Ay, Lord, I heard their pray'rs resound w fiere e er I listeninc stood. But. by my soul, not one of them Frayed for his brother's good." Then looked Jehovah fire and flame, Ana spake nis fierce decree "Vh makes a selfish prayer is thine, in otners come to me. When all that night on Heaven's walls Ihe Lord and Hatan stood. To see how many sons of men u ould pray for a brother's good. A last they watched there many an hour And yet there came no sounds: The poor they piayed for pennies and ine rich tuey prayed for pounds. The ugly prayed for beauty and I lie awkward prayed for trace: The old ones prayed for youthful looks lo hide a wrinkled face. The limping prayed for healthy joints, ine red-naired prayed for brown: The short ones prayed for longer legs, ine long to be cut down. The brown-eyed prayed for blue ones, ine cross-eyed prayed for straight: The fat ones prayed for melting down, The lean ones prayed for weight. The doctor prayed for sickness and The undertaker death; The captive prayed for sunshine and The phthisicky for breath. The maiden prayed for lover's vows, lue soldier prayed for war; The beggar prayed for a horse to ride, Xhe drunkard prayed for "more." The sick man prayed for break of day, : me tniei tor longer nignt; The miser prayed for more of gold, The blind man prayed for sight. At last there came a tearful voice Up to the starlight sky, "Obi may my uncle's soul this night Rest with the Lord on high." There's one for me," Jehovah cried; "Not so," the Devil said, "He's heir to all his uncle's wealth. Hence wants the old man dead." Just then there came another voice In supplicating tones, "Oh I may the grave be lata to close O'er neighbor David's bones." "There's surely one for me at last!" But Satan cried: "Not yet 1 lie merely wants the man to live Until he pays a debt." And so they waited till the stars Went out at break of day ; Then Satan seized bis bag of souls And sped his homeward way. Upon high heaven's glittering wall Long had they listening stood, But not a mortal all that night Prayed for his brother's good. Ex. PARABLE OP THE PALACE. Some More Leaves from the Book of Mormon. And the head of the Church took unto him many wives, the number whereof no man knoweth unto this day. And the last wife was Amelia. And after the sealing she opened her moutn and said: "Ami, Amelia, the favored one, to reside ih the habitation of the common harem ? Build me a palace wherein I may lire. And Brigham answered and saii: "I build no palace; we must abide here in tne house, you and the rest. - And Amelia reached forth with her right hand and tooK the rolling-pin and ner left nana unto the sweeping broom and she smote Brigham upon the tern pie, and he was sore afraid. ; And he Tied aloud, saying: "Belov ed, I will build thee a palace, or two paiaces 11 mou wilt, Dut smite not a poor ; old man who tarries not long from the grave. . And she smote him again, sai ine "Shut up, thou bald-head: the wag of thy jaw wearieth me." - And he cried aloud, saying; ''The hand of affliction is heavy upon the servant ; of God. Oh Lord, take me from this wildersessl" But the Loid harkened not, for His spirit was bitter against the false pro phet, asd she smote him many times. And behold. : he builded a palace for his favored wife, for he durst not re fuse, fearing the broom and the rolling pin. . .... And the heighth thereof was 150 cu bits, and the breadth thereof 90 cubits, and the cost thereof 200,000 shekels of goldL And 'the contractors salted down half the money. And when the people saw the palace that was built, they - wondered and said: "Can this thing be in Israel?" And they paid their tithes murmur ing. : x And Brigham was gathered to his fathers, and John Taylor reigned in his stead. ... And John Taylor lifted up his voice in the tabernacle,, saying: "Behold all ye that harken unto me: I am a sim ple man, and wot not of riches. I shall lire forever in the habitation of the Howly.: : - The gold is mine, and the silver is mine, but I will touch it not V- Give me but a -little before I ero 1 hence, and be no more seen. ..And the people made merry among themselves, saying: :- "Ile-speatetb; not from his heart." And the Apostles said unto Mm: "Master, behold, this Palace is thine and all therein. Go ye unto and abide there."- And he answered and said: . - I will abide there if you fix it -up with new furniture to the value of 100,000 shekels." And they answered and said, "Is not the tithing box. overflowing. And he whispered to his cniei men, "I'll stand in but the people must not think bo." And he proclaimed to the people that he would take neither purse nor I scrip, but they knew that the possum l spoke. , And the ehosts baunted tne paiace niehtlv ami the people marveled and were sore afraid. AndTavlor went in and on New Year's day the people called and kisaed nis toe But when the apostates came they were cast out like the devi.s of eld. And the bouncers blasphemed mightily and ti e sound of the jacks falling -upen the walk was heard throughout Israel. But when the people saw the splen dors of the palace they scratched their heads saying. "Our tithes did this thing" and tney murmured hut could do Lotbing. And Tavlor swelled with fatness and lusted for more. How to Ban. Very few boys know how to ruu. "Ho, ho!" says a dozen boys." Just brine on the boy that can run faster than I can!" But. stop a moment. I don t mean that most boys can't run fast I mean thev can't run far. . I don't ' believe there is one boy in hrty, or tnose who may read this, who can run a quarter of a mile at a good smart pace without havincr to blow like a porpoise by the time he has made his distance. And how many boys are there who can run, fast or slow, a full mile without stop ping? It hardly speaKs weii -ror our race, does it, that almost any animal in cre ation that pretends to rau at all can outrun any of us? Take the smallest terrier-dog you can find, that is sound and not a pup py, and try a race with him. lie U run a thud raster man you can, ana this with legs not more than six inches lone. I have a hound so active that he always runs at least seventy-five miles when I stay a day in the woods with him: for he certainly runs more than seven miles an hour, and if I am gone ten hours, you see he must travel about seventy-five miles or distance. And then, a good hound will some times follow a fox for two days and nights without stopping, going more than three hundred and fifty miles, and he will do it without eating or sleeping. . Then, you may have heard how some of the runners in the South Af rican tribes will run for long distances hundreds of miles carrying dis patches, making Yery few stops. I make these comparisons to shew that our bovs who can not run a mile without being badly winded are very poor runners. Dut I believe I can tell the boys something that will help them to run better. I was a pretty old boy when I first found it out, but the first time I tried it I ran a mile and a quarter at one dash, and I was not weary or blown. And now I'm going to give you the secret: Breathe through your nose: I had been thinking what poor run ners we are, and wondering why the animals can run so far, and it came to me that perhaps this might account for the differeace, that they always take air through the nose, while we usually beem to pun! through our mouths before we have gone many reds. Some animals, such as the dag and fox, do epeu their mouths and pant while running, but they do this to coel themselves, and not because they cannot get air enough through their noses. I found once, through a sad exper ience with a pet dog, that dogs must die if their nostrils become stopped They will breathe through the mouth only while it is forcibly held open; if left to themselves they always bre&the through the nose. So, possibly, we are intended to take all our breath through the nose, unless necessity drives us to breathe through the mouth. There are many other reasons why we ought to make our noses furnish all the air to our lungs. One is, the nose is filled with a little forest of hair, which is always kept moist, like all the inner surfaces of the nose, and particles of dust that would otherwise rush, into the lungs and make trouble, are caught and kept out by this little hairy net-work. Then the passages of the nose are longer, and smaller, and more crooked than that of the mouth, so that as it passes through them the air becomes warm. . But these are only a few reasons why the nose ought not to be switched off and left idle, as so many noses are, while their owners go puffing through their mouths. All trainers ot men (or racing and rowing, and ail other athletic contests, understand this, and teach their pupils accordingly. If the boys will try this plan, they will soon see what a differ ence it will make in their endurance. After you have run a few rods holding your mouth tightly closed, there will come a time when it will seem as though you could not get air enough through the nose alone; but don't give up f keep right on. and in a few mo ments you will overcome this. A lit tle practice of this method will go far to make you the best runner in the neighborhood. Theo B. Wilson, St. Nicholas for Feb. 1882.

Don't forget that supper, time and place, eat a light breakfast, and ride out. Adirondack. Miss Genevieve Ward. New York Times' London Letter. There is no actress to-day more thor oughly equipped, intellectually, than Miss Genevieve Ward. She is apt to know more than her brightest critics and this is worm-wood to her critics. Her precise place among the foremost living actors.fiis, perhaps, indefinitly hxed, but it is widely felt that in a line of parts, brilliant and subtle and many-sided, suggestive of both high comedy and tragedy, she is peculiarly without a strong competitor. Her Stephanie settled this beyond argu ment. She has no more natural ge nius than liernhardt; her acting lacks the youthful charm and fascination which gave a special beauty to Mile. Barnhardt's; it is the acting of a woman perfectly poised mentally, rig orously trained in a modern and cos pomolitan school, endowed with clear dramatic instinct and searching insight highly artistic and polished, and weighty and mature. Her Stephanie may, nevertheless, be fitly compared to Bernhardt's Camille; for both, rep resenting extreme modern types, are equally finished, flexible, and brilliant, and both are the finest possible ex amples now to be seen of cultivated stage art art entirely independent of propulsive genius. It is significant that Miss Ward s reputation is chiefly European. But it promises now to become American as well. George Eliot and Emerson. The world is never without its men of spiritual vision a kind of insight into reality essentially different from George Eliot's keen analysis of human nature. It is a genius of higher order than hers; it is telescopic, reaching the heavens, where hers was microscopic, revealing the things of earth. Mr. Myers names George Lliot, Carlyle, and Ruskin as three prophets. But we have in Emerson a greater prophet than any of the three; healthy Where Carlyle was dyspeptic; serene and all viewing where Ruskin is partial and passionate: a seer where George Eliot was an analyst. She knew the thought of her day and generation, and was mastered by it: he knows it, and mas ters it. No one is freer than he from bondage to tradition. No one sees more clearly the meanings of science. He is so free from all false or exagger ated fervers that to many he seems cold. . In him the brilliant rays of col orof insight, passion, tenderness, im agination, worship, love seem to blend in the clear white light of truth. And his sincere message rings always with a jubilant tone of faith, and hope, and joy. In everything he sees divini ty, the token and the very presence of God. For him, life pours from every urn a wine of exquisite joy, which never intoxicates, but yields a celestial vigor. With the heavens opening above and about him, he yet keeps his feet always on the firm ground of familiar fact. His poems are inspirations of serene joy. The present is to him so full that be will scarcely dwell on the future. Yet, in his "Threnody, born or a great sor row, we have the foretaste, and al most the "present sense, of eternity. How nobly, in "Social Aims," he writes of Immortality. He goes deeper than any conviction about man's futurity, to that absolute trust in all-ruling good which is the heart of spiritual faith. "I think all sound miads rest on a certain preliminary conviction, namely, that if it be best that con scious personal life shall continue, it will continue; if not best, then it will not."

The following is a cable dispatch from London, in the N. T. Tribune of January 29th, 1882. "An important unpublished work by Thomas Carlyle has bean discover ed lately. It is entitled 'A Tour in Ireland In 1819,' and comprises notes on the moral and political condition of that country of the most stringent character and greatest interest. This manuscript was unknown to Mr. Froude. and it was submitted to his examination. He was so delighted with it that he volunteered to writs an introduction when it is published in book form. Meanwhilo, it has been secured by Edmund Gosse for The Century Magazine, where it will short ly begin to appear as a serial, simul taneously in London and New York." "Some young people," says the Scran ten Republican, can reel off ths rules of grammar from memory, but they cannot construct a gramarical sestence. The sweet girl graduates, so engaging in manner, so precise in pronunciation and so proper in parts of speech, will often stumble most egregiously in syntax, when she puts her pen to pa per. The results of two much theory and no practice to speak of are seen every day in the effusion of professors and public men. There is need of more concrete and less abstract meth ods in the school room. The amount of "dissipated forces" is inexcusably large. The coming reform is going Into the school house. L Present From God. Eherm&n. Gov. Murray tells a laughable story of his experiences in the Georgia march to tbe sea, which is worth re peating. "Speaking of the famous march through Georgia," said the governor, "I never shall forget tho amount of money it cost to keep an old woman from crying herself to death. Of course we were obliged to subsist ofl the country as we went along, and wo naturally took about tho best in sight. One day we took possession of a chick en ranch kept by an old lady, who stood at the front gate with a broom and threatened to lick all of Sherman's forces if they did not move on. Now, chickens were considered as officers' meat, and. as we were in torn ally hun- jry, we went for these old hens pretty ively. When she saw that her favor ite fowls were being caught and killed she keeled right over and began to cry. Presently she began to pcrcarn, and fin ally you could hear that woman's yells clear to Atlanta. I sent tho surgeons in to quiet her, but they filled, and then all the officers took turns, but the more attention paid to her the more she howled. I then got pretty nervous over the infernal noise, because the whole army would hear it, and they might suppose somebody was torturing the' woman. Finally Sherman rode up and asked what was it all about, and when we told him he said: 'Give her a bushel of confederate bonds for. her and see if that won't stop her.' Acting on this hint, I proceeded to business. We had captured a confederate train the day before with 4,000,000 of con federate money, and I hunted up the train at once. The money was worth about two cents on the dollar. Well, I stuffed about half a million dollars in a carpet-sack aud marched into the house. " 'Madam,' said I, opening the sack, I'll give you $50,000 to quit this noise.' It was as still as death in a minute, and then her face expanded in a broad smile. I laid the packages ofjnoney on the table and I never saw such a de lighted woman. Tho effect pleased me, and I continued: 'Gen Sherman F resents his compliments snd $100,000.' never in my life saw such a pleased old woman, and I wound up by dump ing the contents of the sack right down on the floor, and telling her that when it came to contributions to distressed females I could not be outdone by any man living. She invited the officers to supper and she cooked every chicken on the ranch, and set out cider as free as water. We were having a pretty good time when a long, lank old coon came in, and she said it was her husband. Pretty soon his eye fell on the money. 'Sarah,' said he, ?where in blazes did you get all this darned truck?" " A present from Gen. Sherman, said she. 'Taint worth a continental cent; they're kindlin' fires with it down at New Orleans. "Tho old woman rose up, her faco as white as your shirt front, and her eye wasn't pleasant to meet. 'So you are the bilk that gave me this, are you?" she called out, reaching for the old broom. "Tho entire mess roso and started from that house. We never heard any more of her, and there isn't a man of the crowd who would meet that old woman for all that confederate money, if it would bring ono huudred cents on the dollar at the treasury department, Washington."- Salt Lake Tribune. He Loved the Flag. A Woodward avenue saloonist, says the Detroit Free Press, was decorating his bar the other dav with small flags when a stranger who had jtist got out side of four inches of whisky, leaned his elbows on the bar and observed: "Stranger, I do lovo that flag." "Do, eh?" "You bet I do." "Were you in the war?" "Not exactly, but my heart was there." "Where was your body?" "Say, that's the only thing I blama this government for. If there hadn't been such golden chances to make from $100 lo $900 by jumping the bounty I'd have died for the flag, and my old dad aud two brothers would have died for her. It was a rue in tiick of Uncle Sam to shake $600 at a feller who wanted to wrap that o!d flag around him and die on tho field. I jumped the bounty four different times, and between me and you I wish I hadn't. . You see, I hain't hnrdly got the face now to ask Undo S.im to grant me a pension for a broken &X received while on the scoot for Can ada, though I may work up to it in time.
