better be an old
maid 4 thousand years, and then joi£
the Shakers than to buy repentance at
this price. No woman ever made this
fade whodid’ntgit either a phool, a
mean cuss or a clown for a husband.
J. In digging down into thjs subject
I find the digging grows harder the
further I git. It is much easier teijf’in;
fqrnp yq who not tew marry than whq
tew, for the reason th&te more ov
them.
I don’t think yu will, foller my ad
vise, if I give it; and therefore, I wil)
keep it’jfor I look upon it like casteijle-a
mean dose to give, and a meqn dose to
take.
Hut I must say one thing, girls; lor
spite. If yu can find a bright—eyed,
healthy and well baliosted boy looks
upon poverty as sassy az a child looks
upon wealth-who had rather sit down
on the curb stun, in frunt ov the 6th
avenue hotel, and eat a hamsanwitch
than tew go inside and ran in debt for
hiz dinner and tooth pick—one who iz
armed with that kind ov pluck that
mistakes a defeat for a victory, my ad
vise i^ to tal^e him, body and soul m
anafe. bun, at; oast, for he iz a strait trout
of a breed very skase ip, our waters.,
^uke him, I say, au<^ bjld unto hir^ as
homats ‘ bild oqto a tree.—^ ^
