A Model Prayer.
To the. Editor of The Gazette*:
Were you over at church nn 1 afraid to
look at the preacher for fear of laughing?
Well, ifyou hare not, 1 have. I know
you have seen a great deal in state, well
as in church.
But to the prayer. 1 once went home
w ith a gentleman from church, where the
preacher (Itev. John IT. Caldwell)
boarded. His custom was to preach to
the colored people in the evening, ami lie
invited me to go with him to the church,
which I did. When wo arrived there
was a largo congregation, and an old
colored brother exorcising.
lie was blessed with the gift of contin
uance. Before ho got through, sovoiul
other gentlemen and ladies got to the
church, and as soon as this old brother
got through we walked in ; the preacher
to the pulpit and 1 to a seat near by. The
whites took back seats near the door.
But before the preacher got to the pulpit
there was another brother ready to oxer
rise, and commenced tu give out a hymn.
But the preacher said to him, "hold on,"
us the hour had arrived that he was to
preach.
He took his seat. The Reverend gen
tleman preached a short, practical, sen
sible sermon. And if he had his superiors
in those days, they did not go in droves.
At the dose of the sermon, the preacher
called on this brother to close by prayer,
which he did as fufii iws:
"(> Lord! mnssaGod. liabmussyon do
sinners in a berry spotdial manner; hub
in ussy oil my poor old mudder, 75 yc-rs
old, one foot in do grave, an’ tudder
ought not to be but. Lord! hang my
jaws on do hinges ob Heaven, my tongue
on do root ob salvation, an’ let me put on
do white robe ob Aaron, an' fly away to
Galilee, whar wo will hub do white milk
nu* honey; whar do sinner will be at do
debble an’ de Christian* will bo in Muses’
boStim. Den, O Lord! we will be berry
happy an’ feel we was off to Charleston,
early in do morning, afore do brake ob
day, an’ dare wo will hub plenty ob
lualusses an’ rice, an’ it will stick to our
ribs, an’ no oottoa to lino, nuffin to do
but to rest, an’ cat, an’ drink, an’ be
happy. But dis is anuff. Amen."
Then it was that I was afraid to look
towards the preacher for fear I would
laugh. But 1 know wo did laugh after
we i ante out of church.

A Smart Boy.
A Brownsville young man called on his
intended the other evening and while
waiting for her to make an appearance ho
struck up a conversation with his intend
ed brother-in law. After awhile the boy
asked:
“Does galvanized niggers know very
much?"
“I really can’t say," answered the
amused young man; silence reigned fora
few moments, when t-hoboy resumed:
"Well, km you play checkers with your
nose?”
■■. No. 1 have not acquired that accom
plishment."
"'Well, \ ou’d better learn. You hear 1
me?"
•Why?"
“’Cause, sis says yor don’t, know as)
much as a galvanized nigger, but yer j
dad’s got lots o’ stamps, and she'll marry
you anyhow; and she said when -he got j
ahold of tlic old man’s shugar she was
agoin’ to all the Fourth of July nereesh- !
uiis and ice cream gutu sucks, and lot you
stay at homo to play checkers with that
hollyhock nose o' yourn.’’
And when “sis" got her hair banged
up and came in she found the parlor be
set ted by all save her brother, who was
innocently tying the tails of two kittens
l*ltt|JreraiM sieging, "O, 1 love the Sab-

Home, or to retine, civil 120, tame and
Harmonize some rude brother making
ntm gentle, affectionate and lovable. It
is a least to even look at such a joy in
spiring girl, and see the smiles flowing, so
to speak, from her parted lips, displaying
a set of clean, well brushed teeth, looking
almost tho personification of beauty and
goodness; singing as merry as the birds
that commenced their morning concert
long boforo the lazy boys dreamed that
the sun was approaching and about
to pour a whole flood of light and warmth
upon the earth.— Ex.
French Household Economy.
The French butcher separates the
bones from his steaks, and places them
where they will do the most good. The
housewife orders just enough for each per
son and no more, oven to the coffee. If
a chance visitor drops in, then some
body quietly retires and She extra cup is
so provided, but nothing extra by care
lessness or inattention. When the pot
has boiled, tho handful of charcoal in the
little range is extinguished and waits for
another time. No roaring cook stoves
and red-hot covers all day long for no
purpose but waste. The egg laid to day
costs a little more than tho one laid last
week. Values are nicely estimated, and
the smallest surplus is carefully saved. A
thousand little economies are practiced,
and it is respectable to practice them.
Cooking is an economical as well ns sani
tary and gustatory science. A French
cook will make a franc go as far as an
American housewife will make three,
how much farther than tho American
Bridget nobody knows-wo should prob
ably he greatly astonished, could the
computation he made, much of the finan
cial, rccuiierativo power of France is ow
ing to her soups and cheap food; better
living, after nil, than tho heavy bread
and gre ray failures of our culinary igno
fanee'.'— Exchange.
It was Grant who stirred up those as
saults on corruption, as we learn Irotn the
Cincinnati Times, and !t is he who de
serves credit for such advantages as may
accrue irotn them. Who can doubt it?
Look at his decided action against Sc -or
llobbersou. Look how he fell upon
Selionck, two or throe years after he had
found out ail üboul tin Emma tuino lo - , -
in London. Jaiok at the remarkable way
in which ho assisted in tlio exposure an 1
prosecution of Babsock during the St.
Louis whiskey trials. Look at his high
toned course in the. Belknap buniuess,
when he sent him a letter regretting his
resignation. Look how he dealt with
Brother Orvil, when he ascertained now
Orvil was running the Indian posts which
he had got for him. Look how lio is
waging war against Boss Shepherd; how
he is determined t:> got hold of the s ilk
burglars; how he is stimulating Bristow
to further activity ; how he is urging and
helping the investigating committee of
Congress to get at the bottom facts of all
(lie rascalities in his administration. Can
anybody be so blind as not. tc see all around
the evidences of Grant’s cnergetio cam
paign against every kind of corruption?
His friends may fall; bo cares not His
party and administration may be shown
up; but what of it, when the country is to
be saved ? He himself may be found out;
but even that is merely a passing incident
of his sclf-sacrilicitig struggle. It is a
great thing to see Grant directing this
storut, regardless of consequences, and
with a single eye to the purification of the
Government. Lot. him keen on till over
taken by exhaustion.— X. I'. Sun.
A Good Text.
Here is a good text to be pondered by
the political noniinatingconvent.iona about
to meet: “Moreover, thou shalt provide
out of all the people such as fear God:
men of truth, hating covetousness, and
place such over them to be rulers. ’’
It is noticed by travelers that South
Americans are putting on more style than
they used to: They now dip the thumb
and forefinger into the meat dish, whereas
twenty years ago they made a dive with
both hands.
+
Not Pushing.
Those who go around with the contri
bution box in California churches, plead
and argue the ease as they go along.
One of the gentlemen recently extended
the box to a rough lurking miner, slowly
shook his head. .
“Come, Willi ni, give something,
said the deneem.
“Can’t do it, dunk," said Bill.
“Why not? Isn’t the cause a good
oue?" . ,
“Yes. good 'miff; but I mu t able to
give nothing."
“Pooh! I know better. You must give
abettor reason than that.’
“I owe too much money.’
“Well. William, you owe God a much
larger debt than any one else."
“That's true, but. he ain’t pushing me
like the rest of my creditors.”
